Catia product knowledge template

Scripting templates for a complete solution. Ability to create, modify and delete geometry publication make geometrical features available to different users. ATIA - Product Knowledge Template Definition 2 PKT is applicable for all designers and engineers who need to capture design data and methodologies for multiple reuse scenarios across projects, or in the definition of highly customizable intelligent template catalogs to encapsulate corporate standards.

Templates can be extracted from existing feature, part and assembly designs or created specifically. They can contain not only geometry, but also any associated parameters or relations, including embedded intelligence of design rules, design tables and checks, providing the ability to encapsulate the specifications of sophisticated adaptive features. Editing and maintenance of Product Knowledge Templates The management of captured knowledge is facilitated through the ability to edit and maintain templates in the same easy and intuitive, interactive way used to modify any CATIA part design.

This requires no programming skill and allows templates to be easily adapted to the changing requirements of the organization, accommodating improved methodologies or changed legislative or customer requirements. Product Knowledge Templates management Once defined, these intelligent, adaptive templates can be shared across the extended enterprise through catalogs. This facilitates standardization of design methodologies and capture of corporate knowledge capital, without the need for advanced programming skills.

For reuse, a defined Product Knowledge Template offers the end user a single entity, with a predefined set of inputs, for maximum understanding and ease of use. Scripting templates for a complete solution Using a simple and declarative language, the user can describe in text format geometric specifications, transformation and positioning specifications including assembly constraints , and knowledge specifications. Moreover, to keep the creation of scripts simple, powerful Knowledge Templates can be used as any script objects.

At the same time, it restricts their ability to fully examine the intellectual capital, protecting the know-how of the creating organization while still facilitating its reuse. This significantly improves design productivity and can promote standardization of design methodology. Product Highlights Maximizes design and know-how re-use.

Deploys best practices. Protects intellectual assets. Product Key Customer Benefits Maximizes design and know-how re-use Part and assembly templates are instantiated in context and automatically created. During the instancing, the user is asked to select new geometry or parameter. Once the input specifications are defined, they are generated in the specification tree and the relevant geometry is created in context.

Part and assembly templates are adaptative. Instancing and generation consider the intelligence built into the template when adapting the result to its usage context. This allows rules to dictate the configuration of the resulting feature based on the input parameters and geometry references.

The generated templates retain their intelligence within the tree specification. Hence, any modification to the input parameters or geometric references, as the design matures, are immediately taken into account within the template. The regeneration will adapt the feature to the new input conditions.

These changes could be manual values entered by the user for the feature or propagated from other elements of the design. Deploys best practices
