A
|
| absolute coordinates |
Coordinates that specify a location in relation
to the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0). |
| active body |
The body to which functional volumes and
features are "assigned" as they are created. |
| annotation |
An entity that provides information for the drawing. Texts
are annotation entities. |
B
|
| body |
A group of volumes and features combined to
represent a solid part or product. Any number of bodies can be in a single
model or file, but only one can be active at a time. Volumes and features
are automatically added to the active body. |
C
|
| constraint |
A geometric or dimension relation between two
elements. These relations are restrictions for these elements. |
D
|
| deactivate |
To suppress the behavior of an entity, visually and
geometrically. |
E
|
| extrude |
An operation that gives 2D objects depth (3D). |
F
|
| functional modeling |
Refers to designing a 3D digital model by using
tools with inherent behaviors, such as features and volumes, that interact
in specific ways. |
P
|
| part |
A 3D entity obtained by combining different
features. |
| pocket |
A feature corresponding to an opening through a
feature. The shape of the opening corresponds to the extrusion of a
profile. |
| profile |
An open or closed shape including arcs and
lines created by the profile command in the Sketcher workbench. |
| protected volume |
A 3D area of protected space within a body that
other entities within the same body cannot penetrate. |
S
|
| shell |
A hollowed out feature |
| sketch |
A set of geometric elements created in the
Sketcher workbench. For instance, a sketch may include a profile,
construction lines and points. |
V
|
| volume |
The solid material in a CATPart document. It
can also be the empty space inside of a shelled solid volume. |
