Catia V6 Software Free Download Windows 7

i would like the opinion of some Catia V5 surfacing guru. I just had a conversation with a master of class A surfacing on Catia V5 and his assessment was that Rhino to Catia in STP ( forget IGES it s crap we all know that ) the rhino surfaces are not that great. Work needs to be redone in some instances.
From my experience I didn t find it horrible. I was pretty satisfied ( maybe I m not as perfectionist as others or I m completely missing something) But are there any Catia V5 surfacing guru who sees that working with Rhino surfaces is not ideal ? and why exactly ?
Yeah i Guess you guys are right. I also had in the past had to clean up catia surfaces before sending it to a cnc. Too many gaps. I guess i m a bit paranoid. But one thing i noticed is that exported rhino surfaces are broken in multiple surfaces in Catia, whereas Alias surfaces come out really nice in Catia. Yet they re all Nurbs surfaces.
Agreed, i d like to look at the surfaces. I m surprised to hear that some experts in Catia say they need to rework rhino surfaces but are happy with Alias surfaces. They say rhino surfaces are broken down into much smaller ones in Catia.
We used Icem previously moving away from it due to the yearly maintenance costs, instead we purchased the Rhino plugins called VSR before they were purchased by Autodesk. We are also users of Catia, Unigraphics, Ideas and Creo.
The good point on Rhino is the direct and easy modification of a NURBS surface like in Blender and the easy transformation of a curve or surface from one degree to an other.
The good point on Catia was/is the easy analyse of the curveture by a section through the surface. But in those time Catia had problem generate or keep a closed a highlevel non-uniform surface pipe with a kink or without a kink. Every time it broke up the pipe by an Iso-line.
To add even more confusion I found that if I used code to generate my CATIA surfaces they sometimes seemed to be of higher quality with fewer IGES export issues that the same surface made the traditional way.
I remember wHen i imported Catia V 4 to rhino v3 and then rhino v4 it was a nightmare. I would import surfaces broken down into tiny tiny ones and hundreds to clean up as well. Catia v5 improved because it was working on windows platform wHereas catia V4 was Unix based. Airbus had huge problems with the a380 design because the french were using v5 and germans were on v4. I wonder how Alias does it. Never heard people complain when importing in CatiaV 5.

Eric N. RE: Dual monitor use? Configurator (Aeronautics)28 Feb 05 11:10I use two monitors like Jim. RE: Dual monitor use? IPGUY (Automotive)(OP)28 Feb 05 12:32Do any of you guys know if you can configure V5 to put all of your icons(and the windows they open) on one monitor and your data on the other? RE: Dual monitor use? catiajim (Aerospace)28 Feb 05 13:55Sure. Just detach them and drag them over. RE: Dual monitor use? IPGUY (Automotive)(OP)28 Feb 05 14:36Yea, but are they gonna stay put, or am I gonna have to do silly little back flips to make sure they do? RE: Dual monitor use? itsmyjob (Mechanical)28 Feb 05 14:45I guess we have to create an ENVIRONMENT for dual monitor, just to get the icon the right way. indocti discant et ament meminisse periti
Eric N. RE: Dual monitor use? IPGUY (Automotive)(OP)28 Feb 05 14:56How do you do that? RE: Dual monitor use? itsmyjob (Mechanical)28 Feb 05 20:02
First you work with 1 screen and define the ENV for this use. Then you use 2 screen (with very large resolution), move toolbars and define the ENV with those catsettings. indocti discant et ament meminisse periti
Eric N. RE: Dual monitor use? IPGUY (Automotive)(OP)1 Mar 05 06:54Pardon my ignorance, but where and how do you set this ENVIRONMENT? RE: Dual monitor use? itsmyjob (Mechanical)1 Mar 05 08:19Hi,
Have a look in your online doc... indocti discant et ament meminisse periti
Eric N. RE: Dual monitor use? catiajim (Aerospace)1 Mar 05 08:40If you work in a very large company (or even a small one with a Savvy CATIA Administrator), you do NOT want to be creating your own environment files! Talk to your Admin, and see if they will create one for you, as well as a startup that will point you to it. RE: Dual monitor use? IPGUY (Automotive)(OP)1 Mar 05 08:55Thank you all for all of your help on this subject. RE: Dual monitor use? lordrailie (Marine/Ocean)1 Mar 05 16:25We do work with two screens with catia.... and with everything..
One you usse it once, you cannot go back.
the larger the better.
But keep in mind that for dual screen with good performance you have to get a very nice graphic device..
its very good to have in one screen your model, and on the other one yor drafting sheet.. foer example, or an excel sheet, catia documentation...
we have been working on dual screens for mora than 6 years, and if you can its the way googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030293255-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.

When browsing the mail storage I see filenames containing ":" which is invalid for Windows. Dovecot uses it for adding some sort of status info to the filenames in the maildirs. I want to leave it that way. But Windows cannot read those files.
I've tried mangled names = Yes but that does only clobber up the filenames till unusuability. It converts all filenames with illegal characters into 8.3 format - we cannot use this for recovery. And I don't think it would have an effect on VFS settings anyway.
So why does samba not use the VFS module? I can see no errors about it in the logs. And "locate" reveals the respective library vfs_catia.so installed. The samba version is supposed to support this configuration according to docs:
Now you want to apply the downloaded patch to the file: source3/modules/vfs_catia.c in the samba-3.6.3 folder. I couldn't work out how to apply the diff using 'patch' so applied it manually - it's only 3 lines. Rebuild the samba package, in the samba-3.6.3/ folder:
Therefore I need to install Windows via Boot Camp because I've to run CATIA V5. The university told me, that some students had a few troubles with CATIA V5 running on a MacBook (I don't know which ones these were). They also said, that it worked fine but after an update of CATIA the troubles came accross.
I have a maccbook pro 13' retina, I run the CATIA V5R21 student edition on bootcamp windows 8.1 and the rmbp is powerful enough and it runs smoothly, the only trouble you will find is that CATIA is not available for windows 8, therefore there is no support if you find any errors. Nevertheless I haven't had any problems so with that so far. The only real problem I had is that windows has some troubles adjusting the resolution for the retina display and the menus appear very small for some progrmas but adjusting the resolution to something no retinish works.
Hello! I have a dilemma and I would be very grateful if you could help me.As I wish I could buy a new laptop, tempts me greatly MacBook, the problem is I pretty much use 3D modeling programs and I saw that there Catia V5 software for eg Mac.What advised me, to take my macbook and to put Windows on it so I can have the programs I need or I buy a laptop with Windows? Thank you!
If your CATIA icons have lost their default CATIA icon symbols and a preview thumbnail of the part is not available in Windows Explorer, there is a fix available. While this could be a symptom of having multiple versions of CATIA installed (read our previous post if this is the case) or due to an update of CATIA, if you have one version of CATIA installed it could be due to a system change or file/folder change on windows that has initiated the issue.

Furthermore, the default OLE behavior of certain document types has changed. For example, what happens when double-clicking a CATPart document in the Windows Explorer depends on which product lines have been installed. For example, if only CATIA is installed, the CATPart will be opened. However, if you installed ENOVIA DMU Navigator after installing CATIA, the default behavior associated with double-clicking a CATPart in the ENOVIA DMU Navigator context will be used. In this case, the CATPart must be inserted into a product, not opened. For 32-bit and 64-bit Applications on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, this is the original path for 64-bit applications:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
by Windows. 64-bit applications simply access the registry with an unchanged path. The integration of the following key lets you import nodelock licenses by double-clicking the license certificate file in the Explorer:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CATIA.Licensing
