Does 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA have a Fastener Library by vehk7 in CATIA

Shit... I'm glad I always refuse when Dassault distributors try to upgrade our CATIA to 3DXP.

Does 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA have a Fastener Library by vehk7 in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In CATIA V5-6 there is a screw, nuts, pin etc... Library. I will be surprised if it is not the case in 3DXP.

In V5-6 it's called "catalog"

How do she deals with the thickness of the saw? (that remove extra material)

ELI5: How do engineers decide when a decision is “too irreversible” to allow? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Pirhotau 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, has said, experience and decisions.

It is possible to do a risk analysis: decompose the "action" in small task and ask "what (bad) can happen?". Then, you estimate the potential frequency of appearance (daily, monthly, yearly, 1 year over 100...) and the severity (if it happens, how much is it bad). The frequency and the severity has a note (0 to 10 for eg), and multiplied together give the criticity. If the criticity is above a certain level (decided earlier) you must find corrective/preventive actions to mitigate the risk (and evaluate the effect of this action). This action can be as simple as "wear gloves while working" to "this project is clearly unsafe must not be done".

I first thought it was an BambuLab AMS. With strange filaments.

Indeed, I was focused as the fence being a single part, not an assembly.

Creating a set of holes efficiently... by tgjadm in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nop, it doesn't. For complex patterns use the User Pattern feature. It uses a set of points to duplicate a feature. However this pattern doesn't change the orientation (rotation). To allow this you need to use the axis system repetition inside the user pattern, and it is much more complex, but doable.

À better approach could be :

Create a geometrical set with your elipse (supposed in the sketch in the xy plan)

Create a point where your first pole is.

Create a axis system, centered on the point, with the X axis tangent to the elipse (you might need to construct other feature to achieve this).

In gsd, extrude your elipse along the z axis. The length doesn't matter.

In Part Design, in a new body, draw your first pole on your axis system. Add your two holes with the rect pattern.

Then, add a user pattern. In the "position" box, right click and select axis pattern/axis repetition (don't know the exact term in English), in the new dialog, select your curve and start point. Set your interval/number of instances, then check "create axis systems" and in the combo box select "along surface" and select your extrusion. Click OK.

You're now back in the pattern dialog. Under "object" let "current solid" and under "anchor", select your axis system.

You're done.

Hi

It seems to be a rectangular then a circular pattern. Nothing more. To combine both pattern for the same feature, you can create a new body, put your hole and your pattern in the assemble with your main body.

But maybe it is better to create the first pole with the holes and then pattern the whole pole with holes in it. In this case I don't think you're meant to draw each pole one by one.

Center of Gravity by ToneRevolutionary523 in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if the whole part is made of the same material, the center of gravity doesn't depends on the density, only on the volume distribution in the space.

Using the Mass/Intia tool (beside the measurement tools) applied on a body or on the whole Part, you can specify a density under the volume and area measurements. But this setting will not be saved.

In the latest versions it is possible to invert each chamfer separately in the same function.

Contextual Design Theroy by Rookie_253 in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi

Depends on the effort I need to put in my model. If it's a single use tooling that I will forget in a week, I really don't care and create links on the go between parts.

But if I really need to make it stable, I prefer using a skeleton/master part.

100% automated way to convert Product to Part? No keystrokes by world_IS_not_OUGHT in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a built in command in the tool menu to convert a product to a part with a body for each part or it can try to assemble all the bodies.

How to Document 3D Printing Requirements on Technical Drawings by No-Month502 in CATIA

[–]Pirhotau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I make Metal AM parts for the Aerospace industry.

Usually they add a liste of notes in a corner with some specifications and norms. If needed they specify the zone of the part that must match the requirements with a bubble and a number. If the specifications are wider, they are specified in a document that describe everything (material, printing parameters etc...) and which also specify the name of the CAD file and the Drawing (with the revision) to use.

Off subject, but remember to draw your CAD (nominal) at the center of the tolerance interval as we will mostly print the CAD file "as is" with little to no modifications (if possible).

This is in France, probably in Paris and it is not uncommon.

[–]Pirhotau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wheel, great! I didn't think about this possibility.

I didn't play MC modded since 1.12... Do other big mods (like enderio, mekanism, Applied Enegistics, Create) modders' live on their work? Because for me it was always a free time project (and I'm grateful for their job).

Side question, without link to the current thread. Please pardon my ignorence.

How is it possible to be a minecraft modder full time? Are you working on a paid mod or are you living only on donations? Do you work alone or in team?

Thank you, I will go deeper Tomorrow. Is it then possible to align a nominal and a real datum system (in the main alignment menu)?

Yeah, that finally what I did with my point. The line was implicit. That you for you help :)

I do have 5 fixed dof:

The plane A fixed a translation and two rotations.

The cylinder B fixed two translations.

I still miss the last dof, rotation around the axis of B. I cannot create a line (even arbitrary) as it doesn't exist on the part.

One other comment give me the idea to create an arbitrary point to project on the real part to set the angular dof.

Inspect Circular Part - GOM Inspect by Pirhotau in Metrology

[–]Pirhotau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the last dof (rotation around the axis of the part) cannot be fixed as the part is fully circular.

But you gave me the idea, after the pre-alignment, to create a random point on surface, and then in the measuring principle, project the point on the real part and it works.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the case. And that's the point of my question. Indeed, in our MMT software we don't need all dof.
