DESCRIPTION
It shows how to create power copy in simple method. And also sectioning of assembly.

Create your own Power CopyIn CATIA you can create your own Power Copy’s.
These can be fairly intricate operations…
Follow these steps to create a simple power copy and try to expand on this yourself adding more
features as you go…
Start with a new part and a pad
Create a 3D point on one of the faces
Create a sketch on that same face and create a circle that’s centre is constrained to the
3D point created. Add a diameter dimension to the circle
Exit Sketcher
Create a simple pocket
On the bottom edge of the pocket create a chamfer
Now say you have to create lots of these… you don’t want to have to go through the same
process over and over again… This is where we will use the Power Copy to speed things up a
little.
Go to Insert > Knowledge Templates > Power Copy…
Now you need to select what you want to include in your Power Copy
Select the Pocket.1, Sketch.2(sketch for the pocket) and the Chamfer.1
You will see on the right, in order to create the Power Copy you will need a pad face and a
3D point
Click OK
Create another 3D point on a face where you want to create this pocket and chamfer
again
Click Insert > Instantiate from selection
You now need to make two selections the face and the newly created point
Click OK and see your power copy
You can do this a few times

Using the Sectioning Tool (DMU Space Analysis) TEKnow TipsThe Sectioning tool from the Space Analysis toolbar can be valuable for interior details of assemblies
within the Assembly Design workbench.
The Sectioning tool differs from the Dynamic Sectioning tool accessible from the Part
Design workbench.introduced in CATIA V5 R20
Accessing the Sectioning Tool
The Sectioning tool is located on the toolbar of the same name. By default, this toolbar is located with
the icons along the bottom of the interface.
Can’t find the icon? Right-click on any toolbar. Inspect the list of available toolbars for the option Space
Analysis
IF the option Space Analysis is missing from the pop-up menu, the license you are currently using does
not include this tool
IF the checkmark is missing from beside Space Analysis in the pop-up menu, click Space Analysis to
activate the toolbar.
However, if the Space Analysis toolbar is verified to be available and activated, there may be insufficient
room on the bottom of the interface for the icon to be visible.
Notification of Icons hidden due to insufficient room is provided by the >> symbol indicated above.
By repositioning tool bars, the Sectioning tool is revealed
Using the Sectioning Tool
Select the Sectioning tool to activate Section display
The Section plane will display associated with a default reference plane and a sub-window allowing view
of the resulting cross-section will appear.
A variety of Sectioning Definition styles are available for use including:
1. Section Plane (default)
2. Section Slice
3. Section Box
Toggling the Volume Cut option on the Definition tab allows activation of a cutaway display in
the Section, in addition to the Cross Section creation.
Manipulating the Section (Section Plane)
The Section may be further manipulated by clicking and dragging along the sensitive elements of
the Dynamic Section Compass as you would with the Model Compass
For example, clicking and dragging along the w-axis allows dynamic review as the section updates on the
fly.
Positioning the Section
Sections may be easily oriented along any of the 3 default planes by selecting the X, Y or Z normal
constraint.
Additional Positioning options include:
1. Edit Position and Dimensions: for position adjustments through numerical input
2. Geometrical Target:: for positioning a Section relative to selected geometry (useful for hole and cylinder
inspection)
3. Positioning by 2/3 Selections: for positioning a Section relative to selected lines (2 selections) or
vertices (3 selections
4. Invert Normal: for controlling the viewing direction of the Section
5. Reset Position: restores the section alignment to the X normal at 0,0,0
