2 NOMENCLATUR E
Nomenclature for files making up the assembly, (CATPart, CATProduct, V4 Models) is defined in the
procedure AP2610 Naming and numbering for new projects.
Nomenclature to be used on the different elements generated during the assembly activities
(Scenes, Interferences, Constraints, etc.), will be the default naming and numbering given by the
system.
The sequence of these parts in the specifications tree is shown in the image below:

After the above CATProduct creation steps have been completed, it is necessary to provide the
CATProduct with a Part Number as well as filling in the necessary data on the assembly: Revision,
Nomenclature, Source, Description, etc., for this purpose, select the properties section in the
deployable menu.

After the CATProduct has been created and the necessary properties have been changed, it has to
be saved in the user's modlocal directory: bdm/a3xxn/user. For this purpose, select the Save option
in the File menu.

The other procedure to insert elements into an assembly is inserting an existing component. This
component should be available in the Modlocal, because a Get or a Read from the VAULT has
alreadybeen performed on this component. Follow the steps below to include it:
• Select the Insert+Existing Component option, the window to insert an existing element
opens
• Search for the element to be inserted by means of a String search in the Modlocal directory
Component to be
inserted

Outcome of
operation
The following is the component insertion process in a multi-level assembly, distinguishing part
components insertion from assemblies insertion
The same process as that used for single level assemblies shall be followed for the insertion of part
elements:
• Sign out
• Open the work assembly
• Open the element to be inserted
• Split the screen into two windows

• Copy part component from its window and paste it in the work assembly
Two types of subassemblies are distinguished when they are to be inserted, small assemblies and
large assemblies. Small assemblies insertion shall be made by visualisation thereof and large
assemblies insertion shall be made without visualisation.
To open a CATProduct without visualisation, Options is selected from the Tools menu. Select
Product+Product Structure, from the window opening up and select option: Do not activate
default shapes on open as shown in image below:

• Along a direction.
• Supporting on flat surfaces.
• Supported on surfaces
• Locate the standard part in the tree in the traditional manner. It therefore stays in its 0,0,0
position.
• Approach it to the support by means of the snap option, selecting any point in the standard part
and any other point in the support.
• Position it in its final position using snap, constrains or compass.
• Select option fast multinstantiation definition and the following window opens up:

Dealing with flat surfaces, there are two positioning alternatives, depending on whether patterns
exist or not.
• Position the first standard part in the same manner as in the above paragraph (snap, constrains
or compass) located in the feature (hole) origin for the pattern. (It is assumed a pattern has been
created for each different type of standard part).

Should there be no patterns, standard parts are positioned one by one using constraints, snap or the
compass
First of all it is necessary to have the hole feature (in addition to the positioning point) created on the
support in each location the standard part is to be positioned, in order to facilitate the process.
• After the standard part to be positioned is located in the tree structure, it is approached to the
support by means of the snap function, selecting one point in the standard part and another one
in the support.
Note: If the surface was ruled, there is the possibility to use the multi- instantiation if standard parts
are located along one of the rules of the surface.
