The 3DExperience platform can connect to various CAD Authoring tools. In this instance, we’ll be using 3DExperience CATIA the evolution of a popular CATIA V 5 has been developed for the 3DExperience platform. This can be launched directly via the web interface by choosing the app as we create creating sheet metal components, which use a dedicated sheet metal design app upon creation and company wide environments and templates. We automatically applied sheet metal parameters are captured, specify the plate thickness and radius, and then deduction calculation methodology. Key dimensions are captured in 2D sketch with depth added extrusion, both the handy action pad on the right and the useful contextual menus at your mouse. Tips can be used to add constraints and other commands simply and easily. Specific sheet metal commands can be added from louvers and stamps to removing sharp, dangerous corners all finer details can be captured through sketches and the construction geometry that is needed the developed pattern can be displayed using a fold unfold. Commands for direct Dxf export for fabrication attribute can be accessed with any extra metadata added which can all be read free experience platform have more of in-depth searching. and other attribute filters once saved to the 3DExperience Platform we can add a file to a bookmark a convenient place to store any active documents from here for file can be locked to ensure single ownership when editing. Full lifecycle maturity can be accessed progressing the component for a design process So there we have it basic part creation of 3DExperience CATIA with direct links to a the 3DExperience platform. Any additional attributes can be added to create a rich data environment and upload the file to the platform to a desired bookmark. Once a revision managed environment can lock a file to a single owner, work on the change actions and push a file for a lifecycle. As a design develops.
