HOMEWORK DUE OCTOBER 14TH 2010 6:00PM

EMAIL YOUR CATIA FILES (YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE) TO

Your email’s subject line should be “CATIA homework – [your
name]”

Create a CATIA model of the two parts and their assembly using
parametric and relational design principles, such that;

1. The diameter of the pointed hole (with arrow) in Figure 1 drives

the diameter of the lower hole with the same diameter. That is,
the lower hole diameter should always be equal to the pointed
hole diameter.

Figure 1. PART 1
2. The part width should be defined by one dimension only. That is,
the change in Figure 2 should occur as a result of only one
dimension modification.

Figure 2. PART 1 width change in one step

3. The same pointed hole diameter mentioned in question 1 also

drives the rail inner width (circled on top left) of PART 2, shown
in Figure 4.
4. The width modification in question 2 also affects the outer rail
width of PART 2. When the width of PART 1 is modified, the
outer edges of the rail of PART 2 follows the inner walls of PART
1’s rail. Note that it does not affect the inner rail width of PART
2, as it was already defined in question 3.
