    Hybrid Design?

    Probably there is no universal answer like: hybrid design is Good or Bad. I think there are two main scenarios: 1. If you need some rather simple surfaces, wireframes or planes for your solid designed part it is more useful to place these entities inside PartBody. This makes your design more...

    V4 Models To V5

    Hi If you have P2 level of Catia V5 you can import a V4 model into Catia V5 and then save it as IGES or STEP. Igor Jogla 3D Point IK Mechanical Design and Consulting http://mold.netfirms.com

    Extracting Mid-Surface from part model.

    I think there are no automatic tools to convert solid to mid-plane in the market at all. Some software developers declare that their programs can do it. But really it is possible only for very simple models. We already some years are engaged with converting of solid models to mid-plane models...

    CATParts comparison

    Hi There is a way to compare details without DMU. 1. Insert both parts into one temporary product. 2. Apply different colors to each model, For example Red and Yellow. 3. See places where colors are not overlapped. Igor Jogla 3D Point IK Mechanical Design and Consulting http://mold.netfirms.com

    save as older version-hide planes

    As I understood you want to transfer models from Catia v5.7 to Catia v4.22. Save your Catia V5 part as a .model. Resulting file with extension .model has a native format of geometry for Catia V4. Then open the .model file with V4.22 and save it again. In documentation for Catia v5.7 (V4...

    save as older version-hide planes

    To save a model for Catia v4 use SaveAs model. You should remember that you cannot to transfer creation history to Catia v4.2.2, only the final Solids or Surface will be transfered. To hide all planes in v5.7 you can use the Search command. Edit -> Search -> .Type (Select Planes) -> Click...

    Injection Mold design

    I design molds only in 3D using Euclid3 and Catia v5 more than 4 years. Today I do not see any reasons to design molds in 2D especially for complex molds. For example mold on picture has 612 parts and very complex kinematics (double opening, double ejection, simple slides and slides with rack...
