How to use AUTO Constraint in CATIA V5?

AUTO Constraint in CATIA V5: Auto constraint is used to provide the constraint to the sketch. The constraints may be fixed constraint, length, angle, radius, diameter constraint etc. which are used to make the components stick at a position with respect to the coordinate system. In this article, I am going to explain the usage of AUTO Constraint in CATIA V5 in a detailed manner. The step by step procedure is to be needed to adopt the usage of AUTO Constraint in CATIA V5 and is as follows.

AUTO Constraint in CATIA V5-Procedure:

To use Auto Constraint in CATIA V5,

• Take any plane (Say XY Plane).
• Now draw the lines which may/may not join at the common point.
• After it, click on the Constraints button and choose the desired.
• Let it may be, the length of the section, fixing the section, coinciding the lines, tangency etc.

                          That’s it…this is the Auto Constraint which can adapt automatically w.r.t the situations.

How to use Trim Extend in CATIA V5?

Trim Extend in CATIA V5: Trim Extend is a feature in CATIA V5 which is used to Remove the unwanted Data and joins them if needed like joining lines which can form a rectangle or a square etc. The lines may be Straight, Curved, Angular etc. depending upon the construction. In this article, I am going to explain the usage of Trim Extend in CATIA V5 in a detailed manner. The step by step procedure is to be needed to adopt the usage of Trim Extend in CATIA V5 and is as follows.

Trim Extend in CATIA V5-Procedure:

To use trim extend feature in CATIA V5,

• Go to Insert-Operation-and finally trim extend option.
• Firstly, draw four lines in the form of a rectangle which is separated by some distances.
• Now, those four individual lines are joined together by means of trim extend feature.
• If there is no chance of adding a line to the existing curve to complete the path, then trim extend feature will be used.
• That’s it. This is the explanation of Trim extend feature in CATIA V5.

How to use Multi Section Solid in CATIA V5-Procedure:

             To use Multi Section Solid in CATIA V5,

• Firstly select a plane and let it be XY Plane.
• Now go to “ Start-Shape-Generative shape design”.
• Click on “Plane” button from tool bar and provide an offset distance w.r.t the chosen plane. Let it be 50mm.
• Now,to make a solid component by using Multi section solid, select the plane(selected primarily) and go to Start-Mechanical Design-Part Design to create a sketch on the plane.
• Let it be circle of required dimension that is drawn on the plane chosen.
• Now go to another plane which you had made and draw another sketch on it.
• As you had made two sketches on the respective planes, it’s the time to combine those sketches to form a solid and that will be done by choosing Multi section Solid from the toolbar.
• The detailed view of how to make a component from the reference planes is shown below in the form of  a video.
