3 Rules for Creating a Typical Design Solution Assembly

3.1 General Rules

Consult the Main Module of this AM.

Never add or delete geometry from a read-only assembly.

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

Never use Cut in preference to Delete. Do not cut a component from an assembly. Use copyand paste, and then delete the original component.

3.2 Naming and Numbering

Consult the Main Module of this AM.

The file name (L53S1234500000.CATProduct) must always correspond to the assemblyreference (Part Number = L53S1234500000).

− Change the Part Number field immediately (Contextual menu + Properties + Producttab) when a new CATProduct (File + New + Product) is created. Then save the file(Save As): the file name is then initialised with the assembly reference.

− The "Tools + Options + Infrastructure + Product Structure + Part Number + Manualinput" option must be activated when a new CATProduct is created in the AssemblyDesign Workbench with the New Product command. This option ensures that the PartNumber field is filled in before the CATProduct is inserted. The file can then be savedwith the "File + Save As" command.

Remark: The "Save As" command must be used after any change made to the Part Number property to ensure that the file name corresponds.

3.3 Standard Parts

Standard parts are elements defined by a standard document.

All standard parts should be shown within the DMU with the exception of fasteners, whichshould only be used in the following conditions:

− Proof of design

− Clash or clearance condition− Specific DMU requirement

− Supportability study− Installation assemblies

Fasteners created with automated assembly techniques should not be included in assembliesand represented as a point and vector.


AM5012 Module 1

Standard parts are delivered through the CADLIB in a CATIA V5 catalog named"StandardParts.catalog". The classification is delivering by ESW and is the same than theESDB one.

The structure of this catalog is as follow.

3.3.1 CATIA V5/ESDB Link

There is a bi-directional link between ESDB (containing metadata as Material, Effectivity…)and the CATIA V5 Catalog (containing CAD and dimensional data).

3.3.1.1 Search a Standard in ESDB

It is possible to search a Standard in ESDB and to open automatically the CATIA V5 catalog atthe same position:

− Search in ESDB the desired standard and select the link to CATIA V5 Catalog.

Select the link toCATIA V5 Catalog

Figure 4: Result page search in ESDB

− Return in CATIA V5, the Catalog browser is opened at the same position, displayingthe same Standard.

Result in the CATIA V5 Catalog browser
