INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction to CATIA V5R19

CATIA ( Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) i s a m u l t i -

platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by the French company
Dassault Systems and marketed worldwide by IBM. Written in the C++ programming
language, CATIA is the cornerstone of the Dassault Systems product lifecycle management
software suite. Through its exceptionally easy ± to - use state of the art user interface, CATIA
delivers innovative technologies for maximum productivity and creativity, from concept to
the final product. CATIA reduces the learning curve, as it allows the flexibility of using
feature-based 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.

 CHAPTER 2
HISTORY

2. History of CATIA:

CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Avions

Marcel Dassault, at that time customer of the CAD & CAM software.

Initially named CATIA (Conception Assistee Tridimensionnelle Interactive — French for

Interactive Aided Three-dimensional Design) — it was renamed CATIA in 1981, when
Dassault created a subsidiary to develop and sell the software, and signed a non-exclusive
distribution agreement with IBM.

In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its largest customer.

In 1988, CATIA version 3 was ported from mainframe computers to UNIX. In 1990, General
Dynamics Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, to design the U.S.
Navy's Virginia class submarine.

In 1992, CAD & CAM was purchased from IBM and the next year CATIA CAD &
CAM V4 was published. In 1996, it was ported from one to four UNIX operating systems,
including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS and Hewlett-Packard
HP-UX.

In 1998, an entirely rewritten version of CATIA, CATIA V5 was released, with

support for
UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP since 2001.

In 2008, Dassault announced and released CATIA V6. While the server can run on
Microsoft Windows, Linux or AIX, client support for any operating system other than
Microsoft Windows is dropped.

2.1 Industries using CATIA

CATIA is widely used throughout the engineering industry, especially in the

automotive and aerospace sectors.

2.1.1. 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 — CATIA, DELMIA, and ENOVIA LCA — supplemented by
Boeing developed applications.

Chinese Xian JH-7A is the first aircraft developed by CATIA V5, when the design was
completed on September 26, 2000. European aerospace giant Airbus has been using CATIA
since 2001. Canadian aircraft maker has done all of its aircraft design on CATIA.

The Brazilian aircraft company, EMBRAER, use Catia V4 and V5 to build all airplanes.
Vought Aircraft Industries use CATIA V4 and V5 to produce its parts.
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.

2.1.2. Automotive

Many automotive companies use CATIA to varying degrees, including BMW, Porsche,
Daimler AG, Chrysler, Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley Motors Limited, Volvo, Fiat, Benteler AG,
PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault, Toyota, Ford, Scania, Hyundai, Škoda Auto, Tesla Motors,
Proton, Tata motors and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. 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 — door beams, IP supports, bumper
beams, roof rails, side rails, body components — because CATIA is very good in surface
creation and Computer representation of surfaces.

3
2.1.3. Shipbuilding

Dassault Systems has begun serving shipbuilders with CATIA V5 release 8, which includes
special features useful to shipbuilders. GD Electric Boat used CATIA to design the latest fast
attack submarine class for the United States Navy, the Virginia class. Northrop Grumman
Newport News also used CATIA to design the Gerald R. Ford class of super carriers for the
US Navy.

 CHAPTER 3
SOLID MODELING

'Solid Modeling' is a method used to design parts by combining various 'solid objects'
into a single three-dimensional (3D) part design. Originally, solid modelers were based on
solid objects being formed by primitive shapes such as a cone, torus, cylinder, sphere,
and so on. This evolved into solid objects being created and formed from swept, lofted,
rotated, and extruded 2D wireframe or sketch geometry.
Because of their limited use, some solid modelers have abandoned the primitive shapes
altogether in favor of predefined library solid objects. 'Stock' library objects provide the
designer with a similar shape to begin the design with, eliminating some of the initial
tedious design work.

3.1 ABOUT SOLID MODELING

The real power of a solid modeling application is how it can take the solid objects and
combine them together by intersecting, joining, or subtracting the objects 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 able to know the topology
of the entire model. By topology we mean that it knows what faces are adjacent to
each other and which edges are tangent.

5
Since the solid modeler's database knows so much about the entire part model, it can
perform functions virtually impossible with surface modeling. For example designer
can fillet all the adjacent edges of a face to other faces in a single command. Another
popular example is the 'shell' function of solid modelers. This allows designer to define
a constant wall thickness for the entire model with a simple task with a single
command

3.2 Constraints in solid modeling:

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 object boundaries. Some common
'constraints' for these entities are coincident, collinear, intersect, parallel,
perpendicular, and tangent. When one or more entities are 'constrained' to each other,

6
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.

Modelers automatically assign the constraints for designer as designer design the part. Others
provide the ability to assign constraints as designer is designing. CATIA will automatically
assign constraints where it thinks designer want them and then allow designer to modify or
remove them manually later.
In following example tangent constraint is automatically assign by CATIA
Single entity attributes such as 'horizontal' and ’vertical’ are also considered to be constraints,
since tagging an entity with one of these attributes 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 designer 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 designer take to design the part

3.3 Solid Modeling vs Surface Modeling:

For designs that require any combination 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 curvature a surface modeler is far
easier than a solid modeler. In fact it may be virtually impossible to create some shapes with
a solid modeler and hold exact dimensions for very complex shapes.

4.4 BUTTERFLY VALVE ASSEMBLY:

A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The closing
mechanism takes the form of a disk. Operation 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.

4.4.1 ABOUT BUTTERFLY VALVE:

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. When the valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so
that it allows an almost unrestricted passage of the fluid. The valve may also be opened
incrementally to throttle flow.

17
4.4.2 Structure:

Butterfly valves are valves with a circular body and a rotary motion disk closure
member 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. Rotating
the handle turns the plate either parallel or perpendicular to the flow of water,
shutting off the flow.

4.4.3 Types:
1. Resilient butterfly valve, having a flexible rubber seat. Working pressure 232 psi
2. High performance butterfly valve, usually double eccentric in design. Working
pressureup to 725 psi
3. Tricentric butterfly valve, usually with metal seat design. Working pressure up to
1450psi
