CATIA - Part Design 2 (PDG) - HAYCAD INFOTECH

1 Mechanical Design CATIA - part Design 2 (PDG). CATIA V5R19. Mechanical Design CATIA - part Design Design complex parts with highly productive and robust modeling features in an intuitive environment Product overview This CATIA -P2 offers a new generation CATIA . product for part Design with one interface on NT and UNIX. Interoperates with CATIA . Version 4 data and methodologies. The "smart-solid" Design kernel combines high productivity feature-based toolsets and boolean methodologies, delivering a flexible solution enabling multiple Design approaches. CATIA - part Design 2 (PDG) can be used Product Key Customers Benefits with CATIA V5 applications like Assembly Design , Drafting, Wireframe & Surface Feature-based, Hybrid Modeling PDG performs associative feature based hybrid modeling, involving either IGES or Product Highlights CATIA V5 surfaces.

2 Reference elements or geometrical specifications, including Points, Provides an Associative, feature based Lines, Planes, and Curves generated by the hybrid modeller Interoperable with CATIA CATIA Wireframe and Surface product works V4 within a V5 part Design . Sketched features Incorporating thread specifications, on with perpendicular or un-perpendicular, hole definitions and circular pads and multi-contoured profiles include Pads and holes. Pockets Shafts, Grooves, Ribs, Slots and Includes Flexible, post- Design 3D Stiffeners. parameterization Creates Sketches and 3D designs in assembly context Sketching and 3D Design Makes designs easier to understand Sketching and 3D Design is performed in an across the entire enterprise with part assembly context with user controled Structure Editor, speeding up initial Design associativity.

3 Sketching and Design is based and changes on the DCM-2D solver (from the D-Cubed Expanded hybrid modelling capability Company). Full variational sketching supports shape Design products locally constrained profiles and automatic constraints recognition, as well as auto-dimensioning of a sketch or of specified elements of a sketch. Direct input of dimensions is supported. Predefined contours Copyright 2002-2008 Dassault Systemes - All rights reserved 2. include oblong, hexagons and key hole. A post-sketch refinement of constraint sets with parameters and equations can be performed. PDG has the capacity to create construction elements, so as to simplify the definition of sketches and constraints.

4 Offers Relational Design capabilities PDG's modification management enables Sketch Wireframe or Surface Elements used in one existing feature to be replaced by another one. Sketch support (plane or face). can be changed. An assistant system manages the deletion impact, allowing and children to be deleted and features to be replaced or re-routed. Another assistant manages the modification impact, showing the geometry to be replaced and highlighting bodies to be updated. It has the capability to isolate features, keeping the geometry alone without any history. Flexible post- Design and local 3D. parameterization offers the ability to add Design constraints either during the feature creation or after the Design is completed, by adding 3D constraints across the features.

5 Under-constrained designs are allowed and over constrained designs are possible. In such cases, CATIA will alert the user, asking for a decision on which constraint to remove. PDG's part Structure Editor makes it easier to understand designs and make changes to the Design . The reuse of a part shape within another part facilitates concurrent engineering. CATIA V4 Interoperability PDG is interoperable with CATIA Version 4. applications and data. V5 parts can be used by CATIA V4 (requiring V4 Release Refresh 1). Existing V4 designs can be migrated to V5. PDG is interoperable with CATIA Version 4. applications and data. V5 parts can be used by CATIA V4 (requiring V4 Release Refresh 1).
