Managing Large Assemblies
- Discuss different options available for working with large amounts of data in CATIA V5
- Discuss techniques for designing in context when working with large assemblies
- Discuss new functionality when creating drawings from large assemblies
5 Ways of managing data in CATIA V5
5 Ways of managing data in CATIA V5
- Show vs No Show
- Node Activation vs Node Deactivation
* Manages graphic representation
* Manages graphic representation
* Node deactivation – No graphic representation at all is loaded
* Node deactivation – No graphic representation at all is loaded
* Hide/Show – Hide graphic representation of specific elements in model
* Hide/Show – Hide graphic representation of specific elements in model
* Node Deactivation – Hide graphic representation of entire model \
* Node Deactivation – Hide graphic representation of entire model \
- Activate component vs Deactivate component
* Don’t confuse with Node Activation/Deactivation
* Don’t confuse with Node Activation/Deactivation
* Hides the graphic representation of the component
* Hides the graphic representation of the component
* Can use contextual menu, not recommended

* Use rules to have CATIA automatically toggle component activation
* Use rules to have CATIA automatically toggle component activation
- Visualization Mode vs Design Mode
Improves performance by not loading the mathematical data of the part into memory, only a visual of the geometry is loaded into memory
