3D XML
|
EXtensible Markup Language. A
universal, lightweight, XML-based format that enables users to capture
and share live, accurate 3D data quickly and easily.
3D XML compresses highly complex data, provides rapid file transmission
and shorter load times while maintaining the exact geometry of the files
exchanged. |

 |
| bend table |
A table defining
standards for sheet metal parameters in CATIA Generative Sheet Metal Design
workbench. They are used to reflect what can be manufactured in a given
company. |
C
|
|
|
| CGM |
Computer Graphics
Metafile. An ANSI/ISO standardized platform-independent format used for
the interchange of vector and bitmap data.
|
| CGR |
CATIA Graphical
Representation. A data format containing a graphical representation of
the geometry only, which is available with the Visualization mode (as
opposed to the exact geometry, which is available with the Design mode).
With CGR, only the external appearance of the component is used and
displayed; the geometry is not available. The corresponding .cgr file,
if it exists, is inserted from the cache system. |
| catalog |
A CATIA tool storing
and classifying objects, each with its own specific characteristics (such
as shape, color, size, diameter, length, standard, etc.) so that they can
be retrieved fast and easily. |
| check in operation |
A lifecycle operation that checks in:
-
a new object and places its file in the SmarTeam Checked
In vault, or
-
a checked out object (being modified) and places the
file back in the SmarTeam Checked In vault.
|
| check out operation |
A lifecycle operation that retrieves files from the
SmarTeam Checked In vault. It is the first operation to do prior to making
modifications to a file that is checked in to the SmarTeam vault. |
| class |
A set of objects that share common structure and common
attributes. Every engineering entity is an object that can be classified.
|
D
|
|
|
| default |
An operation or value
that the system or application assumes, unless a user makes an explicit
choice. |
| desk |
A CATIA tool that lets
you view the relationships between different documents and obtain
information about their properties. |
|
design table |
A table containing
values to be potentially applied to a document to manage its parameter
values. It can be created from the document parameters or from an external
file. A design table is a feature. In the document specification tree, it
is displayed as a relation that can be activated or deactivated. Like any
feature, a design table can be manipulated from its contextual menu. The
evaluation method is based on a table (Excel or .txt file). |
| dialog box |
A window that gathers
additional information from a user. A dialog box usually contains one or
more controls, such as buttons, list boxes, combo boxes, and edit boxes,
with which the user enters text, chooses options, or directs the action of
the command. |
| document |
A common unit of data
(typically a file) used in user tasks and exchanged between users. |
G
|
|
| geometry area |
Area of a document
window in which application data are displayed and edited. |
M
|
|
| model |
A CATIA Version 4
document. |
O
|
|
| object |
An entity or component
identifiable by a user that can be distinguished by its properties,
operations, and relationships. |
| obsolete |
An object assigned as
Obsolete can no longer be activated, released or modified. |
P
|
|
| part |
A 3D entity obtained
by combining different features. |
R
|
|
| release lifecycle operation |
A lifecycle operation
that changes the revision designation of a part. |
resolve
operation |
A CATIA operation that
generates the .CATPart documents referred to by part families or part
family components. |
S
|
|
| specification tree |
Area of the document
window reserved for viewing the design specifications of a part, presented
in the form of a tree structure. |
