Thank you so much for your lecture. It gave me a lot of understanding about Non-Linear funtionalities. Could I get model files that were used in your video?
Here you- we have saved them to this Dropbox Folder for you. www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ikx7mpofnp1ve918qsgdw/AOcgLRu_vE8fph4-sXHv3uw?rlkey=v9qaijfyoe7aqijwqjacdxsjw&dl=0
This is great but the caveat is that CATIA V5 recognizes the data to be in metric unites (so, if your model is set to inches, you have to multiply your numbers by 25.4 to get English units before running). Is there a setting that one can select to correct that?
Among all the functions in Catia ,this is one of the worst. You change a reference, do your exploded view again boy... You want to explode the 3d with the proper, the parts go everywere over the screen...You cannot define an axis for the exploded view. It's a mess.
Thank you so much! I saw the function "Reset Position" in the CATIA Doc. Couldnt find it, i thought i was going crazy. You showed it belonged to the environment "Digital Mockup" --> "DMU Navigator"
While you can create sections and groups as shown in the last 60 seconds of this demo that work similarly to a fly-out, I haven't been able to find a way to create my own fly-outs. I even tried copying an existing fly-out and editing it to my own commands, but that didn't work. Sorry!
Yes, it is possible if I understand your question correctly. I will try to talk you through the steps, but I recommend you look up the ability to "Overload Properties" as they work basically the same in Catia V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE so any information on either will help. 1. After creating the drawing view that has all the exploded parts plus the one you don't want shown, right-click on the view in the tree and select *object>Overload Properties. * represents the view's name. 2. Select the part on the drawing display that you want to change in this case the handle. Its name will appear in the list of Newly Selected Elements in the Overload Properties window. 3. Select the icon to the right of the listed Part that represents "Click to activate the Unuse Property" it is the 4th one for me, and the names will appear when you hover your cursor over them. That will remove the part from the drawing view, but it will still exist in the Assembly and in the slides that originally had them. Hope this helps. Mark
Thank you for the trouble shooting tutorial. I am confident there are many improvements over the old "DMU Kinematics" workbench in Catia v5. However, this is at the cost of a steep learning curve for the new offering. Rand 3D has developed tutorials for some very basic (simpler) mechanisms and that is great. Need some more please.
Hello Mark, great content and thank you. I am trying to simulate a magnetic mover (xbot) over an induction table (tech used for moving the assembly parts in production) - the "planar motor inc" product. Using excitation recorder seems like best way to create movements scenario for simulation. My problem is that i need this "xbot" to move to planned location and then stop there for some time (so other robot can make operation on part that xbot carries). I cant figure out how to make a planned travel time and define waiting times for each station, so my simulation can show those movements and stops in real time, not so fast as I can see your simulation also acts. In other words, how to slow it down to predefined moving time? Greetings, Lovro
Goog job. Question, any time frame on how long the menus/icons and stuff related to them will remain as is, and not changed till the next release (in a few months)?
Hi! We really have no way of knowing. Some commands/icons may stay the same for years, while others could change next release. Most don't change that often, but it does happen. Our instructors find out about them when the new release is published.
Hi - Our Technical Trainer, Trisha, covers how to create a basic manikin in the intro of the following tutorial (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NkCZH-sJNdA.html). Please keep in mind that you will need the HBR license to have access to manikin creation, and that you must be active within a product file. If you are wanting to create your own customized manikin form, see the following blog post. resources.rand3d.com/catia-tips/creating-specialized-human-forms-in-catia-v5
Thanks for you comment. Yes, you could certainly use radians all the way, but I find degrees to be better understood by engineers, and also degrees are the default unit for the parameters of type Angle in CATIA. The main reason why I used a mix of deg and rad was because the SIN function requires radians as input. Then converted the result back to deg, after evaluating the Law. Hope that helps.
Hello sir. thank you for this such useful video. I have a question. in the last part when you wrote the function you used 'rad' as unit in sin . then in formula window you used '*1deg' as the unit. Doesn't it make any problem? Isn't that better to use same unit?
Hi Sir. that's great!. do you mind doing a tutorial video about parts manipulation in assembly design especially free manipulation which certain cad software out there limited to. 😊 thx
