The first V6 prototype engine was produced in 1906, however it took until 1950 for the first automotive V6 engine to reach production.
#Catia v6 assembly design how to#
I recommend to watch the video tutorial at the end of this article to see exactly, step by step, how to do an assembly in CATIA using Publication.V6 Engine Design in Catia | Advanced Assembly | CATIA TUTORIALSĪ V6 engine is a six-cylinder piston engine where the cylinders share a common crankshaft and are arranged in a V configuration. I repeat this step two times for both nuts. To do that I make also two constraints, one Axial coincidence constraint and one more Offset constraint. Now I want to make in contract with last washer first Nut.You must pay attention when you made an constraint (direction and if the offset must be negative or positive). I repeat for each Washer both constraints. To do that, I need to make two constraints, one Axial coincidence constraint and one more Offset constraint. After that, I want to put in contact with the Screw all Washers.To do that you must select first the screw and after that the Fix component button. First I make the screw fix using Fix component button. (be sure that you made public all features that you need to use for make all constraints). Now will make all necessary constraints.

I recommend using separated parts from file, although a part is identical. To do that, I click again on the Existing Component button and I insert these parts three more times for Washers and one more time for Nut. In my case I want to insert 4 Washers and 2 Nuts.

Be sure that you have selected the tree before or after press this button. To do that, you should use the button Existing Component from Product Structure Tools toolbar. Now you must insert from file the parts that you want to bring them into an assembly.Now, you must be sure that you have opened two toolbars, Product Structure Tools and Constraints.Using the menu go to File -> New -> Product and click OK.Now, I will show you step by step how to create an assembly in CATIA V5. To make public a feature like a point, axis system or line, you must navigate on Tools -> Publication and select all features that you want to make public. You must make public any feature of parts that you consider necessary to make an assembly. It`s very important to make for each part publication. My company use CATIA with some restriction when I speak about constraints in an Assembly module, what means that? If you use CATIA with any modification after installation, when you will try to make a Coincidence constrain CATIA it’s capable to recognize simple features like (intersection points, points, lines, axis) without any problem, but I my case, my company block this feature and I must build all this simple features and after that to use for assembly. How to use CATIA Assembly module using Publication features To learn how to use this module watch the below video.ĬATIA V5 Assembly Design without publicationĢ.
