Updating an Assembly

This task will show you how to update an assembly.

Updating an assembly means updating all elements affected by this functionality, see Assemb

Updatereference information.

You can update automatically or not your assembly, see Assembly Design-Updateoption.

You can define the update propagation in the assembly, see Assembly Design-Updatepropagationoption.

You can compute the update status when you open an assembly document or insert anassembly component, see Assembly Design-Compute exact update status at openoptio

When you are opening an assembly document or inserting a component:

In DesignMode, the update status can be determined, the Update Allicon or the

Updatedicon is displayed.

In VisualizationMode: the update status cannot be determined, the StatusUnknown ico

is displayed. When you click this icon, the minimal data needed to determine the updatestatus are loaded:

If the minimal data loaded to determine the status allow the application to perform anupdate and if the Updateoption is Automatic, then the assembly is updated, the Updat

icon is displayed.

If the status is not up to date, the Update Allicon is displayed. When you click thisicon, the needed data to perform the update are loaded, then the assembly is updated, t

Updatedicon is displayed.

To perform this task you must work in Visualization Mode, select the Tools->Options...command.In the Infrastructurecategory, select the Product Structuresub-category then the Cache

Managementtab and check the option Work with the cache system. Close and re-open theapplication if needed.

Open the Assembly_01.CATProductdocument.

The Update StatusUnknown icon is displayed because there is not enough information todetermine the update status of assembly's elements: the constraints reference assembly

components which are in Visualization Mode.

Creating Welds

Weld Design lets you model welds in assemblies. The different types of welds you can create aresimple (fillet) or butted (square butt, V-butt, bevel butt and so on) and are supported in ANSIstandard.

To create a weld, you need to determine the following via a Creation dialog box specific to each we

type:Its parameters such as height, angle, surface shape, annotation display and so on. They arall available in the Parameters tab of the creation dialog box.

The reference geometry, that is the components to be welded, see Geometry to be used fo

Creating Welds.

Its type (dashed or not): use the Type tab.

Its associated material: use the Material tab.

Its location in the specification tree: use the Connection tab (Joint and Joint Body options).

Weld features are associative with the reference geometry. This means that if geometrical elemenchange, weld features reflect the change.

Managing Coincidence Constraint

This task consists in applying a coincidence constraint between two faces and modifying the constraintspecifications. See Coincidence Constraintsreference.

Before constraining the desired components, make sure it belongs to a component defined as active (thactive component is blue-framed and underlined).

Open the Constraint1.CATProductdocument.

1. Click the Coincidence Constrainticon:

2. Select the face to be constrained, that is the red face as shown.

3. Select the second face to be constrained, that is the blue circular face in the direction opposite

the red face.
