Efficient design and administration
of fasteners in CATIA
Designing complex joining elements for sophisticated products is often a challenge, irrespective of industry sector. With CENIT’s FASTJOINT software, all relevant data relating to fastener elements can be displayed in a 3D model, providing simple but efficient support during the design phase.
The ability to manage data associatively, directly within the product’s assembly group model, enhances the quality of the assembly documentation. It also simplifies change management. The product model-integrated management of fasteners permits cross-board, automatable reuse of data in downstream assembly planning and manufacturing processes. This is made possible by manual or automated assembly processes.
Product Features / Benefits:
- Intuitive, centralized work environment for fastener management
- Supports change management workflows via controlled exchange and modification of individual fasteners or fastener groups
- Flexible linkages to customer-specific standard-part catalogs
- Targeted consistency checks to verify that the fasteners in use are complete and unambiguous
- Efficient re-use of model-integrated fastener data during assembly planning and manufacture
- Using CENIT’s FASTTIP software, fastener data can be used directly and very comfortably for offline programming of automated assembly facilities
- Consistent and product-associative data structure based on CATIA objects
Customer Benefits:
- Fully integrated in CATIA and DELMIA V5
- Full consistency of fastener data from initial design to physical manufacture
- Highly intuitive, user-friendly work environment congruent with CATIA philosophy
- Comfortable automation features for managing design changes
- Maximum performance thanks to permanent logical referencing between individual fasteners, as well as between fasteners and the associated components
- Avoidance of manual re-entry of data
- Redundancy-free data management
