Catia Exercises

This document provides exercises for learning Part Design fundamentals in CATIA V5R8. It includes instructions for building a lever and connector housing through a series of steps. The lever exercises practice sketching and features to create the part. The connector housing exercises guide the user through the design process of creating the main features, dressing up the part with fillets, drafts and shells, and then modifying the part. The goal is to learn CATIA part design tools and techniques.

Master Exercise
Connector Housing: Presentation
70 min.

In this exercise you will build a housing connector from


scratch following the recommended design process:
Create and combine features, and modify the part using
Sketcher and Part Design tools

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Design Intent: Connector Housing


The connector housing is a molded part that is used in an assembly
The part is not symmetrical
The profile of the main pad is sketched on the YZ plane
The catch is centered on the base
Counterbored through holes with same radius
The detent pocket and the clip are equally positioned
Most surfaces are drafted
Fillets radii are constant except for corners
Wall thickness is constant

Clip
Standoffs

Hole

Catch
Detent

Design Process: Connector Housing

Extruding profiles to create main pad


and other features

Filleting, drafting, and


shelling the part

Editing features to
modify the part

Master Exercise
Connector Housing (1) : Creating Features
15 min.

In this step you will:


Create the 4 main features making up the connector:
- the main pad
- the Catch
- the Detent Pocket
- the Clip

Do It Yourself

Load: CATPDG_Ex_Connector_Housing_Step1.CATPart

Create the four features of the connector:


1. Main pad: 70mm long from the connector profile
2. Catch: at 35mm from yz plane, 16mm centered on offset plane
3. Detent: 9.5mm long pocket 20mm forward of the back face of the main pad
4. Clip: 3mm long
