Hello everyone, I'm currently facing a significant challenge while trying to create technical drawings for a massive assembly (+100,000 components). While I’ve managed to optimize the 3D performance within the Assembly Design workbench, I hit a wall when moving to Drafting. Generating the initial or isometric views takes several hours or simply freezes CATIA entirely, typically getting stuck at step 3/5 of the view generation process. During a tested, I maintain the execution by 03:00:00, then I

Rescue Cabin idea - This cabin is designed for helicopters to save the pilot's life during emergencies and critical situations by detaching from the main airframe. - The concept is based on a cargo helicopter platform, which offers superior balance and structural stability. - The rescue cabin connects to the main airframe via an intermediate structure. In an emergency—much like a fighter jet's ejection seat—the entire cockpit ejects as a capsule; powered by multiple turbojets, it propels itself

How are people using the wall thickness analysis tool? Using the sphere method seems to flag/colour red all hard edges, which then makes it hard to parse through actual thin walls. The ray method produces better results but it's still not necessarily the most intuitive. Would be great to know if I'm just using it wrong thanks Sphere method: Ray method: Sphere method with hard edges

In many electrical systems, there is the concept of a location (called Location is SOLIDWORKS, and Location Designiation in EPlan), which helps define where physically an electrical component is positioned. This is often indicated on the schematics with a dashed box around the spesific symbols (see screenshot). Is this possible in Electrical Systems Design, and if so, how?

Hello Catia User Community, I hope you can help me out with this. I have a simple DWG, made with Autocad (I believe not older than 2025 version). I need to import said DWG and create a sketch for every layer the DWG has. There is a specific funcion for that, called "Sketch from DWG", in Building 3D Design: The dwg has two layers for test reasons: "bagno" and "fancoil". But when I import it using the function, it says it only has...one. Why? What should I do to fix this? TIA

This automotive side-mirror component started with reverse engineering and 3D modeling based on scanned data. We then produced the gray resin prototypes to evaluate the fit, dimensions, and functional details before approving the final design. The next steps included injection mold design, machining, manufacturing, and assembly ,followed by the initial injection trial. The black component shown here is one of the first molded samples. It’s always rewarding to see a project move from scan data

Hello CATIA Team, I would like to propose an enhancement for CATIA Drafting in both CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA. The current annotation positioning tools are useful for alignment and equal spacing, but on dense assembly drawings there is another practical problem: Balloons can be perfectly aligned while their Leader Lines still cross each other. The reason is that equal spacing alone does not necessarily produce a good Balloon order relative to the geometry of the Leader attachment points. I

In this section, you will find technical practices and recommendations for working with Modular Design Approach in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE. INTRODUCTION CONTENT The table below lists key practices covered in this section: Technical Practice DescriptionExploring Modules and Interfaces This technical practice introduces the Modules and Interfaces feature in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE. It demonstrates how to package design features into named, reusable modules. This enables automatic change propagation and

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating how to use modules in your design. The Modules and Interface commands in CATIA enable designers to create self-contained, encapsulated design units that promote reusability, organization, and semantic connectivity between components. By using modules, teams can efficiently manage design alternatives within a single 3D part, reducing errors and streamlining modifications. Interfaces ensure

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case that demonstrates working with alternative modules in your design. During trade studies, designers often create multiple design variants that exist in separate files with no guaranteed interface compatibility. Alternative modules keep every variant inside a single parent module, guaranteeing identical interface contracts and enabling instant switching between them, making design comparison and selection a

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating how to use fallbacks for modules. Designers often rely on a primary module that may become unavailable (deleted, corrupted or out‑of‑date). When the primary module fails, downstream modules break, forcing manual re-modeling. Without a fallback, a single missing module can delay an entire project. A fallback ensures continuity and prevents costly rework. When a connection of a module breaks

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating how to structure the modules. As a modular design grows, the specification tree becomes a flat, unstructured list that is difficult to read, hand off or modify. Without a way to organize modules into a logical hierarchy, managing them becomes just as difficult as working with unorganized features. The Structure Module tools address this by giving designers a way to group, reorder and ungroup

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating how to save modules in a library and instantiate them in a design When a module is saved to a Library, its input and output interfaces are preserved exactly as defined. When that module is instantiated from the library into new 3DSPACE, the interfaces automatically adapt to the new context resolving references, parameters, and geometry without any manual modification. The module's internal

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating how to save modules with catalog. As modular design practices grow, modules saved without a structured classification system become increasingly difficult to discover. Designers cannot filter by function, product line, or standard type, often rebuilding solutions that already exist. Saving a module to a Catalog in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE registers it under a structured classification path, making

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating modules and Interface for Part Design Plus. Part Design Plus in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE involves building complex solid features such as pockets, pads, holes, ribs, and shelled bodies that repeat across parts and product families. Managing these as individual features means every variant requires manual duplication, and every design change requires updating each copy separately. When multiple

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating Modules and Interface for Generative Shape Design Plus. In Generative Shape Design Plus, designs are organized into Geometric Sets each containing surfaces and construction features. Without modules, Geometric Sets lack formal boundaries, defined connections to other Geometric Sets, and a controlled method for creating and comparing alternative surface solutions. Any reference between

Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE Technical Practices! In this section, you will explore a use case demonstrating modules and interface for Concept Structure Design. In Concept Design Engineering, the Module and Interface command enables designers to manage early-stage product concepts with clarity and flexibility. It simplifies the specification tree, facilitates rapid design swaps between alternatives, and maintains continuity by preserving interface contracts. This modular approach speeds up
