If you are currently administering the V5 applications at your company, you may need to perform that same function for V6. This paper provides an overview of the V6 administration required to set-up and maintain your user workstations. It will provide information for understanding and preparing for a V6 client install, show the differences between the administration of V6 and V5 for the different products, and discuss some post installation information that will allow you to easily maintain the V6 client en

The licensing environment for IBM PLM software is a necessary part of the overall system’s ability to function. Choosing the right licensing environment to ensure continuous service is something that should be seriously considered. The administration of License Use Management (LUM) requires attention to several fundamental details. The following paper will provide information and tools to help aid in the implementation of a High Availability Licensing (HAL) Cluster. This is one of LUM’s more com

The licensing environment for IBM PLM software is a necessary part of the overall system’s ability to function. Choosing the right licensing configuration to ensure proper functionality is something that should be considered. License Use Management (LUM), when used with CATIA Version 5, provides multiple license configuration options. This document is the result of experience gained from supporting a wide variety of customer licensing configurations.

CATIA V5 introduces powerful and intuitive tools to automate tasks in the design process. This paper introduces the concept of Parameters and how they can be used to control part design. The use of Parameters to create Design Tables will also be covered.

The objective of the excercises in this document is to familiarize the reader with the basic principles and techniques used in the DELMIA DPM Assembly Process Simulation workbench. Using CATIA CATParts and CATProducts, the user will learn how to simulate a typical Product assembly in a manufacturing environment. Simulating the assmbly process allows the manufacturing engineer to design, review and validate plant floor layouts and assembly lines in a digital world, before embracing the actual build. In thi

In today’s engineering environments it is challenging to train new users. Due to the length of hiring cycles, new users arrive full of energy while all available trainers require every spare minute to stay on schedule. This session demonstrates a method used by the Technical Support Team when faced with this situation. It will address a WLS self paced approach including mentoring, focusing the user on self picked design project, incorporating modules such as Part Design, Drafting, Manufacturing and As

It is possible to operate CATIA V5 with the default Standards delivered with the code, but many companies customize these Standards to best meet their needs and the needs of their suppliers. Supply Chain companies may also have to manage a multitude of Standards from other companies along with their own. This paper discusses the steps required to customize the different Standards, and how to share the customized Standards across multiple environments and workstations. This paper is intended for the beginner

There are many steps used to administer V5 CATIA, in which the default method uses the Graphical User Interface. This session discusses the advanced tasks of using the Batch Install Tools provided with the V5 CATIA code. It will show the importance of using them to perform unattended administration tasks using a single step. Using Batch Commands in scripts will also be discussed to show a greater increase of productivity and efficiency in administering your CATIA V5 environments on many workstations. This p

The objective of this paper is to provide the techniques necessary to study the motion of mechanisms using CATIA V5. It is understood that one has the basic technical background of kinematics. The graphical approach provides methods that are complementary with the methods usually presented in the physics and mechanics studies. Example exercises were provided with the permission of Honda R & D Americas, Inc.

The licensing environment for a CAD/CAM system is a necessary part of the overall applications ability to function. Understanding the workings of a license environment, choosing the appropriate licensing tools that will gather key information for administrative needs brings about questions that are sometimes difficult to answer. This paper has been written to address some most frequently asked questions about LUM.
