A DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS ON METAL STRUCTURES

Abstract

The design activity using the CATIA program often encounters situations in which parts families must be created. They usually have the same constructive shape, but differ in size. Also, in the design of the assemblies it is useful to create dimensional links between two or more components, so that the modification of one of them leads automatically to the modification of the other. This mode of design involves advanced knowledge of modeling, programming and management of parameters and relationships, being called parameterized assisted design.
