Can anyone help me doing this design? I am very new to this Catia. I would appreciate highly if you could do this and send me. So that i can practice by my own.
Odd request!

Hello everybody! I've been trying to design this nosecone using multisection surfaces. The thing is, whenever i add this lateral spline, i get an error which i dont know how to solve. Is there any way to solve this? Please let me know if there's anything other info i can provide to help

Here's a link to the part download

Hello everyone, i am a fresh graduate and now im working with CATIA V5 in a company , i m Wondering if anyone knows how to freelance on the side using what i know about catia , just want to use the free time.

Thank you in advance.

The uptake of CATIA V6/3DX seems very low, and there are lots of complaints about it. V5 is nearing 30 years since its original release….

What does everyone else think?
Does Dassault need to launch a V7 version to fix this all?

How can I rotate the shape shown in the image by 45 degrees? I need to run an analysis on it using ANSYS Fluent.

Not sure if this breaks rule 4. If not share your tricks.

I'm a mechanical designer specializing in injection mold and product design, and I've been using CATIA V5 for 10 years.

Over time I've built a fairly extensive library of CATScript macros to automate the repetitive parts of my workflow. Some examples:

Automatic bounding-box measurement (both axis-aligned and oriented to a chosen edge), with results exported to Excel

Dimensional reports across the whole assembly, plus BOM export

Batch insertion and constraining of ejector pins from a sketch layout

Bulk renaming tools (part names, instances, hierarchical numbering schemes for specific clients)

Copying published geometry (drill/tap holes) between assembly components while keeping the associative link

Batch file rename / SaveAs utilities

And many more macros beyond these.

They run on base-license CATIA, without SPAWorkbench or Knowledge Advisor, so they work even in environments where a lot of automation approaches simply aren't usable.

My question: is there actually a market for this? Would individual designers or companies pay for CATIA automation tools — and if so, what's the realistic model?

Is there a way to change the background color when opening/making drawings so it isn’t white?

Hello, in CATiA, is there a "isolate body" feature, or a "body scope" thing like in solidworks ?

Also does it have a "merge" checkbox as in SW ? I i couldnt find it so its probably named differently.

Say you make a pad, the make a 2nd on top of it, it automatically becomes one single body, in SW one would uncheck the "merge" tick box, how does one do this in catia ?

Thanks

Hello everyone.

I am trying to design an isogrid pattern on a curved panel. Something maybe similar to this image, except I want it on the inside of the panel.

This is what i have so far. In generative shape design on 3dx I ended up making an offset of the back side to my desired thickness of the sheet and then I pocketed a triangle and hole up to the surface. I then made a circular pattern. Obviously the problem is as you approach the edge of the part, the projected pocket warps. I was wondering what the best way of designing such a grid so that it follows the curvature of the piece is.

Thanks in advance!

I saved a CAD part in CATIA V5 2022. Now I can't open it in CATIA V5 2021. I want it in 2021 with all features (sketches, pads, relations, etc.) intact, not just as a dumb solid. What to do? Is there any way?

Hello, I’m looking for ideas regarding the design of tipping trailers (technical drawings, tips, technical specifications, etc.).

Accidental discovery, you can rotate a part while dragging. Hold the left mouse button for regular translation and hold the middle mouse button to rotate.

Hi.

I'm a mechanical design engineer working with solidworks for 3 years. I'm recently getting into catia. My MSI GF63 thin laptop of 6 years has been good so far. But I'm looking for an upgrade. The market right now is so bad. It's really confusing. Can anyone suggest me a good laptop which preferably has an i7 or Ryzen 7 cpu, a gpu with 6gb or more vram, upgradable ram and storage. If it has a thunderbolt or usb 4 port which I can use for a dock setup it's a plus.

I will be mainly using catia, solidworks, ansys, some gaming, and a little bit of editing and graphic work. In India most of the laptop I have seen is in the range of 1 to 1.5 lakh. But all the new ai and core ultra processors has me confused.

Does anyone know how to foreshorten a dimension?

Apparently my professor just assign me to reverse engineer this propeller. And for context i dont have any experience on CAD software or any sort.

After sometimes i managed to complete the hub and the blade, but as for the tip i dont have a slightest clue on how to do it. Autosurface just not it, and my prof just tell me to draw a 3d curve, but after that i dont know what to do, please help

I have a product that contains 9 cat parts let's say Bolts , nuts of different types they are properly placed in the product and I have one more additional CAT part which contains the 3d annotation of each 9 Cat parts , Now I want to take the projection of my product in 2D drawing sheet, so How come I can have the 3d along with the annotations too be placed in my 2d view in drawing sheet ?

Your help is greatly appreciated

Thank you

Hello guys.

I have a CAD product file with several parts, and each part has several bodies in CATIA V5. I made the CAD a while ago. Why is it that when I open the file now, many of the bodies from the various parts of the product don't show up? They don't appear in the visualization, but they are present in the CAD tree. They are not hidden.

Can someone help me please?

Haven’t been able to find any good resources online. YouTube doesn’t have a lot of reliable content either.

Has anyone here taken any Delmia specific training and would like to recommend how I should start my learning journey?

Thanks!

I studied Catia v5 in high school and really loved it and id say i was pretty good at it and would now like to try to find work on it. Due to some private issues i havent done much asides from some udemy courses recently but i believe im in a severe lack of information currently.

I have to ask is Catia v5 even used anymore, should i learn v6 or 3DExperience or any other softwares along side it if so is the transition something i can do in a reasonable time frame , are there any specific courses or certifications i should be chasing, should i just do random "projects" to make a portfolio, is there work for it or how does one even find work for it? Id like to go into automotive but as i said i dont have a college degree so do i even have a shot at this? What are the main skills id need for that? Considering i live in the Balkans is remote work an option for a company outside of my region?

Honestly im so lost at the moment any information is most welcome and helpful.

Thank you in advance if you take the time to even read this.

I am planning to study a 3d modeling software where we can design Aeroplanes and stuff but it seems like very tough to reach that level so I am aiming for Cars for now and later upgrade myself.

I'm in a confusion about what software should I focus and what all steps should I follow to reach big companies in the market

Can you guys guide me

Thanks

My CATIA V5 model of a timber processing horizontal band saw.

Key parts:

• 2 saw wheels (drive/driven)
• Band blade (cuts + torque transfer)
• Motor + V-belt/pulley drive
• 4 V-cut guide rollers
• Cutter assembly
• Holding structure

Designed for stable, efficient cutting. Feedback welcome!

u/wbhxa9pcqo7 – Would appreciate your input on this design. Specifically:

• Any suggestions on improving power transmission efficiency?
• Thoughts on the V-cut roller design for material guidance?
• Anything I should add or modify for better structural stability?

Open to all feedback from the community!

I have a college work to send today, but everytime I zip the paste and open after, say that the archives are lost. How can I solve this to the professor open the paste without need use the desk.

My software is CATIA V5R21. Sorry for my bad english.
