Introduction to Part DesignYou will become familiar with the CATIA V5 Part Design main features5

What is Part Design?The Version 5 Part Design application makes it possible to design precise 3D mechanical parts withan intuitive and flexible user interface, from sketching in an assembly context to iterative detaileddesign. Version 5 Part Design application will enable you to accommodate design requirements forparts of various complexities, from simple to advanced.This new application, which combines the power of feature-based design with the flexibility of aBoolean approach, offers a highly productive and intuitive design environment with multiple designmethodologies, such as post-design and local 3D parameterization.As a scalable product, Part Design can be used in cooperation with other current or futurecompanion products such as Assembly Design and Generative Drafting. The widest applicationportfolio in the industry is also accessible through interoperability with CATIA Solutions Version 4 toenable support of the full product development process from initial concept to product in operation.6

Part Design Terminology A Part is a combination of one or more features,and bodies The first feature is generated from a sketch(profile), by extrusion or revolution Features are components based on sketches(sketch-based) or on existing features (dress-upand transformation). They can also be generatedfrom surfaces (surface-based) A body is a set of features that can be assembledto a part through Boolean operations (Assemble,remove, .)10

Limiting FeaturesYou will learn the different ways to limit featuresUp-to-last LimitUp-to-next Limit55

Why Different Types of Limits ? You can specify dimensions to limit a feature You can also limit features onto existing elements. In this case,associativity will propagate design changesTo capture the design intent Using "Up to Last" to extrude a pad maintains the configurationeven with the insertion of a new feature (see example below)Up to Last56

Limiting Features.Different types of limit Dimension type: you specify the dimensions (ex: 25 mm) Mirrored Extent: Mirrors the feature about it's profile.LIM2LIM1Up to PlaneUses a plane or face tolimit featureUp to NextUp to LastUses the next encounteredmaterial to limit featureUses the last encounteredmaterial to limit featureUp to SurfaceUses a surface to limit feature57

Additional Information (1/2)Limiting Holes & PocketsSpecial case Whatever hole you choose, you need tospecify the limit you want. There is avariety of limits: When using the Up-to-Next option:Blind /DimensionUp-to-LastUp-to-NextUp-to-Plane/ Surface63

Additional Information (2/2)When creating a pad/pocket using the Up to surface option as one of the pad/pocket limits,you can access the following contextual menu in the Offset field:To create or edit a formula betweenThe Offset and another parameterTo change the Offset value through adialog boxTo add a maximum and minimumtolerance on the Offset parameterTo modify the incremental value ofthe OffsetTo enter a measure, in order to sendthe result of the measure into theOffset parameterTo define a range : the Offset valuecannot go beyond or belowTo add a comment on the Offsetparameter64

Creating HolesYou will learn how to create different types of hole and locate them onexisting featuresBlind HoleCountersunkThrough Hole .65

What is a Hole ? A hole is removing circular material all at once, from an existing feature Its length can be defined by dimensions or with respect to other 3D elementsRough or Precise Location?ApproximatelocationConcentric Hole The hole can be roughly or precisely located. You can locate precisely ahole at creation or afterSketch or not ? Note that you do not need a sketch to create a hole. The sketch of thehole is automatically created. To locate precisely a hole after creation,you edit its sketch and constrain its center point for example You will use Hole instead of Pocket because you can create holes includingtechnological information such as thread, angle bottom, counter bore .66

Dressing-Up FeaturesYou will learn how to dress-up a part with DraftsCreating DraftsVariable Draft AngleFilletingChamferingDrafted Filleted PadsDrafted Filleted PocketsShelling a PartThreads and TapsCreating PatternsTo Sum Up77

Creating DraftsYou will learn how to create Drafts on a 3D PartDrafted Part78

What is a Draft ? Drafts are angled faces defined on molded parts to makethem easier to remove from moldsMaterial removed or added? Material gets added or removed based on the draft angleapplied to the part during the operationDrafted partBasic Draft definitionPulling direction: this direction corresponds to thereference from which the draft faces are definedDraft angle: this is the angle that the draft faces makewith the pulling direction from the neutral element. Thisangle may be defined for each faceNeutral element: this element defines a neutral curveon which the drafted face will lie. This element willremain the same during the draft. The neutral elementand parting element (this plane,face or surface cuts thepart in 2 and each portion is drafted according to itspreviously defined direction) may be the same elementNote : You can enter a negative angle valuePulling directionNeutralelementDraft angle79

Additional InformationDesign changes If you edit the sketch used for defining the initial pad, CATIA integratesthis modification and computes the draft again. In the following example,a chamfer was added to the profileInitial sketch changedSelection There are two ways to determine the objects to draft: either by explicitlyselecting the objects or by selecting the neutral element, which makesCATIA detect the appropriate faces to use.Drafted portionParting elementParting element: A plane, face or surface that cuts the part in twoNeutral element (heresame as partingelement)88

Variable Draft AnglesYou will learn how to create Variable Drafts on a 3D Part89

What is a Variable Draft Angle ? Drafts are angled faces defined on molded parts to makethem easier to remove from molds. Sometimes, it isnecessary (for resistance or remove from mold reasons) todefine draft angle values that are not constantDefinitions:Pulling direction: this direction corresponds to thereference from which the draft faces are definedDraft angle: this is the angle that the draft faces makewith the pulling direction from the neutral element. Thisangle may be defined for each faceNeutral element: this element defines a neutral curveon which the drafted face will lie. This element willremain the same during the draft. The neutral elementand parting element may be the same elementPoints: this field is used to define the location of theangle values at the intersection between the neutralelement and the faces to be drafted. The draft anglevaries between these points90
