3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x: Advanced Part Design 1–4 © 2023, ASCENT - Center for Technical Knowledge® Parent-Child Relationships Which parent-child relationships work the best? Which parent-child relationships should be avoided? As mentioned earlier, parent-child relationships are established when selecting the sketch support, as well as all other references throughout the creation of a feature (e.g., dimensioning, using or offsetting edges, or the depth option). Depth Options Which limit type should be used to create features? The selection of the limit type affects the feature. Always consider the consequences if additional features are added or if other dimensions in the model are modified. Remember that some depth options result in parent-child relationships (e.g., Up to next, Up to plane, or Up to surface). Formulas Should any formulas be added? Formulas are user-defined mathematical equations used to capture and control design intent in a model. In 3DEXPERIENCE, you can use formulas in features, parts, and assemblies. Feature Order Which feature order best captures the design intent? The feature order of a model is important. For example, should a hole be placed before or after a Shell feature? Consider this type of question from the beginning to the end of the modeling process. Use the specification tree to easily review the feature order at any time during model creation. Multi-body Typically, all of the features that you create are added to the PartBody in the specification tree. This linear tree structure is acceptable for models with a low feature count or simple geometry. 3DEXPERIENCE enables you to create multiple bodies in a single 3D Part or a 3D Shape model. This enables you to structure your model based on your design intent. An important reason for creating multiple bodies is to be able to use the Boolean commands.
