    send .dwg files containing XRef - best way?

    Hello everybody, I am trying to prepare some Autocad drawings to be sent to the customer. The person who has received the files sent for the first time called me and told me the drawings are not complete or there are errors generated by not found xrefs... Can anybody explain me which is the...

    ...simple FEA software?

    Hello everybody, I'm looking for a simple "FEA" software which should only handle the following: it has a simple drawing interface (something like a sketcher) where I can draw the profile of a bar (or beam) - but just the neutral fiber, just lines and arcs - to be able to represent linear bars...

    Kinematic - Trace position in assy?

    Hello, when I generate a trace from a point through the kinematic with the option "create new part" for this trace, it is not positioned correctly - so with the first point in the original point, but somewhere in space! This is not very nice, with Catia 4 it was very simple to obtain the trace...

    Cannot see 3D geometry when open step file...

    Hello everybody, I have the following problem: I have received a step file from a supplier; this .stp file should contain a big assembly. When I open it in SolidWorks, I see the structure in the structure-tree (left side) but no 3D geometry at all!!! I've tried to reframe many times, I checked...

    XP 32 bit on AMD Turion 64x2 - Mouse coursor freezes intermittently

    Hello, I have a parallel installation of WIndows XP Pro 32bit on my Toshiba Satellite A215 with AMD Turion 64x2 processor. The first operating system is Windows XP Pro 64bit... and with it everything works perfect, but under XP 32bit the mouse coursor freezes each 4 seconds for about 0,5...

    Copy sketch from one part to another?

    Hello, how can I copy a sketch from a part to another one? It would be perfect if I could also preserve the constraints... Thanks in advance!

    Catia V5 - Constrain / position bodies within a CATPart

    Hello, which is the best way to position PartBodies within a multibody CATPart using constraints (dimensions, etc.) and not using the compass? Are there some recomandations or best practices? For example, if I receive AllCATPart files and I am trying to move some components in other...

    Best way / tipps to design pipes in context

    Hello everybody, can somebody give me some advices on how to make pipes in an assembly (industrial installation)? I think I have to use "design in context" because the pipes are linking different equipments and the paths are not very simple. I'm working with SW Office 2006 - so the routing...

    Structural member / type --> not all types?

    Hello everybody, why I cannot see in the type list all types of profiles when I use "Structural member"? For example, if I use "Structural steel" from Toolbox I can choose in ISO/SC Beam between SC100, SC120... but in "Structural member", I select Standard = Iso but under Type is only "angle...

    2d "sketcher" for mechanism analysis

    Hello everybody, I'm looking for a software which has a 2d parametric sketcher where I can define a layout of a mechanism, put myself the forces (actions, reactions, friction) and do analysis with them. I must be able to represent the forces as lines with arrows, torques as arcs with arrows...

    Mate between sketch entity and 3D geometry

    Hello, I cannot make, in assembly, a mate (relation, in my case concentricity) between a positioning sketch and a circular edge of a solid... It worked until yesterday, but now, if I activate the "mate" function, I can only select the edge of the 3d solid but not the circle from my positioning...

    How to find a component in the structure tree?

    Hello everybody, is it possible in SW 2007 to right-click on a component in 3D to highlight it in the structure tree? I have a big assembly with a lot of sub-assemblies and components... and I'm trying to find a screw in the structure tree by selecting it first in space (highlight the part)...

    ATI Radeon Xpress X1200 and Catia

    Hello, has anybody some experience with this graphic card in Catia V5 ? I have some small problems with it and I would like to see if it's a general problem or not? Thank you in advance. Conrad

    good 2d parametric sketcher?

    Hello everybody, I'm looking for a simple solution to perform ordinary mechanism analysis: a parametrical sketcher where I can define some 2d geometrical entities, constraint them (like kinematics - sets in Catia V4) and analyse some parameters... (simple simulation of forces as lines, etc.). I...

    Gauss distribution graph

    Hello everybody, how can I obtain a diagram with the Gauss distribution of a lot of measured values? Is in excel a special function available for this purpose? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Find out where the max/min is

    Hello everybody, I have a simple problem which I cannot solve... Example: I have on column A the position number (1,2,3, ...) and on column B different values (measurement values). I can very easy put in a cell the maximal (or minimal) value of my B column using the "max" ("min") function, but...

    Tolerance analysis / Data output in Catia V5

    Hi everybody, I have in fact two questions (as you can see): 1) Is it possible to perform real tolerance analysis in V5 (for me, it would be perfect to be able to perform such analysis directly in sketcher!)? 2) Is it possible to output numerical datas (for example, if I "perturb" an angle and...
