    Create Line ID error in Piping design

    Little Cthulhu, Thannks for your response. I did have the backup. The problem is that I don't know what line or where to remove some parameters in this Project.xml file If you know how, would you point it out. Also I don't know if we can edit the file, can we save to replace the original file...

    Create Line ID error in Piping design

    Hi, I use Piping design to create a pipe run but have trouble to create Line ID because the session ask to set a directory for Line lists in Project XML files that has write access. I watch on Youtube and see somebody advise to edit Projectdata.xml files but I don't want to screw up the setup...

    Fastener edge margin on composite parts

    Hi, For composite part design; as far as I know, there's a requirement of 2.5D edge margin. For metallic part, the edge margin is defined as the distance of fastener hole center to the nearest edge of part, but for composite part, how do we define this E/D? In addition, for the composite...

    Run Catia V5 on Window 8

    I used to run CATIA V5R20 on the laptop running Window 7 and it works fine. When I upgrade my operating system to Window 8.1, CATIA does not work anymore. I try to run Compatibility Troubleshooter and change the Compatibility Mode to Window 7 but the application does not work too. Does anybody...

    Adjustable gear door hinges

    Hi, I currently do a trade study on the gear doors design to make easier and faster for rigging and installation. Upon installation, the gear door need to be fair (gap and step) with the adjacent panels. To achieve this goal, the door need to swing along the fwd and aft hinge/fitting hinge...

    Metal and Composite detail design

    Supposed this part is a large Aluminum panel (hatch cover) 20" long X 6" wide X .063" thk , I think we could save more weight by changing it to thicker composite (fabric and tape plys) panel. In that case, what's the thickness ratio of the composite panel should be relative to the metallic panel...

    Metal and Composite detail design

    Hi, Is there any design rule of thumb when designing a metallic (Aluminum or Titanium) and Composite detail part? For weight saving, if we change the metallic bracket (.063" Al. thick) to composite bracket assuming that the applied load is the same, what should the thickness of the composite...

    Hole angularity mismatch

    Some manufacturing standards specify that the hole angularity between drilled holes on the parts should not beyond 2 degree when fastener are installed. Is this that maximum hole angularity that manufacturing must follow to ensure the surface flushness and joint fatigue life? This is the case...

    Hole angularity mismatch

    The two determinant assembly holes of .1285" dia on each composite part are used to index in order to drill the other holes from drill plate. They plan to install 1/4" bolts into those holes. The angularity mismatch is from .15 deg to .42 deg between the center line of the determinant assembly...

    Hole angularity mismatch

    I am doing an angularity mismatch study on determinant assembly holes between two composite parts. Both parts have two determinant assembly holes of .1285 dia. drilled. What is the allowable angularity mismatch (in terms of degree) between the hole center line on two parts if they are pinned...
