This task shows you how to generate and attach two possible
functional annotation types to any BiW weld fastener (spot point, curve
bead, etc.): series annotations and fastener annotations. |
|
This task also deals with:
|
|
Open the
ABF_AllTypeFast_02.CATProduct document. |
|
-
Click either BiW Weld Series Annotations
or BiW Weld Fastener Annotations
in the BiW Annotations toolbar.
The BiW Weld Series Annotation or BiW Weld
Fastener Annotation dialog box is displayed. |
You can notice that both dialog boxes are similar: |
|
|
-
Select a parameter in each field.
Attributes are displayed according to the standard.
Use the most recent standard to get the parameterization of the
functional annotations. If you use a former standard, fields are not
valuated and are set to User Value. |
|
Refer to Customizing the BiW Fastening Application
Standard File in the Automotive BiW Fastener User's Guide. |
- Field 1: (depending on the annotation type)
- Fastener Annotations: Fastener ID parameters
- Single ID, or ID and Process Type
- Series Annotations
- Joint Body -
[Number of Fasteners]
- Joint Body Name -
[Number of Fasteners]
- Joint Body Name -
Process Type
- Joint
[Number of Fasteners]
- Joint Name
[Number of Fasteners]
- Joint Name -
Process Type
- User Value
- Field 2: Engineering Class Parameters
- User Value
- Robustness or Finish or Regulation
- Field 3: Manufacturing Class Parameters
- User Value
- Geometry Flag or Inspection Flag or Manufacturing Code
- Field 4: Shape Parameters
- Diameter or Length or Height or Material
- User Value
- Field 5: information frame
- Joined Parts
You can choose to display:
- Joined Part Instance Names
- Joined Zone Names
- Joined Zone Material/Thickness
- Thickness Count
- Process Type
(in this case all parameters above said are unavailable)
- Process Type [Robustness] (that is Process Type and
Robustness)
(in this case all parameters above said are unavailable)
- User Value
(in this case all parameters above said are unavailable)

these options, refer to Displaying Joined
Parts Information in a Balloon. |
-
Point out a fastener in the 3D geometry or in the
specification tree.
The Welding creation dialog box is displayed: |
|
The dialog box updates as you fill in the fields. You can select
the symbols of your choice from the combo lists: they are not
associated with the Process Type. |
-
Click OK to create the annotation.
|

Modifying and Editing a Functional Annotation
|
|
- Functional annotations (except for datum associations) are
associative with their attached fasteners:
- if you modify the fastener's location or attributes (joined parts,
ID, process type, etc.) and the update the product, the annotation is
automatically re-positioned and updated.
- if you delete the fastener and update the product, the attached
annotation is automatically deleted.
- if you select the fastener, all associated annotations are
highlighted both in the 3D geometry and in the specification tree,
providing 3D-Annotation-Query switch On/Switch Off
is activated.
For further information, refer to
Querying 3D Annotations in the 3D Functional Tolerancing &
Annotation User's Guide. |
- You can modify an annotation either by:
- You cannot move an annotation independently from its annotation
plane.
|
|
Creating a Datum Annotation
|
|
- Datum annotations are not associative with their attached fasteners:
if you modify a fastener's parameter (location, process category, process
type, etc.) and update the product, it has no impact on the datum
annotation.
- Datum annotations can be moved anywhere in the geometry area as it
always remain in the annotation plane.
- They have a particular display in the specification tree:
