Creating a high quality CAD model
is not only one of the most time
consuming and costly part of the
new product development process
but it is also most critical. Companies
rely on these models to create the
products that are the lifeblood
of their business. Given the complexity
of modern design, as well as the
many powerful technologies used
in this process and the pressures
of getting new products to market,
it is not surprising that errors
occur regularly in new models.
Q Checker is a management system for product data quality. It allows defining sets of checks and rules (so called check profiles), which assure that a CATIA model meets all the specifications and requirements, which are necessary in the usage of the following processes. Q Checker is designed as an easy to use tool for the daily work of a designer. Q- checker has currently nearly 300 checks and rules, lots of them with automatically healing functionality. The batch ability and the additional product Q- monitor, which allows to do statistical analysis on the quality of data, helps to control the product data quality all over the process chains including the supply chain. Q-checker is available for all CATIA V5/V4 platforms. |

Q Monitor : Q-Monitor is a tool for CAD model quality assurance with a scope of operation not limited to a single project or a single company. Its report results can be used to determine where targeted action for better model quality should be taken.
Q-Monitor operates in conjunction with Q-Checker. To name only some of the ways Q-Monitor reports can be used, they make visible the evolution of model quality over a period of time, provide a quality status survey of all models included in a project at a fixed point in time, or allow determination of the general faults that occur most often.
Q-Monitor's role consists of statistical interpretation of the data resulting from Q-Checker's CAD model evaluations which are stored in a relational database (Oracle, DB2, MySQL or other).

CATIA V5 solutions for car design and legal compliance
"CATIA V5 - Automotive Extensions - Vehicle Architecture" (CAVA) resulted from a common venture of Transcat PLM and the German car manufacturers. International rules, norms and standards are provided during the entire design process - from the concept phase to the homologation. CAVA is a feature-based and associative technology integrated with CATIA V5.
Throughout the development stage, new car design must comply with legislation and guidelines in the countries where they are licensed. In a joint venture with German car manufacturers, Transcat has developed a solution to these demands - fully integrated into CATIA V5. CAVA is now available throughout the world as a V5 AddOn product.
CAVA products offer the user new V5 CAVA features via intuitive menu operations, which correspond to the V5 feature in terms of handling. These features display the requisite standards information geometrically within CATIA V5 and are saved on CATPart levels.
CAVA products offer a complete set of easy to use features covering rear view mirror, viewing fields, security belts, underfloor clearances, lamp positions, pedestrian protection, and much more. Each function contains the different values and settings that are determined by local authorities and described in norms like: ECE, EWG, SAE, FMVSS and others. These pre-configured standards are built into CAVA and can easily be administered and extended to company-specific settings.
In general CAVA covers two areas. First, CAVA creates reference or help geometry representing design space, clearance areas, or fields of vision required to support draft and design. Second, since this help geometry is generated from the established standards, any existing or new geometry can be verified against these standards. With these capabilities, CAVA is very useful through the entire development process of a car:
|
|
 |
During the draft phase to provide the boundaries for several design aspects; |
|
During the entire design to automatically check for legal conformity and report deviations; |
|
Before homologation to validate that standards have been followed and to create required reports |

The platform independent start environment for CATIA V5.
myV5 offers a very simple and consistent graphical user interface (GUI) to launch CATIA V5 for all platforms. The user simply selects the CATIA release, the environment and the desired add-on application(s). The easily configured user management system defines everything
from permissions to license environments - depending on the customer
and the user.
*works with V4 also, like any other program
