Are there any Boeing MR&D/Catia Tooling designer-tech-type folks on this board?

I gotz questions...

I'm a contractor currently working in the mechanical systems lab and use CATIA V5.  I was a tooling engineer there (B2, F-22 and 777) when I first graduated college and maintain contact with a few former co-workers in the area. ....What do ya need ta know?

Shoot, I thought there was only maybe 150-160 of us Boeing people here, I was wrong, theres 151-161! Sorry, no Catia here, system engineering!

I hate that god damned Enovia/Catia/Delmia system.

This board just became very useful...kinda surprised me.

Huge thanks to all...one in particular.

Demonstrates yet again what a great bunch of people are on the Arfcom WAHTF board.

I don't have much experience with the Enovia collaborative software or Delmia simulation software.  Most of my experience is with Catia V5 from release R7 through to R17.

I assume that Enovia runs similarly to a Solidworks PDM vault software and Delmia is similar to a Solidworks/Cosmosworks FEA & simulation software but I am not sure.

Hey, Getnlwr...if you think Catia V5/Enovia/Delmia software on MS Windows is a PITA, you should've seen Catia V4.2.4 in Solaris UNIX!

I just wish I still had my CATIA V5 node lock license.  I could design stuff while waiting for my MIL to finish the Thanksgiving turkey.

I'd pay money to do what they pay me to do.  I'm blessed.

Well.....  Except for the ENOVIA part....

You picking on me?



If you think 4.2.4 was bad you should try being stuck doing wiring on it for ~12 years (and counting).

Not picking on you...the transfor/translate function in V4 totally rocks for 2D kinematics analysis...

Anyway, my condolences...

I dont have any experiance wilt Unix. I was told by some of the older people here that what were are using has gotten WORSE by a large majority.

I deal with Delmia about 4 hours out of my day and I hate it.

Yeah, I'm not too enamored of Dassault...and they really gheyed the living shit out of Solidworks with release 2008...

We run on 32 and 64-bit Windows workstations, but our stuff is still managed by a Sun Microsystems Solaris UNIX master server running Solaris 10 and our stuff gets saved on a UNIX RAID with a SAMBA 3 filesystem on it and rsync'ing to a back-up.

There was a lot of stuff I enjoyed about V4 Solaris was a rock-solid OS and being a closet Linux whore I loved the UNIX file-structure and command-line interface.

V5 on Windows has it's own advantages as well...great with drawings and I like the "snap" functionality.
