Plugin for CATIA

Features

  • It is possible to start all eAssistant calculation modules directly from CATIA.
  • Based on the calculation, external and internal spur and helical gears can be generated automatically as a feature-based 3D part in CATIA.
  • It is possibible to create a gearing on an existing part.
  • A simple mouse-click allows to add all necessary manufacturing data of a gear wheel to the drawing.
  • Solid and hollow shafts with an unlimited number of cylindrical and conical shaft segments can be generated.
  • The calculation information is saved in the 3D model and is available at any time.

Description

By using this plugin, it is possible to start all eAssistant calculation modules directly from CATIA through a CATIA macro.

Based on the eAssistant calculation in the module "Spur gear pair", internal and external spur and helical gears can be created automatically as a feature-based 3D part in CATIA. Addendum chamfer, profile shift modification, tolerances and shaft bore will be considered in the calculation and modelling. The gears include the accurate tooth form.

In order to support an effective design and development process, the calculation data will be saved in the 3D model and are available at any time.

The plugin provides a very fast and comfortable generation of 3D shafts. The geometry of the shaft can be defined very easily. A simple mouse-click starts the automatic generation in 3D. Solid and hollow shafts with an unlimited number of cylindrical and conical shaft segments can be created as a 3D part.
