Geometrical drawbeads with Design Table

CATIA V5 offers powerful functionality to modify existing geometry “from outside” via DESIGN TABLE. PAM DIEMAKER for CATIA V5 also supports this procedure with some prerequisites.

How to use Blank Holder functionality in PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5

This video shows how to use Blank Holder functionnality to create mono surface Blank Holder shapes and combination of several Blank Holder patches.

Delta T Offset For Bowing Effect in Assembly Process

In case of butt joint of two plates, in reality, there is an eccentricity e between the neutral phase of bending and the centre of the tendon force caused by the weld which causes the typical horse saddle of a butt welded flat plate.. A functionality Delta T Offset  has been developed in order to overcome the limitation due to the shrinkage methodology that cannot provide correct results for a butt joint with a non-symmetrical welding. With this new development, it will be possible to apply an offset value on the thermal loading between upper and lower surfaces of shell. In consequence, the horse saddle effect of a butt welded flat plate is produced with Assembly solution.

How to create a complex blank holder with PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5

This video shows how the complex blank holder of a double action draw die can be created from multiple segments using a combination of standard CATIA and special PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5 functions all available inside the Blank Holder dialog.

Improve trimming with Overshoot

Trimming in PAM-STAMP can fail due to a too short trimming segment curve leading to not cut properly the blank mesh. This can be solved by using Overshoot option in PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5.
