i create this system with a subsystem (blue part + brown part.... with flexibility). The Cube slide on the long part. It works fine on assembly design, but when i create mechanism (Mechanical system Design new UI) connexion with parts on subsystems are not added. So: - i add submechanism - i need to create the new joints (between long part and brown part, and between cube and blue part) ... but i can't add joints Any ideas ?? Actually, i need to go to Motion Design to create the joint !

Hello everyone, I have a question about how to specify the exact mass of a 3D part in CATIA 3DExperience. I read the post linked below about the same topic, but I'm still having trouble figuring out how to use BI Essentials to specify the mass of the part. In the BI Essentials, the drop-down menu does not include any option related to specifying the mass (see picture below). Any suggestions and help are welcome. Thank you!

Hello everyone, By default, after resolving a Component Family, all attached drawings share the same title, whereas some customers prefer to have a unique title for each drawing. I explain below how you can map the drawing titles with an Excel table column contained in the generic model: 1/ In your generic 3D Part/Product, add a new parameter which must be mapped with the Excel column dedicated for drawing names 2/ In a separate 3DPart/Product, create a new Action with this EKL code

I have this assembly and i can created the BOM, but how do i create a view and a BOM that only shows the parts from the view.. ?

I can also make isometric and all sort of other views, but I am looking for auxiliary views that are at a 45° angle from the main view. I am aware that there is a command

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the Bill of Material (BOM) table in Drafting. 👉 Is there a way to display the drawing name (e.g. drw-xxxx) in the BOM table, instead of the physical product name? Use CaseFor our suppliers - who do not have access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform - we send a ZIP package containing all Derived Outputs (“Download All Derived Outputs”). In this package, the STEP (3D) and the PDF (2D) are linked through the drawing. Therefore, it is much clearer for suppliers if

In one of our recent projects on the Volvo FH headlamp, several of the plastic mounting clips , originally made of PA , were broken, and no replacement parts were available in the market. To restore the headlamp, we reverse-engineered the clip, redesigned the internal geometry, and produced the final part using a resin 3D printer. For fabrication, we selected an engineering-grade resin with mechanical properties close to the original PA component to ensure proper functionality and durability.

When creating a design for something like a plastic part with insert molded components, I have in the past used a structure like the one shown here, where the 3Dshape for the plastic part lives in a physical product and it includes parts within it. The issue I am having, is that I am now unable to calculate the mass in BI essentials of the 3DShape for the plastic part. How do I make the mass on 3D shape calculate appropriately?

Hello everyone! I received this 3D model of a component. I have issues with the IDC_Piastra per top vetro, a boomerang shaped component. The issue is that a symmetry element appears in BOM. That's because it is outside of the 3D Shape...everything oustide the 3D shape is considered part of a BOM. Is there a way to move that "Grano Filettato M5 L30 MM" inside the 3D shape? I tried copy and pasting, manually moving and reorder tree, but it won't budge. Do you think I should re do the symmetry

ContextGeneralities The piping slope is the change in elevation with respect to its flat horizontal position. The piping slope is provided in various piping systems mainly due to free-draining requirements. A slope in the pipe helps the liquid to flow easily in the downward direction. So, it helps in avoiding the accumulation of liquid inside the piping system. This in turn helps the system to eliminate two-phase slug flow problems. Underground drain piping Condensate piping system Drains and

Hello all, In the ISO standard, drawing dimensions are placed above the dimension line whereas in ANSI standard, dimensions are centered on the dimension line. However, even working with the ISO standard and to clearly add dimensions in some limited space of drawings, customers sometimes need to create dimension centered on the dimensions line (see example below). How to achieve that result in CATIA Drafting? It's possible by customizing the ISO standard and using the « ANSI » value for the «
