Questions on CATIA V5 Fundamentals .
CATIA V5
FUNDAMENTALS
CATIA is
commercial software suite developed by the French company Dassault
Systems and
marketed worldwide by IBM. Written in the C++ programming language. The
software was created in the late 1970s and early 1980s to develop Dassault's
Miragefighter jet, then was adopted in the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding,
and other industries. Catia V5 features a parametric solid/surface-based
package which uses nurbs as the core surface representation and has several
workbenches that provide support. V5 can work with other applications,
including Enovia, Smarteam, and various CAE
Analysis applications.
1. Expand CATIA?
Computer Aided
Three Dimensional Interactive Applications.
2. Can I open solid works files in CATIA?
Sorry, you cannot
open Solid works files directly in CATIA. You can use Solid works to export
your solid works files into STP, IGS, or X_T format. CATIA can open those
files, but the history of modelling will be lost.
3. Does CATIA works on UNIX platform?
Yes.
4. Is it possible to hide specification tree?
Yes, with help of F3 button, but the option in tool command
must be checked ok.
5. What are features?
A feature is the smallest building block that can be
modified individually. A model created in CATIA V5 is a combination of number
of individual features and each features is related to one another directly or indirectly.
If proper design intent is maintained while creating the model, then these
features automatically adjust their values to any change in their surroundings.
6.
What are the different types of documents in CATIA V5?
All files created using CAtTIA V5 are referred
to as documents.
The
common documents are:
1. A
part document (.CATPart)
2.
Sketcher document (.CATPart)
3.
Assembly document (.CATProduct)
4. A
drawing document (.CATDrawing )
5.
Surface Design (.CATPart)
6.
GSA (.CATAnalisis)
7. NC
(.CATProcess)
8.
Material (.CATMaterial)
9.
Shape (.CATShape)
7. How
can I hide an element while creating complex designs?
Show
mode help us to see all components
presently opened.
You can hide an element by transferring it to the no show space for time being.
Click on Hide/Show icon.For the hidden elements,their icons will be in shade.
Elements are now hidden and the screen appears as below.
