How to design a rectangle to round transition in Generative Sheetmetal Design
Hello, I want to design a pretty simple part, like a hopper, which is rectangular on one side and circular on the other. There are tutorials on youtube using the hopper function in GSD. I managed to get the correct result. However the part I get is a sheet of metal that needs to be rolled in a conical roller machine to be manufactured. I would like to manufacture this in a press brake. I followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlKRRdF91Ac I'd like to know how to turn it into

Alternative to “Copy with Mates” in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE?
Hi, As a former SolidWorks user, I used the Copy with Mates tool quite often. It was especially useful when working with fasteners on complex geometries, as it helped reduce repetitive part insertion and mating work. I would like to know whether there is a similar tool, command, or technique in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE that can help reduce repetitive part insertion and assembly constraints. Does anyone know the best way to handle this in 3DEXPERIENCE? Thank you in advance.

Body Split and keep both sides?
I know there isn't an out of the box way to use the Part Design split command that results in two separate bodies, but is there any clever or automated ways to achieve this? The most basic way I have devised to accomplish this is to use paste special with link to create two new part bodies identical to the first and then perform a split on each body keeping opposing sides. I attempted to convert this operation to a power copy, but I wasn't able to figure out how to assign a body as an input for

Piping - Setup
Context Sharing Starter kit of Setup for piping design Important to ready before Concerning Piping Setup we we are going to distinguish : 2 group of data : Setup Resources : Standard, Material Specifications + design rules definition Components : 2D Symbol, 3D Parts (that can be organized in catalogs or libraries) 2 profiles : 2D Schematic and 3D design It is important to know that Piping 2D Schematic and Piping 3D are sharing some common Setup Resources (like Nominalsize list table, ...)
Tubing Hydraulic 3D Starter Kit sample
3D Design Presentation 2026x Dassault Systemes sample Starterkit for Tubing hydraulic 3D Design, cover limited number design rules, spec and Tubing Parts. The idea of this Resource Set is to have a light setup that can be imported on Cloud with no limitation (47k objects maximum can be imported on Cloud) easily used for any Tubing Hydraulic Demonstration. used as reference (with good component definition practice) for customer implementationsee here for more details about component definition
CATIA or SpaceClaim
Hi guys! I had a meeting with my company (General Physics Corporation https://www.generalphysicscorp.com) and two Dassault representatives. I have them in my contact list and on my phone however I cannot recall their names at the moment. We do a lot of work in advanced manufacturing and fusion science and CATIA is the go to for design work. We want to add AI, MCP, PINN and simulation macros to CATIA to develop rigorous back panel work with the system. I don't understand the contrarian attitude
CATIA Trick..
Hello While reviewing old macros, I found one that allows me to do things like this... a little trick.
CATIA V5 + Derived Format Converter
Hello, Is it possible to generate an stp.file from an CATProduct when i change the status from "In Work" to "Completed" via Derived Format Converter (Derived Format Management)?
