Description
? This Tutorial is an introduction to Assembly Design.
Message
? Assembly Design is easy to use and powerful. The basics of product
structure, constraints, and moving assemblies and parts can be learned
quickly.
? In this tutorial you will understand the power of associativity in CATIA V5,
creating design in context and realising operations directly in the assembly
design.
? We will see the facility to use sub assemblies and constraints.
Duration
? 45 minutes

Step 1
? Add a part into an assembly
Step 2
? Fix create constraints between this new part and other parts
Step 3
? When the tweeter is inserted, repeat this operation with the woofer
Step 4
? Create Holes in the Box to add screws
Step 5
? Add screws from a catalog
Step 6
? Modify the size of the Box and check the associativity
Step 7
? Assembly Feature

For this tutorial you also need to install a material catalogue:
? Do not do this step if you have already done it in getting started or in a previous tutorial
? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program
Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\French directory
? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program
Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\German directory
? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program
Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\Japanese directory

? Select Up To Next
? Selecting Up To Next means that if we modify the
thickness of box, the hole will be adjusted accordingly
Page 22
? Select YES
? Select OK
? The hole pattern on the box is driven by the hole pattern on
the woofer
Page 23
? Select OK
? Notice the box has turned bright red
indicating the hole pattern should be updated
to match the pattern in the woofer
