Settings 1/2 Depending on your needs, you may have to modify the CATIA V5 settings (units, default directory, visualisation parameters, etc…) In order to use the appropriate settings for this tutorial, you have two possibilities:

1. Do the following operations (simplest one):

? Do not forget to put this folder (CATSettings) in read mode: ? Select the folder (CATSettings) ? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only Attribute ? Select all the files in the folder ? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only Attribute

2. Set them manually: ? Launch your CATIA V5 session and do the operations from page 40 onwards Page 4

Page 28

Step 5: Creating a rule and a check ? Creating a check ?A Check is a relation to be verified in order to inform the user of a violation. Unlike a rule, it has no impact on parameter values. Checks allow control of design modifications and the prevention of errors

? Click on the Start menu and select Infrastructure/Knowledge Advisor to change workbench ? Click on the Check icon ? Key in Valid_Hole_Pattern in the Name of Check field ? Click on OK button ? In the check editor window key in Inner_Hub_Radius -Bolt_Pattern_Radius >0.25in ?Instead of writing the relation, you can pick the two parameter names directly from the Members of Renamed parameters list

? Set back the value to 4.5in

Page 30

Step 6: Creating two design tables ? Creating a rim size design table ?Design tables provide you with a means to create and manage part or assembly families through an Excel or Text table. Here we will use the Text file. ?There are two ways to create a design table: from the current parameter values or from a pre-existing file. ?The first design table you are going to create will be created from 3 existing parameters. It will drive the width and the diameter of the rim as well as its material

? Click on the Design Table icon ? In the Name field key in Wheel_Sizing ? Check the option Create a design table with current parameters values ? Click on OK button

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Step 6: Creating two design tables ? In the Select the pathname of the file to be created panel select an appropriate directory to save the Text file ? Save the Text file as Wheel_Size.txt ?Although not required, naming the Text file with the same name as the Design Table that will be created in the part facilitates design understanding

? Click on Save button ?Notice that the table already contains the current values for Rim_Size, Rim_Width and material parameters

? Click on Edit table button to edit the Text file ?You are going to add 9 configurations of Rim_Size , Rim_Width and material parameters

? Modify the Text sheet in order to get the table as shown in the picture ?BE CAREFUL : You have to type the TAB key between to parameters. ?Ex : 13 TAB 6 TAB Aluminium ENTER (for the first line)

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

? Select File/Exit command in Notepad ? Answer Yes to the Save question ? Click on Close button in the Message fired by Knowledge panel

? Click on OK button ?The Design table is displayed in the specification tree under the Relations node.

Page 32

Step 6: Creating two design tables ? Testing the design table ?In the Specification Tree, double click on the Configuration branch under Wheel_Sizing ?You may have to perform a second double click if you are not already in the Knowledge Advisor workbench. This will bring up the Edit Parameter window.

? In the Edit Parameter window click on the Opens a dialogue that allows you to change driving design table configuration button ? Select the second line: ?The Text file automatically includes inch units in the table because the General Units were specified as inches

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Step 6: Creating two design tables ? Creating a mounting design table ? Click on the Design Table icon under law icon ? In the Name field key in Mounting_Configuration ? Check the option Create a design table with current parameters values ? Click on OK button ? In the Filter Type field select Renamed Parameters ?Rim_Size and Rim_Width parameters are not available in the list because they are already used by the Wheel_Sizing table.

? In the Parameters to insert list select Number_of_Bolt_Holes and the insert arrow ? Repeat the same for the Bolt_Pattern_Diameter parameter ? Click on OK button

? In the Select the pathname of the file to be created panel select an appropriate directory to save the Text file © 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

? Save the Text file as Mounting_Configuration.txt ? Click on Save button

Page 34

Step 6: Creating two design tables

?Click on OK button

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

?The new Design table is displayed in the specification tree under the Relations node

Page 35

Step 6: Creating two design tables ? Testing the design table ?In the Specification Tree, double click on Configuration under Mounting_Configuration feature ? In the Edit Parameter window click on the the Opens a dialogue that allows you to change driving design table configuration button ? Scroll down each table line and click on Apply button each time ?You will notice in the geometry that the number of bolt holes is changing as well as the diameter of the holes crown

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

?When you reach line 7 you get a warning panel informing you that the holes crown diameter is too large.This message is generated from the check you created in step 5. The check light also turns to red in the tree

? Select Line 6 and click on OK button ? Click on OK button in the Edit Parameter window

Page 36

Step 7: Computing the inertia elements ? Computing the Volume, the mass and the inertia elements of the rim ?You are going to compute the rim volume, the mass, the centre of gravity G, the principal moments of inertia M and the matrix of inertia calculated with respect to the centre of gravity

? In the Start menu (toolbar) select Mechanical Design & Part Design to change the workbench ? Click on the Measure Inertia icon ? Click on Customize button ? In the Measure Inertia Customisation panel check only following options:Volume, Mass, Centre of gravity (G), Principal moments / G, Inertia matrix / G ? Click on Apply button ? Select the Outer_Rim body in the tree ? Check the Keep Measure option

© 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES

?This option lets you keep the current measure as a feature in the specification tree. It will remain associative and the parameters associated to the measure feature may be used later in a formula or to create geometry

? Click on Close button ?The computed elements are displayed in the specifications tree under the Measure node ?After having modified the geometry you will have to use Local Update command in the contextual menu of the Measure feature to update the results
