Sketching with the Profile icon

By catia programmer

1. Starting at the bottom left corner of the part.

2. Select the Profile icon from the right menu bar.

3. Sketch the vertical 1.50 inch line that defines the left edge of the part.

4. Now sketch the first arc along the top of the part. To do this hold down
the left mouse button and drag it in the direction you want the arc to go
then release the mouse button. The arc will appear and allow you to drag
and place it where you want. Place it on the grid intersection 2 inches
above the bottom of the part and a half-inch to the right. This will only
create half of the arc needed, so the process will have to be repeated to
sketch the other half of the arc.

5. Finish sketching the rest of the part. When you reach the inside .25 radius,
just repeat Step 4.

6. When the sketch is done constrain it to double check that all the
dimensions match the part shown above. Make the necessary changes if
needed.

 

Cad Application Software

By catia programmer

Cad application software is the software that allows the user to design the product.It allows the user to give commands to do the geometric modelling to interact with the database and to display the cad model.Allows the user to generate plot files and to store data for later use.
In workstations usually a copy of the Cad software is loaded on to each system.

Powerful application software are available for

  1. Design and analysis of components
  2. Finite element analysis
  3. Drafting

 

Cad Cam system

Defining-the-Bend-Allowance

By catia programmer

http://www.setmech.com

This section explains the calculations related to folding/unfolding operations.
When a bend is unfolded, the sheet metal deformation is represented by the
bend allowance V defined by the formula:
L = A + B + V


where:
L is the total unfolded length
A and B the dimensioning lengths as defined on the figures below:

 

Bend-Allowance (2)

By catia programmer

Another way to compute the sheet metal deformation is the neutral fiber
definition (K Factor):
W = a * (R + k * T)
where:
W is the flat bend width
R the inner bend radius
T the sheet metal thickness
a the inner bend angle in radians.
If b is the opening bend angle in degrees:
a = p * (180 - b) / 180
Physically, the neutral fiber represents the limit between the material
compressed area inside the bend and the extended area outside the bend.
Ideally, it is represented by an arc located inside the thickness and centered
on the bend axis. Therefore the K Factor always has a value between 0 and
0.5.

 

Bend Allowance

By catia programmer

Continued....
When you define the sheet metal parameters, a literal feature defines the
default K Factor, according to the DIN standard:
K = (0.65 + log(R / T) / 2) / 2
This formula can be deactivated or modified using Knowledge Advisor
workbench.
When a bend is created, the bend K Factor and the bend allowance literals
are created.
Two cases may then occur:
If the Sheet Metal K Factor has an activated formula and uses the
default bend radius as input parameter, the same formula is activated
on the bend K Factor with the bend radius as input.
Else the bend K Factor is a formula equal to the Sheet Metal K Factor.
The bend allowance literal is equal to a formula representing the use of the
bend K Factor. This formula is fairly complex and it is strongly recommended
not to delete it.
V = a * (R + k * T) – 2 * (R + T) * tan ( min(p/2,a) / 2)
Though it is possible to deactivate the formula to enter a fixed value.
Finally, the bend flat width is computed from the bend allowance value.

 

Specify A Working Plane

By catia programmer



The next step is to create a two-dimensional profile of the part. The Sketcher Work
Bench is a two-dimensional (planar) work area. To use the Sketcher Work Bench,
you must specify which Plane the profile is to be created on. Specifying the Plane
can be done several different ways.
3.1 Select (highlight) the desired Plane from the graphical representation in
the center of the screen as shown in Figure 1.5. Notice, as a particular
Plane is selected, the equivalent Plane in the Specification Tree is
highlighted. If the Specification Tree isn’t showing the branches with the
Plane, it will need to be expanded. To do this, select the Plus symbol
to the left of the Specification Tree or double click on the branch you
want expanded.
3.2 The step described above can be reversed. Select the Plane in the
Specification Tree and the coordinating plane in the center of the screen
will also be highlighted.
3.3 Other Planes, surfaces and/or other planner objects can also be selected to
define the Sketcher Plane. This option will be covered in more detail
later in the book.

 

Start CATIA V5

By catia programmer


From the NT Desktop, double click on the CATIA V5R5 icon. Be patient, it may
take a few moments to bring up the CATIA V5 start logo and the actual CATIA V5
working window. Figure 1.3 shows what the screen should look like.
If you are not able to finish all of the steps in this lesson in one session, you can jump
to Step 23, which covers saving and exiting CATIA V5. This will allow you to save
your work for your next session

2 Select The Sketcher Work Bench.
Every time you start CATIA V5, the CATIA V5 screen will appear as it does in
Figure 1.3. The “Welcome to CATIA V5” pop-up window will prompt you to select
a work bench. The default work bench is Product Structure. For this lesson, you
will need to select the Sketcher Work Bench. Notice, as you select the Sketcher
Work Bench that the tool bars on the right hand of your screen change and the
“Welcome to CATIA V5” pop-up window disappears.

Modifying the Bend Extremities

By catia programmer



This section explains how to change the bend extremities.
Click the Parameters icon .
The Sheet Metal Parameters dialog box is displayed.
The second tab concerns the bend extremities.
A combo box displays the six possible axial relimitations for the straight bend:
Minimum with no relief: the
bend corresponds to the
common area of the
supporting walls along the
bend axis.
Square relief: a square relief
is added to the bend
extremity. The L1 and L2
parameters can be modified
if need be.
Round relief: a round relief
is added to the bend
extremity. The L1 and L2
parameters can be modified
if need be.
Linear: the unfolded bend is
split by two planes going
through the corresponding
limit points (obtained by
projection of the bend axis
onto the edges of the
supporting walls).
Tangent: the edges of the
bend are tangent to the
edges of the supporting
walls.
Maximum: the bend is
calculated between the
furthest opposite edges of
the supporting walls.

FEM (Basic Concept)

By catia programmer

The Finite element method (FEM) , Or finite element analysis (FEA),is based on the idea of building a complicated object with simple blocks, or, dividing a complicated object into small and manageable pieces.Since the actual problem is replaced with a simple one in finding the solution , we will able to find an approximate solution than the exact solution.The existing mathematical tools will not be sufficient to find the exact solution for most of the practical problems.
Thus in the absence of any other convenient method to find even the approximate solution of a given problem , we have to prefer the finite element method.Using this method , it is even possible to improve or refine the approximate solution by using computers of higher processing capabilities.

Product structure

By catia programmer

  1. Inserting component
  2. Inserting part
  3. Unload/load components
  4. Replacing components

A component is the general terminology.It can be a part or an assembly (inside an assembly it is called a sub-assembly)

Parts and assemblies have a Part Number (the Name of the component).

All instances of a part or assembly have the same part number .Each instance can have it's own instance Name that identifies the instance.
