What is the Ordered Geometrical Set (OGS)?
The Ordered Geometrical Set in CATIA V5 is a feature that allows designers to manage and organize their geometry within a part or shape file sequentially. Unlike the traditional Geometrical Set which doesn’t follow a specific order, OGS enforces an ordered structure, meaning each element is created and edited in a defined sequence. This ordered approach is crucial for complex designs that involve numerous features, as it allows you to control dependencies, maintain relationships, and prevent errors during model modifications.
Benefits of Using Ordered Geometrical Set
- Enhanced Control over Model Elements:
OGS provides a sequential, structured way to manage elements, ensuring clear and reliable dependencies.
- Easier Editing and Updates:
Since each feature is linked to prior elements, changes in one element automatically update dependent ones. This reduces rework time and minimizes errors.
- Improved Visualization and Organization:
The sequential order keeps the model tree clear, making it easier to locate and edit individual components or steps in complex models.
- Dependency Management:
By following a defined order, OGS reduces issues like circular dependencies and ensures stable relationships between elements.
