Importing the Sub-Assembly Model into the 3DExperience This is the main reason the 3DCS data and the CAD data have to be separated before importing into CATIA V6. The best way to think of it, is that the 3DCS Simulation is added to a model as a separate item within the 3DExperience, and so is stored separately from the raw CAD data.

This means that the 3DCS data cannot be stored in the CAD Product itself, and has to be stored separately as a Manufacturing Simulation. REMEMBER: CAD Products are stored in V6 in a database, and not as files. This is important when bringing everything into CATIA V6. This will export the DCS data as a separate file, while clearing it off of your model, essentially separating your CAD model and your 3DCS data.



Moving 3DCS Models from CATIA V5 to CATIA V6 In this Tips and Tactics, we explore the methods of sub-assembly tolerance analysis modeling when using 3DCS for V6 in the 3DExperience, starting with the process of bringing 3DCS models from CATIA V5 into CATIA V6. Sub-Assembly Modeling in CATIA V6 for the 3DExperience The shift in the 3DExperience to using Manufacturing Simulation for Dimensional Analysis changes the way 3DCS stores data and creates simulations.
