Catia 5 R21 Modeling Assay 1

[CAD2015]

Hi,

How would you create a fully parameterized part, using the PartBody in the attached part file, as a reference?
Thanks,

Any thoughts?
It seems to be a difficult design.......

[JeniaL]

the design is not difficult. as you can see there are only several elements. use parameters while you do design.

Jenial,

Can you make it?....
How would you do it?

It's quick and dirty and still needs some work but a concept is there.

 

[JeniaL]

you can use or solid approach or surfacing approach method. in addition to that use parameters and formulas.

kr7530,

Thanks for your fast reply.
What version of Catia do you use?
I couldn't open the file you posted.
I use V5.R21 ........................

JeniaL,

I am primordially a NX user.
I do not like using surfaces (that's because I do not have GSD training).
Solid approach would be me first option...................
Which one is your preference?


USSagittarius

 

[JeniaL]

depends. for a prismatic parts i'm going with solid approach. but most of the time i'm doing toling design for composites so in this case i'm going with surfacing.

just to get an idea start with a simple part with several elements. you'll see it's easy.

USSagittarius,

Sorry, R22 is what we are running on.
The attached step file shows the progression.
