How to move a part while preserving the same coordinates system?
How to move a part while preserving the same coordinates system? Sometimes there are some Parts that, because of migration or change of orientation/position, don’t have their coordinate system where desired. In the document below, there are two options that you can follow to do it. Moving a part See also: How to move an

How to build parametric models?
How to build parametric models? Parametric modeling aims to make “intelligent” models, which are directly driven by specifications, and which integrate the various knowledge around a project. The link below will present the methodology and the basic tools and rules to follow in order to build parametric models or parts in the CATIA V5 environment.

How to avoid contextual links?
How to avoid contextual links? It exists many types of links between CATIA documents. Among them, one is called contextual link, meaning that it exists a link between two parts in the context of a product. In some cases, this link can be replaced by a CCP link, that leads to the same result, without

How to import models from foreign CAD formats?
How to import models from foreign CAD formats? By default, it is practicable to import Pro-E files into Catia V5 (.prt for parts, .asm for an assembly). The document below shows how to allow the conversion of native PRO-E components into a modifiable and editable CV5 format. This method can also be used for other

How to check the quality of a CATIA document using the Q-Checker tool?
How to check the quality of a CATIA document using the Q-Checker tool? Q-Checker is a tool that checks the quality of a CATIA document. It will be automatically installed via CMF in all the PCs in the CATIA group. If the tool is installed, in all the CATIA workbenches will appear this icon which

How to use Features Recognition Tool?
How to use Features Recognition Tool? When it is needed to work on a dead body model, you may be required to remove a certain feature, or simply edit it. To get to this, the feature recognition functions built into CATIA allow adding them their construction history, from which you shall be able to edit

How to get the material and the mass in the parts?
How to get the material and the mass in the parts? 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

How to proceed with the change of material naming in CATIA?
How to proceed with the change of material naming in CATIA? 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
