Hello all,
I'm using Catia v5r16 and doing a thermal plant layout with pipes made in piping design module. When I try to export the model in .igs, .stp or .3dxml, the model translates correctly except all the pipes are gone. Fiddling with .stp options got me to get the pipes in the Tree, but...
While trying to figure out which direction I should take in my future career, a ph.d study has come up as an interesting alternative. I already have an equivalent of European MS degree (dipl.ing. in my country) and have a good opportunity for a ph.d. study in a field I'm interested in, plus work...
When I import a cluster of points in Part Design (from an IGES file), I can't zoom in on it. It's in a very tiny scale, so zooming in manually takes ages... please help?
I'm in a position to work in a small, private engineering firm that's 22% owned by my parent. The firm is progressing nicely, seems to be working in a perspective field (agricultural equipment, seeming to grow with all the whole wheat/ecological production hype), it offers good training and...
I'm trying to import some GID meshes into Catia using .dat format (bulk data file) created by export to NASTRAN. However Catia keeps reporting an error in file (which isn't there, because it imports to Fluent normally, as a Nastran file).
Export of .dat files from Catia works normally and I...
Hello!
I'm new to Catia v5r16 and I only recently realised hybrid design is the default option set! Now I'm reluctant to switch back to the "old" way of doing things, and can't find any useful info in order to clarify what to do. Are there any special advantages to hybrid design? What is it...
I'm presently living in an Eastern European country, and will soon graduate in Mechanical engineering. Our schooling system makes this a 9 semester college course (4.5 years) which earns you a title of a "dipl.ing." (simmilar as Austria, I think). We recently accepted the Bologna modification...
I've been modelling large sites with little detail in Catia (ie a schematic layout of a thermal plant cooling system including the topology of it's situation). I went about it by not using system layout wb but part/product/assemby and piping wbs, scaled to 0.001. Up until now, the total size of...
I seem to be unable to run these two programs on the same instance of WindowsXP without having to re-set the lmtools options every time I want to start the other, and edition the Enviroment Variables. I have only the I-DEAS NX 11 server offered in the lmtools and cannot find a way to define a...
Is it possible, in Catia, to group certain elements in the Tree? In essence, to make a formulation simmilar ot as follows:
- Pipes
- pipelineRoute(1)
- PipelineRoute(2)
- Channel
- ChannelProfileSketches
- Profile(1)
- Profile(2)
-...
I have recently found a thread on this forum about downloadable standard parts from sites such as http://www.traceparts.com, etc... however they come in .x_t format... I m at a loss on how do I import that in Catia? Do I need a translating software? And if I do, which one? Thank you very much...
I'm sorry to maybe clogg the forum, but I'm very new to Catia and don't really know where to start... If you saw my previous thread, I gave up lofting the gulf as I need precise geometry in order to run advanced fluid flow simmulations.
Instead, I triangulated the gulf in SMS 8.1, converted it...
Hi I'm trying to make a 3D geometry of a gulf for meshing purposes; I'd like to loft it bottom->top and I did the profiles but "loft" won't select them. They're all closed curves in different sketchers and different planes, containing only the visible geometry. What might be the problem? Thax a...
