This task will show
how to translate a component:
The component to be translated must belong to the active component.
|
|
Open the
Move.CATProduct document, then select
Digital Mockup->DMU Navigator from the Start menu. |
|
-
Click the Translation or Rotation icon
.
|
|
The 3D compass is automatically snapped onto the referential axis of
the father part (the Product1 axis system).
The Move dialog box is displayed.
Either you specify an offset value between the element and the x, y or z
axis, or you select a geometric element to define the direction you need
(see Translate Components in the Assembly User's Guide). The
move is defined in terms of an offset along x, y or z axes. |
|
For an explanation of
the parameters Apply on leaf product and Relative move,
see Moving Components. |
|
|
|
-
Select the component to be translated,
e.g. GARDENA,NOZZLE_2_2.1
The 3D compass is automatically snapped onto the referential axis of
Product3, the father of GARDENA,NOZZLE_2_2.1 .
|
|
|
|
-
To define the translation, enter an offset value for x, y
or z in the Offset boxes e.g. 100 mm for y.
-
Click Apply.
The selected component is translated accordingly i.e. with respect
to Part.2 (Product3 axis system).
|
|
|
|
-
Click Invert to reverse the previous operation
and translate the component in the opposite direction.
The translation is reversed.
|
|
You can click
Apply as many times as you wish to translate the component to the
desired position. |
|
Selecting elements:
The move is defined by selecting elements or selecting an
element and entering a distance.
-
Click Selection to define your translation
with respect to a element. The Translation tab contents is
grayed.
-
If you select a line or a plane you also need to enter a
distance value. The translation is then done along the selected line or
normal to the selected plane. Selecting two faces or planes assumes these
elements are parallel. See Translate Components in the
Assembly User's Guide.
|
|
|
|
-
Click OK to close the dialog box.
-
Repeat steps 1 and 2; this time uncheck the Relative
move option.
|
|
|
|
-
Repeat step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
-
Click Apply.
The selected component is translated accordingly with respect to
Part.2 (Product1 axis system) this time.
|
|
Translation and
rotation operations are synchronized which means the values entered in the
Translation tab are kept in the Rotation tab. |
|
-
Now click the Invert button to reverse the
previous operation.
-
Uncheck the Apply on leaf product option.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
-
Click Apply.
The selected component is translated accordingly with
respect to the Root product Product1.
|
|
|
|
-
Click OK to close the dialog box.
|
|
You can translate
components for which geometric or assembly constraints have been defined
using the Shift key and the compass.
