Case Study: Reusing Data
The case study for this lesson is the Engine used in the Drill
Press assembly (shown below). The engine is part of the Bloc Engine
sub-assembly. This case study focuses on incorporating the design
intent requirements in the creation of the part.

Design Intent
The engine must meet the following design intent
requirements:
The side fins should be created using a rectangular pattern.
This avoids having to create and sketch each pocket
individually.
The hole pattern should be created using a user-defined
pattern.
This feature can also be created as a rectangular pattern;
however, a user-defined pattern will enable you to customize the
hole locations.
The model should be partially created by copying and pasting
features.
This is one way of quickly recreating duplicate features.
The model should include features from a catalog.
This is a typical way to retrieve data from a source that is
accessible to everyone.

Introduction to Duplicating Features
CATIA allows the creation of various types of features; however,
some features always occur multiple times in a model. In order to
avoid having to create each one individually, duplication tools are
used. Two types are discussed in this lesson:
A. Mirror Using the Mirror tool, you can create
one half of a symmetrical part and duplicate the opposite side
about some reference.
B. Pattern Patterns enable you to create several
identical features from an existing one, and to simultaneously
position them on a part.

Mirror
When designing parts, it is a good idea to identify any areas of
symmetry before beginning to model. This enables you to plan and
reduce the amount of work needed by only building half of the part,
then using the Mirror tool to build the other side. You can also
mirror individual features.
Use the following steps to create a mirror feature:
1. Select the Mirror icon.2. Select a datum plane or planar
surface that
will be the plane of symmetry.3. Select OK.

Removing Individual Instances in a Pattern
When you create a pattern, CATIA gives you the option to remove
individual instances before the pattern is completed.
While the Pattern definition window is open, click on the
centers of the instances that you do not want to keep. To activate
an instance you removed, click on its center again.

Keep Specification
When you pattern a feature, the pattern instances appear
identical to the original feature. Use the Keep specifications
option to maintain the design intent of the original.
In the example below, the pad is created with an Up to Surface
depth. If the Keep specificationsoption is not selected, the
pattern instances retain the state of the original feature during
pattern creation.

Introduction to Transformation Features (1/2)As you create a
model, you may need to occasionally move features. This is
accomplished using transformation features. These features enable
you to move a body by translating it along an axis, rotating it
round an axis, or moving it symmetrically about a plane.
There are three types of transformations features:
A. TranslateB. RotateC. Symmetry

geometry as it moves; it only affects the location. The Scaling
transformation feature, however, scales the geometry using a center
point and a ratio value.

Using Transformation Features
Transformations are useful when you have created some geometry
and you decide that it needs to be moved or rotated into a specific
position.
There are some cases where it is not easy to create geometry in
the expected plane because it requires the use of geometry not in
that plane. You can create the geometry in a different plane, then
rotate or translate it to its required position.

Translation (1/2)The Translation tool allows you to move a body
in a linear direction. You may define the translation vector in the
following three ways:
A. Direction, distance Moves the body a distance along a
linear
direction defined by a reference, such as an edge or plane.
B. Point to point Moves the body from one point to
another. The relative position of the body with respect to the
end point is the same as it was with respect to the start
point.
C. Coordinates Moves the body with respect to a
Cartesian coordinate system.

Differences in Transformations
Transforming a body can be done using the transformations tools
or using the compass. Using the compass to move items is discussed
in an upcoming lesson.
Immediately upon selecting any transformation tool a Question
panel appears, as shown below.
Selecting Yes will proceed to the use of the Transformation as
selected. The message in the panel reminds you that you can also
transform a body by using the Compass. This is useful since you
cannot use a Transformation to transform sketched geometry, but you
can using the Compass.

Scaling the Part to Define Mold Shrink
A part gets scaled differently depending on the type of element
used as the reference.If a point is used, the scaling is done using
the same scaling ratio in all three directions.
In the design of the model for an injection molded plastic part,
the design part will often be scaled up to account for material
shrinkage upon cooling. Depending on the material, the part may
shrink by different amounts in each direction.
In these situations, you cannot use a point as the reference.
You must use a plane or planar face features. This will scale the
part only in a direction normal to that plane. You can then do
three separate scaling transformations in each of three directions
which will properly define the shrink in all three directions.

Copy and Paste (4/4)Features can also be copied between separate
part files. The procedure is the same as copying and pasting within
a single part.To perform this operation, you need to pay attention
to the references that were used to construct the original feature.
In order for the paste to be successful, the same type of
references must also exist in the target part file; otherwise the
pasted feature will fail.
Some references are considered equivalent. For example, instead
of selecting a face on the PartBody in the target part to paste the
pad feature, you can select a surface to paste to. What this does
is change the sketch support of the pads sketch to the surface you
just selected.

Introduction to Catalogs (2/2)In Part mode, features can be
stored as power copies or user features.
A User Feature is a group of feature(s) that exist as one
entity. When placed in a model it is represented by a single
feature.
A Power copy is also a group of feature(s) that exist as one
entity. However when placed in a model the original order and state
of the features are preserved. This gives better flexibility in
terms of modifiability after placement of the power copy.
These two are stored in the part they were created in, but also
can be saved into a catalog. Instantiating the items can be done
from the stored catalog or the part the power copy and user feature
were created in.

Power Copy (1/3)A power copy can consist of a feature or group
of features. It differs from a typical copy because it allows the
user to address references of the copied features when pasting it
into its new location. The references are controlled through inputs
and parameters.
Use the following steps to create a power copy within a
part:
1. Click Insert > Knowledge Templates > power copy.
2. The Powercopy Definition window opens at the Definition tab
where you can customize the name of the power copy and select the
features to include.

Exercise 6E (1/3) In this exercise, you will open an existing
part file and manipulate instances of a pattern.
1. Open Ex6Econeholder.CATPart. Open an existing part file using
the Open
tool and investigate the features in the specification tree.
2. Edit the pattern and remove instances. Remove two instances
of the pattern by
clicking on the pattern instance dots. Note that the fillet
feature will fail because it was created after the pattern feature.
Removing instances of the pattern also removes references for the
fillet feature. Select Edgefillet.10, select Edit, and select OK to
remove the missing references. Select OK to the Edge Fillet
definition dialog box.

Case Study: Reusing DataYou will practice what you learned by
completing the case study model using only a detailed drawing and
hints as guidance.
In this exercise, you will create the case study model. Recall
the design intent of this model: The side fins should be created by
a rectangular pattern. The hole pattern should be created by a user
pattern The model should be partially created by copying and
pasting features The model should include features from a
catalog.
Using the techniques you have learned in this and previous
lessons, create the model without detailed instruction.
