INTODUCTION
Intoduction to CATIA V5R19
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is a
multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by the
French company Dassault Systemes and marketed worldwide by IBM. Written in
the C++ programming language, CATIA is the cornerstone of the of the Dassault
Systemes product
ystemes product lifecycle management software suite. T hrough its exceptionally
easy ± to- of the art user interface, CATIA delivers inno vative
to- use state of the
technologies for maximum productivity and creativity, from concept to the final
for maximum producti
product. CATIA reduces yhe learning cur ve ,as it allows the flexi b bility of using
feature- b
based and parametric
and parametric designs .
CATIA provides three basic platforms: P1, P2, P3. P1 is for small and medium sized process
oriented companies that wish to grow the large scale digitized product definition. P2 is for
advanced design engineering companies that require product, process and resources modeling.
P3 is for high end design application and it is basically for Automotive and Aerospace industry,
where high quality surfacing or Class-A surfacing is used for designing
for designing.
History :
In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATI A as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its largest
customer .
In 1992, CADAM was purchased from IBM and the next year CATIA CADAM V4 was
pu blished. In 1996, it was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM AIX,
Silicon Graphics IR IX, Sun Microsystems SunOS and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX.
In 1998, an entirely rewritten version of CATIA, CATIA V5 was released, with support for
U NIX, Windows NT and Windows XP since 2001.
In 2008, Dassault announced and released CATIA V6. While the ser ver can run on Microsoft
Windows, Linux or AIX, client support for any operating system other than Microsoft Windows
is dropped.
CATIA is widely used throughout the engineering industry, especially in the automotive and
aerospace sectors.
Aerospace
The Boeing Company used CATIA V3 to develop its 777 airliner, and is currently using CATIA
V5 for the 787 series aircraft. They have employed the full range of Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM
products ² CATIA, DELMIA, and E NOVI A LCA ² supplemented by Boeing developed
applications.
Chinese Xian JH-7A is the first aircraft developed by CATIA V5, when the design was
completed on Septem ber 26, 2000.
European aerospace giant Air bus has been using CATIA since 2001.
Canadian aircraft maker Bom bardier Aerospace has done all of its aircraft design on CATIA.
The Brazilian aircraft company, EMBRAER , use Catia V4 and V5 to build all airplanes.
The British Helicopter company, Westlands, use CATIA V4 and V5 to produce all their aircraft.
Westlands is now part of an Italian company called Finmeccanica the joined company calls
themselves AgustaWestland.
The main supplier of helicopters to the U.S Military forces, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., uses CATIA
as well.
Automotive
Many automotive companies use CATIA to varying degrees, including BMW, Porsche, Daimler
AG, Chrysler, Audi,[11] Volkswagen, Bentley Motors Limited, Volvo, Fiat, Benteler AG, PSA
Peugeot Citroën, R enault, Toyota, Ford, Scania, Hyundai, koda Auto, Tesla Motors, Proton,
Tata motors and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, [[MLR motors, Hydera bad][International cars
& motors ltd(Sonalika group0,http://www.icml.co.in]. Goodyear uses it in making tires for
automotive and aerospace and also uses a customized CATIA for its design and development.
Many automotive companies use CATIA for car structures ² door beams, IP supports, bumper
beams, roof rails, side rails, body components ² because CATIA is very good in surface
creation and Computer representation of surfaces.
Shipbuilding
Dassault Systems has begun ser ving ship builders with CATIA V5 release 8, which includes
special features useful to ship builders. GD Electric Boat used CATIA to design the latest fast
attack su bmarine class for the United States Navy, the V irginia class. Northrop Grumman
Newport News also used CATIA to design the Gerald R. Ford class of supercarriers for the US
Navy.
Other
Architect Frank Gehry has used the software, through the C-Cu bed Virtual Architecture
company, now Virtual Build Team, to design his award-winning cur vilinear buildings. His
technology arm, Gehry Technologies, has been developing software based on CATIA V5 named
Digital Pro ject. Digital Pro ject has been used to design buildings and has successfully completed
a handful of pro jects.
'Solid Modeling' is a method used to design parts by com bining various 'solid o bjects' into a
single three-dimensional (3D) part design. Originally, solid modelers were based on solid o bjects
being formed by primitive shapes such as a cone, torus, cylinder, sphere, and so on. This evolved
into solid o bjects being created and formed from swept, lofted, rotated, and extruded 2D
wireframe or sketch geometry.
Because of their limited use, some solid modelers have a bandoned the primitive shapes
altogether in favor of predefined li brary solid o bjects. 'Stock' li brary o bjects pro vide the designer
with a similar shape to begin the design with, eliminating some of the initial tedious design work .
The real power of a solid modeling application is how it can take the solid o bjects and
com bine them together by intersecting, joining, or su btracting the o bjects from one another to
create the desired resulting shapes. Because everything in a solid model design is a 'watertight'
model of the part, the solid modeler is a ble to know the topology of the entire model. By
topology we mean that it knows what faces are ad jacent to each other and which edges are
tangent.
Since the solid modeler's data base knows so much a bout the entire part model, it can perform
functions virtually impossi ble with surface modeling. F or example you can fillet all the ad jacent
edges of a face to other faces in a single command. Another popular example is the 'shell'
function of solid modelers. This allows you to define a constant wall thickness for the entire
model with a simple task with a single command
Most solid modelers support 'geometric constraints'. A geometric constraint is the relationship of
an entity to other entities. Constraints are only used on the underlying sketch or wireframe
entities that define the solid o bject bounaries. Some common 'constraints' for these entities are
coincident, collinear, intersect, parallel, perpendicular, and tangent . When one or more entities
are 'constrained' to each other, changing any of the entities will most likely have an effect on the
others. In the example , the lines and arcs have been assigned tangent constraints to each other
and two arc are mirror to each other . When one of the arcs in the solid's boundary sketch is
changed other one is also changed.
Some
solid
modelers automatically assign the constraints for you as you design the part. O thers provide the
a bility to assign constraints as you are designing. CATIA will automatically assign constraints
where it thinks you want them and then allow you to modify or remove them manually later .
Single entity attri butes such as 'horizontal' and vertical' are also considered to be constraints,
since tagging an entity with one of these attri butes will keep the solid modeler from changing it
when other entities that have relationships to it are changed.
Constraints are one of the system basics needed to provide true geometric associativity. Most
solid modelers will allow you to add and modify constraints as needed. There are even some
solid modelers that will attempt to automatically assign the required geometric constraints
logically from the steps you take to design the part
For designs that require any com bination of fillets along multiple edges, contain drafted surfaces,
or constant wall thickness, solid modeling is far superior to surface modeling.
For designs that require sculptured surfaces with a lot of cur vature (the mouse you are using on
you computer comes to mind) a surface modeler is far easier than a solid modeler . In fact it may
be virtually impossi ble to create some shapes with a solid modeler and hold exact dimensions for
very complex shapes.

A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow.
The closing mechanism takes the form of a disk . O peration is similar to that of a
ball valve, which allows for quick shut off . Butterfly valves are generally favored
because they are lower in cost to other valve designs as well as being lighter in
weight, meaning less support is required.
A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. The
"butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is
turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. W hen the valve is fully
open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows an almost unrestricted
passage of the fluid. T he valve may also be opened incrementally to throttle flow.
Structure
Butterfly valves are valves with a circular body and a rotary motion disk closure mem ber which
is pivotally supported by its stem. A butterfly valve can appear in various styles, including
eccentric and high-performance valves. These are normally a type of valve that uses a flat plate
to control the flow of water . As well as this, butterfly valves are used on firefighting apparatus
and typically are used on larger lines, such as front and rear suction ports and tank to pump lines.
A butterfly valve is also a type of flow control device, used to make a fluid start or stop flowing
through a section of pipe. The valve is similar in operation to a ball valve. R otating the handle
turns the plate either parallel or perpendicular to the flow of water, shutting off the flow.
Types
1. Resilient butterfly valve , having a flexi ble ru bber seat. Working pressure 232 psi
2. High performance butterfly valve , usually dou ble eccentric in design. Working
pressure up to 725 psi
3. Tricentric butterfly valve , usually with metal seat design. Working pressure up to 1450
psi
