Doing an Assembly – Catia’s Answer
IE 1225 Introduction to Design & Manufacturing

Issues we will explore:
Using the Product Tree Part Command allows parts can be inserted into
the tree and designed “on the fly” Components which are coupled into the
“CATProduct” but don’t exist as a separate entity in its own file
Existing Component is used to insert an existing part or assembly into the current Product
Sub-Assemblies are previously developed Assembled Products that can be inserted into a current product “all at once”

Considering Assembly Constraints:
Coincidence Constraints: aligns axes, planes and points
Contact Constraints: a tool for creating contacts between 2 planes or surfaces
Offset Constraint: defines a desired offset distance between two elements
Angle Constraints: A way to define an angular relationship between two elements

Considering Assembly Constraints:
Fix Component: A way to FIX a part “in space” so that it will always remain there. Other parts can be constrained relative to a Fixed component
Fix Together: Fixes two parts together (forever)
Flexible/Rigid Subassembly: in a flexible sub, parts and components can be moved regardless of the fact if it (or they) are the active component

More Considerations:
Use Save Management commands because of the several links within the root tree Save or save-as individuals in the Save
Management window We can also just “Save All” for a full update
When modeling because of constraining issues, parts must have tolerenced dimensions added

We Finish with an Assembly:

From Which we Make an Exploded Product Drawing
Note: The Product is highlighted – We can explode and assemble!

Building An Assembly
Start Work in the Assembly Workbench We begin with a “Root” CATProduct We can create “Components” of the assembly that exist
only within the “Root Files” We can inport Existing Components to the Assembly (parts
or sub-assemblies created earlier) W/ or W/O positioning We can create Parts for the Assembly “on the Fly” We can create “Instances” or duplicates of parts We can create Numbers or Letters to Identify parts of an
Assembly – for BOM needs We can “Manage Representation” (names, associations,
etc.) of the components of an assembly We can Bring in Catalog – or standard – components to
our assemblies like bolts/nuts/pins, etc.

Because Assemblies are Multi-component products get in the habit of ‘SaveManaging’ them and consider using Folders to save all of the components and parts required

Using Ass’bly I & properties to name it then Add Part ICON to create Part1.1 under it & then Properties/ set Instance Name to ToolPostBody
![Page 12: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Draw a Profile on ZX plane as seen

Pad the Sketch to Dimension on Pg 5.1-7
Add Fillets to Sides – as specified in Drawing Pg. 5.1-7 too!
![Page 14: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Draw & Contrain the Profile on Large side – to pocket
![Page 15: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Clicking Tolerance ICON (on hole) lets us set the dimensions
![Page 17: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Make Face Threaded Holes and Add Material (Cast Iron)
![Page 19: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
This Part Is Finished – Save Manage!!
![Page 20: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Add a Second Part (to ToolPost Assembly)
![Page 21: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Draw a Profile for the Wedge – as Specified – note Angle is 160!
![Page 22: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Before Setting Slot Width – enter Tools … Options: Set Tolerance Default to +0 -.012 Then set Slot Width 0.19;
Then turn Default Tolerance Off!
After Resetting Def. Toler.; Exit Sketcher and Pocket “Up to Last” Then Save Manage
![Page 23: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
After Saving: Show Part 1 Attach the Compass to The Wedge and Move it Away from the Tool Post Body Part
Note: The Compass is Attached to the Wedge – only it is moving! When we finish Click on the Red Box and drag it “Home (upper Right Corner of View)
![Page 24: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Make a 3rd Part – BOLT- Make it as a Shaft; Careful of Tolerance – Then Sketch and Pad the Head
![Page 25: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Then Thread the End: ½ x 13 UNC for 1.25”
![Page 26: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
After Chamfer its End and Save Managing for the Bolt; Un-Hide The Body & Wedge and Reposition the Bolt
![Page 27: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Standard Parts can be added We highlight the Assembly Then Click Tool and Mech Std Parts – ASME, ANSI Inch Catalogs
![Page 28: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The set screws are inch Size Screws – use ¼ x 20 1.73” headless – modify for proper length and End Form (Edit Formulas)
![Page 29: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
After Adding it We can change its Name – Set Screw 1 (or not) then save manage
![Page 30: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A Second Headless Set Screw can be added By Copying this: Rt. Click it .. Copy Then Rt. Click Tool Post Product and … Paste – Move it where we desire
![Page 31: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Add The ASME Nut (washer type) and Washer – position them
Then Draw in the Rest of the Components: The Tool Post Screw (and make a copy); Then Adj. Screw; Finally Slotted Washer and Adjustor Nut
![Page 32: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Once all components are Drawn and Saved We add Assembly Constraints – The Heart of the Task!
First A Contact Constraint Between The Bottom of the Wedge and The top of the Sloped Surface in the T.Post Body
![Page 33: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
After Contact Constraint Between Wedge and T.P. Face A very Useful Offset Constraint Between the Front Face of the Body and The Wedge
![Page 34: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Anchor (FIX) the Tool Post Body Then “Up Date” to Bring the Wedge into Position
![Page 35: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Apply Coincidence Constraints to the Axes of the Set Screws and Body Holes – And Offset Constraint To Back of Body and “Screw Slots”
![Page 36: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Add The Rest of The Components & Their Constraints for Assembly on Your Own
![Page 37: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
I had previously made and saved the ToolPost Screws – So I added them as components w/ Positioning
They need to have coincidence and Offset Constraints applied for proper “Posing”
![Page 38: Doing an Assembly Catia Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/55cf921d550346f57b93b5c3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
After the Copied Screw was constrained:
