To launch the TRACEPARTS Web from CATIA, click on the Icon:

This will open thee web page with list of companies' logos.
To find the component that you are looking for select the main filter or the starting letter of your desired category.
You can also skip it and scroll down until you find the company that you need.
When finally you find the page and select it, then click on the family you want and choose the references.

Under CAD models tab you can select CATIA V5 as your tool and then approve it.

This following document explains how to use the new Web TRACEPARTS (2021). Please check it to understand more how it works.

Stickers are reusable drafting components that contain 2D geometries and text.

To add a sticker, follow these steps:

1. Click in the catalogue icon.
2. In the window that appears choose "Drawing Stickers".
3. Select the category.
4. Insert this with double click in the stickers and click in the drawing sheet.
5. Choose the option expose in order to break the link to the original.
6. Click the drawing sheet + in OK for putting the copy of the sticker in a secondary sheet.
7. Close the catalogue window.

For more, please check the link which is below.

All the Standard/Catalog Components are grouped in one place: the SmarTeam Catalog.

You can find it from CATIA:

And also from SmarTeam:

In the case you can't find what you need here, please check the document below with other possibilities.

It's also possible to add your own CATPart/CATProduct as Standard/Catalog Component.
To do this, you have to contact the catalog manager (catia-catalogs@cern.ch).

To get the mass in a CATPart it’s important to put the material in the correct place in the document. The correct place to put the material is in the Part (and NOT in the PartBody). It’s important to follow this rule since the material in SmarTeam profile card will be taken from the part properties. If you put the material in the PartBody, SmarTeam will not show any material in the profile card.

In the link below you can find procedures step by step how to do it.

 Material and mass in a part

It was decided by the "Metals Raw Materials" working group to use EDMS documents as material reference to define completely the special St. Steel materials. By this way CERN will have a unique reference that will be used by the designers and by the purchasing department.

If you want to know what happen after the change will be done, there are two cases which are described in the link below.

From October 2014, the St. Steel materials change the name in CATIA and SmarTeam. You can also find the list of changes in this document.

 New material names

A catalog 3D model is a 3D model of a commercial component, and/or a normalized element, or a usual element widely used at CERN.

There are four ways to get 3D models.

1. From an existing template.
2. From a downloaded STEP file.
3. From zero.
4. From a downloaded macro.

Here is a guideline to help you in the creation process ➞ catia-catalogs@cern.ch.
