    Creating surfaces and not CGR's from Swept Volumes

    Hello, I use the Swept Volume option in DMU Kinematik to create a swept volume of a mechanism's replay. The end result is only a CGR file/s. Is there any way, where I could create the swept volumes as CATIA surfaces ? The CGR files are really not workable with. "Das Beste Oder Nichts"

    Picking and selecting CGR data

    One component that swings on its hinge (0 - 90 deg) has been simulated to show its movement. This kinematic simulation data has been sent as CGR data in catia. I think its CGR because it has been saved with that name. I am not able to pick and select this data at all. I need to extract the...

    Method to check interference

    Hello, I have an assembly, which consists of a a few pipes, a motor cylinder and some other wirings. There is a packaging requirement that no other part/component should come within a range of 15mm of this assembly. In other words, this assembly should have a clash/interference free zone of...

    Points and Planes Repetition

    I have a spline of length, say 50mm. To create multiple instances of points on the spline, theoretically you can specify either the a) no. of points to be generated or b) distance to be maintained between each point. In case a) if you give 5 points, assuming you want them to be equally spaced...

    Flag note with leader not updating

    I have a datum line element which I have named as Line segment 1 using the flag note with leader. When this datum line element is replaced by another and a local update is made, the flag note disappears and an exclamation mark appears on it under annotations. What option should I change/do to...

    Book Recommendation

    I am basically a "newbie" to the field of CATIA V5. Everyday I learn something new. I am interested in learning more about macros, and writing and executing UDF´s. Also, the field of FEM is one where I would like to try my hand at. Can anyone recommend a good book / web resource where I as a...

    CATIA - Surface extract

    I am creating a CATPart which is to contain surface geometries from a large number of different solids. I extract surfaces using the surface extract command (GSD). I am not even 25% complete and my file weighs in at around 500mb. Is there any way I can reduce the size ? Or is there a way I can...

    Maintaining Location Reference during Copy and Paste.

    Hello, I have a engine part in CATIA which is located at some distance from the origin. I make a surface extract of the part (using the create datum element option). I then copy this surface extract and paste it in another CATPart file. It automatically locates itself at the origin in the...
