This task will show you how to apply a
transformation. This new capability enables you to combine rotation and
translation operations. You can therefore apply complex transformations:
- by entering the position values and specifying the axis angle values
- by selecting a geometric element to define the rotation axis and
entering the angle value (not described in this scenario)
|
 |
Open
Move.CATProduct document. |
|
-
Click the Translation or Rotation icon
.
|
 |
-
The Move dialog box is displayed.

|
 |
For an explanation of the parameters Apply
on leaf product and Relative move, see
Moving Components. |
 |
Case: You know the transformation to be
applied to the component
-
Click the Transformation tab.
-
Select the component to be applied a transformation, i.e.
GARDENA,NOZZLE_2_2.1
|
|
 |

 |
-
Enter values for dx (i.e. 0mm), dy (i.e. 100mm) and
dz (i.e.0mm) to define the translation.
-
Specify angle values for dRotX (i.e. 0deg), dRotY (i.e.
50deg) , dRotZ (i.e. 0deg) to define the rotation.
-
Click Apply.
The selected component is positioned accordingly (both translation and
rotation are applied to the component).
|
|
 |
|
-
Click Undo.
|
|
Case: You do not know the
transformation to be applied to the components
-
Click the Selection button.
-
Select the GARDENA,NOZZLE_2_2.1. axis system. When done,
select Part2 (Part2.1) axis system.
The calculation to move from GARDENA,NOZZLE_2_2.1 axis system to
Part2 (Part2.1) axis system is automatically performed as shown below:
|
|
Note: The Relative move option is not available when
using the Selection . |
|
-
In the specification tree, select the component to which
you wish to apply this transformation (e.g. Product2).
-
Click Apply .
This is what you obtain:
|
|
|
|
-
Click OK when satisfied.
