We use GSD and Shape to do all our primary modeling, but with GSD it takes our designers more time to do proposals and concepts compared to our competitors who are using Rhino or other non-history based software tools.
My question is what design mode would work or be similar to the Rhino...
We have two workstations in the office that when using Catia (V5-6R2021) all day the user input slows down during the day. So towards the end of the day and particularly in drafting after selecting an entity to implement a command or to finish a command the windows busy icon pops up and spins...
We need to change the color of the drawing view title labels ( like "Side View" & "Scale" ) I searched and tried various options in my Drafting Standards file to no avail, what is the specific path in the tree of the standards file to achieve this or is there another way?
Using V5-6R2017.
I deleted Catia B25 after I had installed B26 and all my Windows File Explorer icons have gone blank, ie the catpart icon is not shown on a part file and the catdrawing icon is not shown on the drawing file.
I have tried running cnext /regserver but that does not work, is there a way to...
I have a Quadro K2000 card.
For Catia is there any specific settings required to optimize graphics/display performance in the NvVidia Control panel, other than just have the latest driver update and that's it?.
Under 3D Settings/Manage 3D Settings and then the "Programs Settings" tab I selected...
In a composite eye plate what would the tolerance be for an "Interference Fit" on Dia 30mm hole for a 2205SS straight bush or top hat bush, the C-Plate thickness is 25mm, would the guidelines for metal holes be appropriate for composite carbon plates or would it be slightly different and by what...
We have a couple of seats of Catia V5-6R2013 and were looking at the option of doing a TOS (Termination of Support) which would be valid for 5 years, this could work as apparently Dassault has apparently not going to keep developing V5 in any meaningful way.
My question is if we go this route...
Our projects are stored in a primary project folder that has relevant works sub-folders (Docs, Worksheets, Catia etc etc). We would like to rename the primary (root) project folder. There are no links outside of the Catia folder and its sub-folders they are only in the Catia folder and it's...
After installing a new Quadro/Firepro card do you load the standard drivers that come with the card and then the dedicated/certified Catia driver over this or do you just install the dedicated/certified Catia drivers only and these will be good for the whole workstation and all the other...
See attached file for sweep. The problem lies where the sweep goes around and down the short vertical step. I would like it to go around the perimeter keep the same profile shape and remain normal/parallel to the xy and yz planes if possible.
We have a small design business and would like to sound out the best way to protect our and our consultants drawing and design information. We have on various occasions heard of designers/cad operators who have media with copies of data from previous employers.
The drawing info in our office...
Is Converter Wizard the only command in Catia to simplify an imported igs surface (similar to "Rebuild" in Rhino where you can reduce the number of control points in the U and V directions within a specified tolerance)?.
The surface I have seems quiet heavy as there is a slight lag when doing...
What would the best way to loft/skin a wing surface where I have leading and trailing edge profile curves and a root foil and tip foil. Would then like to be able to modify the leading/trailing edge profile curves (ie make the foil chord longer or shorter depending on the profile geometry I...
Which Visual Basic type/version (v6, 2008 etc) does one use for and with Catia to get started, and are there any good recommendations for book titles, in the Dummies series or others
When I define a section cut at a specified angle Catia generates the section normal/perpendicular to the defined section cut, I would like to have or be able to set it so that the generated section cut is normal/perpendicular to the primary model space axis/plane system. How do I get this to...
When working on a surface in a geometrical set and for instance, adjust the control points on this surface, a new adjusted surface and the original surface appear in the specification tree. Is there a setting in options that either hides the original surface completely so as it does not appear...
I have been working on a project where we need to check the deflection of a tapered beam and I have been looking up in Roark's "Formulas for Stress and Strain" Table 13a at the deflection coefficients for an end loaded cantilever beam look wrong or the table header has a typo as he has Inertia...
We have a model of a 25' yacht, model file size is 105mb from the model and in generative drafing we have taken off 2 drawing sheets and each sheet has 3 viewports, the file size for this catdwg is 90mb.
The performance (ie sketching, modeling, panning etc)is perfectly workable; but when working...
What is the best and easiest method of extracting flat patterns/templates for NC router cutting from a model/part and into Generative Drafting so as we can then send off to NC job shop or have plotted full size for the shop floor - using ym1 module. Note these templates are flat in the model and...
