Home () / CATIA V5 – Part Design Features Recognition

The Part Design Feature Recognition allows you to modify the model, although its initial specifications
are lost or not available. With this function, it is possible (at least partially) to recreate tree specs, which later
enable simpler modifications to the model.

The following simple example illustrates the basic elements of this function. The picture below shows a model
that does not contain the specifications of individual features in the tree (no history), which occurs when a
body is copied from one model to another without a link.

Shaft, Groove, Boolean, Draft). A hole (Holes) was selected on the picture below, then the cylindrical surface
of the hole was selected. To confirm, click Apply. The Hole.1 feature was added to the tree. The system does
not show a hole because it is automatically positioned in Solid.1. To see a hole, we need to position ourselves
in Body.1 (Define in wok object).

Publications and constraints cannot be identified during the recognition process. The sketch is created as
positioned and it is not associative. To make it associative it is necessary to link it to the planar surface of the
model or plane.

 
In the same way, it is possible to recognize fillets. It is necessary to mark Fillets in the menu and select the
surface. Here it is sufficient to select the front rounded surface and the system automatically recognizes the
other 4 surfaces that together with the selected one make a fillet. By clicking Apply, the command ends. If we
are now positioned in Body.1, the recognized hole and rounding are visible on the model as in the tree, so it is
possible to edit them.

Fillets that were then added to the tree.

In some cases, the automatic recognition of rounded or sloping edges will fail. This is due to the fact that
automatic recognition is closely related to geometric properties such as slope or proportion (in the case of
tilted edges). In the example on the picture below, the fillet (red) will not be automatically recognized due to a
small value of the angle. In order to solve this case, it is necessary to use the Manual Feature
Recognition function.

In addition to manual and automatic recognition of elements, by clicking on the Part Analysis it is
possible to graphically identify Fillets and Rounds. The Part Analysis Menu is divided into two parts, the left
part refers to the Rounds analysis and the right on the Fillets analysis. It is necessary to select the body and
choose the color.
