To be up to date with some fundamental functionalities' evolution in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE, its latest update includes some improvements in Assembly Design, related to Engineering Connection creation.

As a quick reminder, an Engineering Connection is made of a set of assembly constraints between components (such as Product, 3D Part or 3D Shape).

The interface has evolved and the screen for creating Engineering Connections shows a table of usable Assembly Constraints combinations, guiding the user when creating any given Engineering Connection.

Once an Engineering Connection type is selected, Prismatic in the example below, a table shows the user the combinations of assembly constraints he/she can use to define the Engineering Connection. In each line, ie for each assembly constraint, the mix of functional geometries that can be selected to define each assembly constraint is presented as a definition guide. The list of assembly constraints can be edited in the Engineering connection Window.

To understand these changes and practice on the topic, you can check out the Learning Path “Perform as a Mechanical Designer” for 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x.
You can find it in Academics 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer Library > Learning Experience for Mechanical Designer > Perform as a Mechanical Designer.
You can click on the image below to open the course or search for Perform as a Mechanical Designer on eduspace.3ds.com.

Look at the module “Practice CATIA Assembly Design > Video: Creating and Managing Products” in the course, which addresses the topic of Assembly Design with the enhancements.
