Methods & Processes, Deployment - OAMI: Guidelines for Methods - CATIA V5

Preface 4The following document provides an overview of the available methods using CATIA V5, and presents a compact guideline to the essential and most important procedures and methods.

4In this manual, priority is placed on those methods indispensable to the process. The remarks are to be understood as short explanations only.

4For more detailed information, the User Instructions, AM’s and AP’s referenced in this document are to be consulted.

4General Rules

© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4Naming and Numbering should always follow AM2215. 4Part Name = Filename. 4Filenames are always in Uppercase. 4No spaces are allowed. 4Always change part numbers within CATIA V5 using Save Management. 4Never rename or overwrite CATIA documents with UNIX or Windows file managers.

Part Numbering

AM5018.6

4Large Components with Sub-Element Parts 4Large components, such as ribs, skins and spars, can be created as a series of individual sub-element parts, represented in the DMU as a single, linked model.

4Naming Convention 4Final Model: 4 M57P5432120000

4Sub-Element Parts: 4 M57P5432120000-01,

-02, -03, etc.

Copy with Link

4PRIMES 3 4On first vaulting, it is important that the final model and all sub-element parts are vaulted together to maintain issue status. It is recommended that the maximum number of sub-element parts are created (as empty CATParts) because further iterations cannot be added after this initial vaulting. 4Drawings are linked to the final model and not the sub-element parts.

File Management

AM5012 / UI186

4Correct File Management while Maintaining Links 4The following method must be followed to ensure that renamed parts, assemblies and drawings update successfully. 4 Open the assembly (or part) required for change. 4 If the assembly has an associated drawing, this must be opened in the same CATIA session for the links to update correctly. 4 Use Save Management to change the assembly and parts filenames. 4 Modify the assembly, part, and instance numbers within Properties. 4 Save the assembly. 4 Swap CATIA window to the drawing(s) and rename as required.

– (The assembly must still be open).

File Management

AM2252 / UI227

4Maintaining & Managing UUID Links 4A UUID is a unique identifier recorded inside all CATIA documents. 4When CATIA opens a reference document (i.e. sub-assembly) both its name and UUID are checked. If the UUID number has changed it will not open correctly, and any existing links will be broken. This condition can be caused if the original sub-assembly had been deleted and restarted, creating a new UUID number.

4General Rules 4Always preserve the original vaulted CATIA document. 4Never delete and restart an existing CATIA document with File + New, File + New From or File + Save as New document. This creates a new UUID number. © AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4Never overwrite CATIA documents with new versions using UNIX or Windows. 4 Use

File + Save Management / Save As to renumber existing CATIA documents. – Keeps the same UUID number. – Maintains assembly and drawing links (User Instruction 186).

4 Only

use File + New From to create a new, unique part based on an existing part. – Creates a new UUID number. – Links to existing assemblies and drawings are not required.

4PartBody placed on correct Master Model Layer (See Layers & Colours). 4Special characters (i.e.commas) are not allowed as element names. 4Delete any redundant wireframe and surface geometry. 4Isolate all non-essential external references. 4Only the PartBody should be shown. Hide all other geometry. 4Only approved Material Attributes are allowed.

Assembly Design

AM5012 / UI198

4General Rules 4Assembly Name = Assembly Instance Name.x = Filename. 4All Parts and Assemblies should have a Product Description (Properties Menu). 4Parts or products must only be added or deleted from a sub-assembly when it is open in its own window (at root level).

4Broken links should be immediately reattached with File + Desk and Edit + Links or by using Replace Component.

© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4Constraints are permitted between parts within a single assembly. 4Fix all Assembly Components that are not constrained. 4Parts should not be hidden in the assembly structure. 4Performance can be improved by configuring the CATIA V5 Search Order (UI243). 4Only use DMU Navigator Cumulative Snap with the Rotation Option. 4 (Never

use the symmetry option).

Composite Design

AM5034

4Design Methodology 4Composite Parts are designed on reference surfaces using wireframe geometry to define the composite entities.

4Composite Design uses the Composite Part Design Workbench. 4There are three design methodologies that can be adopted: 4Zone and Taper 4 Discrete

zones of constant thickness and the ramp areas between these zones are designed. Solid and ply creation can be automatically performed.

4 Automatic

design method – recommended for simple components.

4Zone and Limit Contour © AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4 Discrete

zones of constant thickness are designed but ramps between zones are not designed. Solid and ply creation require some interaction with the workbench in order to complete definition.

4 Semi-Automatic

design method.

4Ply-by-Ply 4 Each

ply contour is individually defined by the designer.

4 Manual

design method – recommended for complex components and sandwich panels.

AM2264 / AM2255

4General Rules 4Drawings are numbered with the first nine digits of the assembly or part number with a suffix indicating the drawing sheet number -01, 02, etc. (i.e. M57P54321-01).

4One sheet per CATDrawing. (No limit on the number of detail sheets per drawing). 4All Drawings should be created with the Airbus Title Block Application. 4Picture Drawings can be used in specific circumstances. (AM2255).

4Views

© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4All views should be locked prior to filing or vaulting. 4View frames should be turned off prior to vaulting. 4Section Views should not be pasted across drawings. The section should be generated from a front view which is scaled down, moved off the drawing sheet, and hidden.

4Dimensions 4All dimensions should be compliant with Airbus ISO Standard. 4Dimensions should be fully associative on exact views. 4Dimensions are not permitted on Isometric Views or picture drawings. 4Avoid Fake dimensions. Methods & Processes, Deployment - OAMI: Guidelines for Methods - CATIA V5

Drawings

AM2264 / AM2255

4Drawing Links 4All drawings should be created with valid links to 14-Digit CATParts/ CATProducts. 4The only exception to this rule is drawings that include reference geometry, which are generated from a 9-digit Design Tree Assembly. (See Table). 4 The Design Tree Assembly contains reference geometry, and all views should be considered as snapshots only. 4 Before updating any views, it is important that content of the reference geometry in the Design Tree Assembly is validated.

Working with the Airbus Vault

UI227 / UI243

4General Rules 4Assemblies and parts should not be open in CATIA when storing to the vault. 4When working in an assembly with sub-assemblies, all affected CATProducts must be vaulted in the same session and not at different times. This ensures that all links are synchronised.

4Do not work on an assembly, then reset the check-out in the vault and overwrite the assembly with its old version.

4All CATIA documents, which have a UUID number that is different from the originally vaulted document, will be rejected by the PRIMES PDM system.

© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4Read Only Areas (ROAs) 4Never attempt to add or delete geometry from a read-only assembly. 4Select only the minimum number of projects required in the Set Project / wsconfig Tool. This will improve performance as it reduces the number of CATIA search paths.

4The SP-Resolved and Equipment DLNames should be moved to the bottom of the CATIA Search Order to improve performance.
