As we are heading into the second half of the year, it’s a great time to have a look at some of the important CATIA Best Practices. This list contains the most viewed and downloaded CATIA Best Practices that have been published in our Knowledge Base.
1. 3DEXPERIENCE R2020x CATSettings- Use and Recommendations
In 3DEXPERIENCE, customizations and interactions performed by the user are stored and remembered in the form of settings called the CATSettings. 3DEXPERIENCE fetches required information from its settings, which makes it convenient to use.
This Best Practices document provides information regarding different types of settings and its use, how the CATSettings get generated and where they get stored, how to import and export settings and Compatibility of settings.
The target audience for this Best Practices document is Administrators and users of 3DEXPERIENCE platform R2020x.
2. Enterprise knowledge Language(EKL) – Overview and Usage
This document provides an overview of main concepts about the EKL, EKL Capabilities, various functions and tools that are required to work with EKL, and troubleshooting EKL Code. The objective is to help users get a better understanding about the EKL. This document also provides some sample examples about using various types of EKL functions that will help the users to get started with EKL.
The target audience for this Best Practices document is Designers and Administrators who are looking for information about Enterprise Knowledge Language (EKL).
3. Getting Started with Automation for 3DEXPERIENCE R2020x
This document covers the VBA, VSTA, CATScript Basics, end-to-end scenarios, best coding practices, troubleshooting, and debugging on 3DEXPERIENCE R2020x platform.
The Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers an openness to support automation. Users can use a scripting language to access CAA Automation objects to capture their own know-how and to increase the productivity. Users can customize applications to automate repetitive tasks and to make it fit to their own process.
The target audience for this Best Practice are the users who want to learn automation and customers who are associated with Automation development.
4. Getting Started with Business Logic
This document provides an overview of Customization in 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, Customization using Business Rules, Set of dedicated EKL (Enterprise Knowledge Language) API's, Business Rules Development tools, Step by Step case Study with traces collection mechanism and troubleshooting section
This document is intended for people who are discovering customization by using Business Rules in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, such as Administrator, Tech Support Engineers, customers/partners, and Field Engineers.
5. Work Offline Command - Use and Recommendations
3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a capability called ‘Work Offline’ that enables designers to work with 3DEXPERIENCE platform even when they are off the network. However, this does not compromise the design data security and maintains the data integrity too.
This best practice provides detailed description of the ‘Work Offline’ functionality with required recommendations.
The target audience for this Best Practice is 3DEXPERIENCE Administrators and Designers.
6. Concurrent Engineering with 3DEXPERIENCE
This document demonstrates the concurrent engineering capability of 3DEXPERIENCE with the help of different use cases. The first section of this document covers use of different commands available in Collaborative Lifecycle App, whereas second section demonstrates actual application of these commands with the help of Use cases.
The target audience for this best practice is Designers and Administrators of 3DEXPERIENCE, ENOVIA, and CATIA.
7. CAA Widget Apps Development
The objective of this Best Practice document is to provide an overview of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the development environment, and the Dassault Systèmes Openness APIs to display and retrieve data interactions with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
This document is for beginners, consultants, developers, and designers who are new to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and want to discover widget development management
8. CATIA V5 SETTINGS - Use & Recommendations
In CATIA V5, customizations & interactions performed by the user is stored and remembered in the form of Settings called CATSettings. CATIA basically fetches required information from its settings, which makes it convenient to use.
This paper covers the information regarding Different types of CATIA Settings & its use, How it gets generated & where they get stored, How to import and export CATIA Setting, Compatibility of CATIA settings along with certain Recommendations.
This paper is intended for Administrators and users of CATIA.
9. 3DEXPERIENCE On-Premises Native Apps Advanced Admin Tips and Techniques
This Best Practices document covers some advanced tips and techniques that make your 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Administration more efficient in your on-premises
environment. These techniques help simplify and eliminate some of the time consuming installation and customization tasks thereby increasing the administrators overall efficiency.
This document is for administrators who want to understand the concepts that are beyond the basic tasks and can help with the maintenance of their installations.
10. LINKS MANAGEMENT IN 3D EXPERIENCE- Design / Engineering Applications
Management of Links and Relations is important in understanding the relation between the components under a Tree Structure; how they are dependent on each other and what impact could a change in one entity have on the other.
This paper covers the concept of Link Foundation, commonly experienced Relations in Design/Engineering Applications and the management of the Links and Relations. The goal is to provide a consolidated document to help users in identifying the Relations generated and in effectively managing them.
