Using a sketch of points is very convenient to precisely locate mechanical components into an assembly. With Smart Mechanical Components application you may use a sketch of points to place mechanical components instances
Process:
- Create a Component Specifications selection pattern on sketch of points
- Define a sketch of points as input of a Component Specifications Pattern
- An axis system will be automatically created for each point in the sketch
- Pattern is associative to sketch design change via update
- When placing components on a Component Specifications pattern ( curve, sketch of points, selection, linear) a new option allows to create an Assembly Pattern to place multiple components instance
- in case of modification of the component specification pattern (add or delete a point into the sketch) the assembly pattern will update accordingly
Benefits
- Precise component placement taking benefit of the CATIA Sketcher
- Generative component placement solution from the geometric features to the assembly structure: add a point in the sketcher, a new component instance is placed
