Split Synchronization |
To use this command:
|
Split with Surface Reduction |
Please note:
|
Adapting the Geometrical Parameters of a Component |
This capability is enhanced : it is
available now for the insertion of several "single instances" of the same
component at the same time:
The External Reference Component dialog box will be activated once for each component. |
Insertion of Components |
To make the synchronization of the color of
the holes generated by the insertion of component effective, proceed as
follows BEFORE the insertion of the component:
|
Constraints created while inserting Components |
Tooling constraints are pre defined by the choice of working mode. In planar mode :
In point mode :
Important: In point mode, the order of selection defines the type of constraint:
|
Add new instance command |
A component containing external references must be single instance (see Adapting the Geometrical Parameters of a Component above). As a consequence, adding new instances is not allowed for this type of component. |
Replace Plate |
Constraints will be kept only if planes, points,... have been published. In automatic update mode, the reconnection to external references may fail (the dialog box is not available). This may occur because of previous splits. Bypass: switch to manual update mode. If the dimensions of the replacing plate are defined by a design table, this design table must contain a column named Ref and a column named RefMold. Otherwise a warning message is displayed informing that an internal error occurs. Do not take the message "Impossible to synchronize" into account. |
Insertion, addition, replacement of Tooling components |
During the insertion, addition or replacement of Tooling components, a new component reference may be created. In this case, it receives a part number which is given by the application. The suffix of this part number is a number intended to ensure part number uniqueness in the session: this way the user is relieved of the responsibility of part number uniqueness and the creation of a new reference is transparent. This suffix cannot be controlled by the user and it cannot be assumed that it will have a given starting point or an increasing order. |
Component Catalogs |
CATIA offers catalogs corresponding to those of
external components suppliers. However:
Please note: if the unit of the CATIA session differs from the unit used to create the Design table of a component, the component reference in the BOM may be incorrect (because of values read in the inappropriate unit). Example, Misumi/EjectorPin/ C-EHSF have been created in mm.
|
Component Catalogs - What's new |
LKM Catalogs have been added (main Mold Bases and Components). Misumi and Futaba catalogs have been enhanced with a large number of components. |
Structure of Components Catalogs |
The structure of some catalogs has
changed, so the number of steps to reach the final component may have
changed too. In each CATPart that represents a component, there is a parameter named SupplierRef that provides the version of the catalog and the name of the supplier. |
Components and CATDUA |
A component belonging to component catalog of the Mold Tooling Design
workbench is guaranteed CATDUA error free at the time of its creation. However, since CATDUA deals with an increasingly larger and more precise range of errors, you may have to clean a component created in a previous release. To do so, start File > Desk > CATDUA in a V5 session. |
Tooling Part Interface Management |
We recommend that you create a constraint of type "fix" on tooling product and part interfaces. |
Using a Norm Other than ISO 965-2 |
If you need to use a norm other than ISO 965-2, please refer to Reusing Values Already Defined in a File in Creating Threads and Taps in the Part Design User's Guide. |
