Do’s and Don’ts

AUTOMOTIVE PLASTIC DESIGN USING CATIA

Part Creation

● Always enable Create a geometrical set ● Hybrid Design is not preferred while
while creating a new part file creating a new part file
Tree Structure

● Structure the tree in order among the ● Adding the geometrical sets after the part
geometrical sets and parts body or adding the part body in between
the geometrical sets is not preferred
Tree Structure Contd.,

● All the required sketches should be ● Creating the sketches outside the
created in a single / multiple geometrical geometrical sets (i.e inside the Part Body)
sets based on the requirements is not correct
Sketch Constraints

● Dimensions of the sketch should be proper ● Providing the random decimal values are
while providing own dimensions. Whole not acceptable
numbers / defined decimal values are
acceptable
Sketch Constraints Cotd.,

● Try to provide the geometrical relations ● Adding the values in an angle is not
wherever possible which might reduce / preferred unless it is really required
neglect the use of dimensional constraints
