3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is full of jewels: When designing a Product, using Relational Design allows to easily design Parts inside the context of a Product by creating, if needed, associative links between Parts taking into account Parts instances positions. When designing a Product, using Skeleton (sometimes called Top Down approach)approach allows to distribute design specifications associatively through the Product Structure, and then provide a clear way to create structured, easy to understand and reusable Products.
If you’re interested by an overview of these methodologies please join me on Friday the 4th of February at 3:30pm CET (Paris time). As usually, I will be happy to answer your questions live.
