----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/catexport/text()[2]

CATIA V4 export file generated with CATEXP.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/catexport/read/text()[2]
 
V5 does not read export files from V4 because of internal project tables, can get an export to model translator from TransCAT -  contact kpage@transact-na.com


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/model/text()[2]

CATIA V4 .model format.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/model/read/text()[2]

A V4 model can be read with "file:open" or V4 read mode.
To translate the V4 part to other formats, it must first be converted to a V5 part.
Right-click on the V4 part and select 'COPY', open a NEW PART and PASTE the model to bring it into V5 environment.
With the newest versions of CATIA V5, the history (CSG) tree is carried along when 'PASTE SPECIAL' is used, but this does not seem to work in R5.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/model/read/drawing/text()[2]

V5 will drop all dimensions and text from drawings inside V4 model files that were not created from environments with the PROJ.MODEL enabled.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/stl/text()[2]

SLA mesh for rapid prototyping (RP).


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/format/stl/accuracy/text()[2]

The degree of accuracy for the STL mesh is the same as the '3D resolution' setting on the 'Leistung' tab of the OPTIONS box.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/install/text()[2]

For V5 startup in NT, system variables must be defined, pointing to the local/network setup and lisencing INI files (the configuration), as well as to the directories to be used as scratch storage and roll space.
There appears to be addional unkown registry entries that provide CATIA with information it needs to start.
     
The liscence package will not function if CATIA is installed in German. It is best to make installation as manual as possible, to avoid confusion with a German OS.
Success is achived always by installing, copying the backup, the deleting the install.


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/install/lisencing/text()[2]

The Product Lisencing is defined in the FILEs:
CATProduct.CATSettings 
Licensing.CATSettings
These files must be located inside the directory declared in the above REGISTRY VALUE as:
"CATUserSettingPath"="D:\\CATIA\\CATSettings"


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/config/text()[2]

CATIA V5 settings can be configured through the CATIA V5 Envirinment Editor.
CATIA 

----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/config/language/text()[2]

CATIA V5.3 derives its language setting from the Operating System's Country Settings.
CATIA's language will change automaticly when the LAND is changed (Control Panel).


----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/config/spaceball/text()[2]

To get the spaceball/Spacemouse working for V5, you must activate *both* the Spacemouse driver daemon and 'Virtual Reality Mode' (Found in the OPTIONS dialogue box).

----------------\_______________________________________________________________SYSTEM NODE >>> /system/kad/catia/v5/concepts/laws/text()[2]

I want to create a law
if ny>1 then 
n_dummy=ny-1
else
n_dummy =1
end if

How can I write the above rule in CATIA v5r12?
Instead of a law, create a RULE. First, make parameters for ny and n_dummy with some default values. Since I do not see any units, I would make them of the Real type. Then, go to the KWA workbench and create the Rule. The rule syntax could be written as simply as this:

If ny > 1
{
n_dummy = ny - 1
}
Else
{
n_dummy =1
}
