Hey Guys,
I'm still really terrible with GD&T but this is a problem I have run across numerous times.
Is it bad form to dimension to a radius centre point?
The reason I ask is because in a lot of programs you can foreshorten radius dimensions but you can't then foreshorten the linear...
I am currently in the process of designing a charge air cooler pipe for a class 8 truck and I need some advice on which finish to spec for the part.
The pipe it's self will be ASTM A787 Type 1 aluminized steel but it will be welded to a ASTM A513 steel fitting. Typically the aluminized steel...
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to learn how to generate Gcode and run machining sumulations in Catia. I'm just playing with a couple rough models at the moment but I'm having a bit of a hard time. For some reason whenever I try to run a simulation it get the error:
"[INFO]: Some points of the Tool...
I have been having nothing but problems with the FOG laws. No matter what I do, I can't get the laws to work.
what I really want to do is to be able to use a Parameter, driven by a spreadsheet, to hide/show parts in the model. So far I have had no luck.
For starters, Catia doesn't seem to...
I'm having an extremely irritating problem with V5R19
Whenever I try to add a part or assembly to an existing assembly I get the irritating "Part Number Conflict" window popping up. I then have to go through 20-50 parts selecting and then pressing the "automatic rename button". How do I...
Hey Guys,
I have a part that is driven with a design table (xml spreadsheet) and the thing won't update. The parameters in the spreadsheet have been changed and usually the model will automatically update. Any ideas what is going on? This is terribly frustrating.
I'll add that I just...
What in the world does this error mean?
"the swept wall you intend to generate doesn't lie fully on the support"

This obviously has something to do with having a curved cut in a bend... how do I make it work? Don't tell me it's...
Hey Guys,
I think the DMU Kinematics module is a really useful tool but no one in my office is using it... mostly because no one knows how. I would like to spearhead the initiative and learn how to use the tool. I'm going through the Catia docs and reading a tutorial I found online. here...
OK, this is really pissing me off. How in the hell do you define the origin of a product?
The one thing that drives me f'n crazy about catia is that the products don't have a coordinate system.
I find myself adding an empty part to all of my assemblies just so I have a point of reference.
I...
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with using catia over remote assistance? I have used it over remote desktop before and it works fine but my boss and I were thinking that remote assistance could be a convenient way to discuss design ideas.
Anyway, we can connect via remote...
I can't believe this.... this is the kind of crap that makes you want to pull your f'ing hair out.
I have a rib, in a body.... and Catia won't let me delete it... It just won't.... I can hit delete... and it pops up with the delete window and after I delete it, IT'S STILL THERE!!!!!!!! Then...
Hey,
I'm trying to apply a picture to a material so I can use it in a model but the stupid material library is "read only" is there a way to make stupid catia give me access to the library?
Thanks
Hey Folks
I have made myself up a model, I created 2 scenes and then I did a full drawing based on the 2 scenes I made. My boss got back to me the other day and informed me that 2 of the parts in the model needed to be changed.... big problem....
So I don't want to do this whole drawing...
