Additional Product Information
Time-consuming input of data into the computer belongs to the past. The CATIA AddOn product CATVER by HAITEC will implement this for the customers. This software compares different versions and design stages and documents all geometrical changes both in CATIA models and in tables. ;;Apart from this, CATVER offers the functionality of the automatic orientation of surface lattice (all standard vectors will be aligned uniformly) as well as the automatic merges of surface boundaries to support the VOLUME definition. ;;A modular system comprised of an interactive CATIA application, user interface and CATIA batch processing functionality, you can deploy CATVER in different places in the process chain of the design workflow. Irrespective of where you implement it, CATVER will dramatically reduce your costs.;;"Who changed what and when was the change made?" is perhaps the most frequently asked question in the day-to-day life of every design engineer. CATVER selectively compares all standard 3D and 2D geometric elements in CATIA and stores the results of these comparisons in new models. With just a simple mouse click, all geometric and version changes are displayed on your screen, optionally via COLORS or PICK/NOPICK. Thus changes are immediately apparent and can be utilized in CATIA.;;Reliable, comprehensive identification of geometrical changes is in several respects critical to the product design and development process. For example, the duty to control and document changes and with regard to warranty obligations and product liability stipulations. In the daily business CATVER supports the designer including making cost and man-hour estimates for requirements with regard to changes. Furthermore it verifies in a reliable and fast way in which area of a design additional attention will be required or has already been required.;;With its capability of comparing DRAW elements, CATVER is also helpful in preparing and reviewing drawings. The comparison of areas and solids very often in practical applications, as these elements describe a component. CATVER analyzes these elements and marks the areas of the component which is situated outside a variable tolerance scale. This enables the designer to see precisely where an area or a solid element in the new version of a component leaves the tolerance zones defined for its previous element (the previous version of the component). ;;Advantages ;;Logging of all changes between two CATIA-models;Saving of costs due to discontinuance of manual comparisons;Documentation of changes;Automatic orientation of surface lattice - all standard vectors will be aligned uniformly;Automatic merges of surface boundaries to support VOLUME definition;Automatic generation of planar carrier surface (SURFACE) for planar FACE-elements;;;Modul SPACE ;;FACE (*FAC) ;SURFACE (*SUR), B-SURF ;PLANE (*PLN) ;VOLUME (*VOL) ;CURVE, ARC, SPLINE, SPLINE2 (*CRV), B-SPLINE ;CIRCLE (CIR*CRV) ;ELLIPSE (ELL*CRV) ;PARABOLA (PAR*CRV) ;HYPERBOLA (HYP*CRV) ;LINE (*LN) ;POINT (*PT) ;AXIS (*AXS) ;TEXT (*TXT-SPACE) ;SKIN (*SKI) ;SKIN (*SKD) ;CONSTRAINT (*CST) ;;;Module DRAW ;;CURVE (*CRVD) ;CIRCLE (CIRD*CRVD) ;ELLIPSE (ELLD*CRVD) ;PARABOLA (PARD*CRVD) ;HYPERBOLA (HYPD*CRVD) ;LINE (*LND) ;POINT (*PTD) ;TEXT, NOTE, T-NODE (*TXTD,*TXND) ;DIMENSION (*DIM) ;PATTERN, SHAPE (*SHAP) ;AXIS (*AXSD) ;;;Module SOLID ;;SOLIDS (*SOL) inclusive Primitive/Makro-Primitive ;POLYEDER-elements (*POL) ;Elements of FEA, PA3 and SOE are in preparation ;;;Module DETAIL ;;DITTO's (*DIT, *DITD) ;SYMBOLE (*SYMD) ;MODEL- OR LIBRARY-DETAILS ;
