edu are working code frameworks (a framework is the highest container for a group of functionnaly related objects in CAA) covering all examples for the encyclopaedia. Once there, take a look within CATIA_INSTALLATION_DIR/CAADoc : all the directories ending with. It should register the right stuff and pop up a blue CAA tips dialog box at next VS launch. You should have a checkbox with visual studio 2008 (if that's the version you need.) Check it and click Install. If after install you do not have anything popin up at VS launch, quit it and go to ENOVIA_STUDIO_INSTALLATION_DIR/intel_a/code/bin and launch CATVBTSetup. Now to get ready, you will need a Visual Studio (2008 for example if you are working between R20 and R24) on top of which you will install the ENOVIA STUDIO which is basically a set of addins within visual, that will allow you to create, check, test and compile source and resources. Main CATIA workbenches provide their own layer of APIs (Part Design, Assembly, etc.) Now there are many aspects you can work using CAA, almost all of them : from data model customization (Object Specs Modeler also called 'Features') to visualization through all aspects of geometry and topology. The entry point (for V5-6) is rather CATIA_INSTALLATION_DIR/CAADoc/Doc/online/CAACenV5Default.htm R18, you have to run the code in visual studio 2010.Unfortunately, like many proprietary APIs, it only comes with the software editor examples and documentation and lacks online community to help you getting started.įor CAA, we call the API documentation the Encyclopaedia. The only way I know to solve this problem is run the code again in visual studio 2012 environment, then the simulation works in Catia R20 or R21, but after that you can't run the simulation in Catia R18, if you want to revert back to the version When the breakpoint executes this sentence, variable theMechanism shows 'Nothing'. Here is the code : theMechanism = product1.GetTechnologialObject('Mechanisms') The 'Mechanisms' in the product of Catia. Through the breakpoint, I found out that the error was caused by the failure of acquiring In a different version, like R20 or R21, an error occurs. The process was completely smooth and successful, but when I tried to run it My problem is when I ran the simulation in Catia R18, My simulation is run in the dum kinetics module, the code was written in vb automation in
