It discusses operating system services, structures, system calls, system programs, design and implementation. The key topics covered include user interfaces, process management, file systems, devices, resource allocation, protection and various system call examples.
The document discusses various DOS commands used to manage files and directories in MS-DOS. It describes internal commands that are preloaded and external commands stored on disks. Some key commands covered include DIR to list files, MD to create directories, CD to change directories, COPY to copy files, DEL to delete files, and FORMAT to format disks.
- Tim Paterson designed MS-DOS in 1980 while working for Seattle Computer Products. He wrote it in 8086 assembly language to be simple, fast and efficient.
- MS-DOS 1.0 was released by IBM in 1981. Microsoft then took over development and updated it through several versions until replacing it with Windows 95 in 1994.
- DOS used internal commands like COPY, DIR, DEL at the command prompt to manage files, directories and hardware. It had a basic file structure with 8.3 naming and supported wildcards for file searching.

Lecture 1
14. Part Design
• The Part Design application is used to create solid
models of parts
• Solid parts are usually created from 2D profiles that
are extruded or revolved to form a base feature
• The Part Design task is tightly integrated with a 2D
sketching tool
• A library of features is provided to allow user to add
additional details to a base part
• Parts can be modified by selecting their features in
the specification tree
• Parts are stored in files with the extension .CATPart

Lecture 1
16. Sketcher
• The sketcher is used to create 2D sketches of
designs, and apply constraints to the sketched
geometry
• The sketcher is now the main environment for
developing 2D profiles that will be used to build solid
models (but traditional 2D wireframe techniques are
available in the Wireframe and Surface application)
• The sketcher provides a flexible environment for
creating and modifying 2D geometry
Lecture 1

Constraint
Lecture 1
18. Using the Sketcher
• The Sketcher is a parametric design tool
• It allows you to quickly draw the approximate shape
of a design, and then assign constraints to complete
the shape definition
• Constraints can be applied as:
Driving Dimensions – dimensions that control
the size of a geometric entity
Geometric Constraints – geometric
relationships such as parallel, perpendicular,
tangent, collinear
Lecture 1
19. Sketching Example
1. Click on the Sketcher icon
2. Select the 2D plane to sketch
on (may be a plane, or the face
of an existing part), and the
sketching window will appear
3. Sketch the profile
4. Apply constraints to define the
exact geometry required
4. Click on the exit icon to quit the
sketcher
5. Sketch is transferred into the
3D modelling environment
Lecture 1
20. Sketching Tips
• To edit an existing sketch ensure that you select the sketch from
the specification tree, or select an element in the sketch. (If you
do not do this you will create a new sketch instead of modifying
the existing one)
• If the sketch goes purple while you are constraining it is over-
constrained. Generally it is best to Undo the last constraint and
examine existing constraints to find the problem before
continuing
• Solids can only be created from sketches that form a single
closed boundary
• The profile icon allows you to create complicated profiles
including lines and arcs. See the online help for more
information
Lecture 1
21. Creating a Solid Part from a Sketch
1. Click on the Pad icon to
create an extruded part
2. Select the sketch containing
the profile you want to
extrude (note the sketch is
treated as a single entity)
3. The Pad definition window
will appear
4. Select the limit type from:
Dimension
Up To Next
Up To Last
Up To Plane
5. Type in the length if required
6. Check the extrude direction
arrow
7. Click on OK to create the
Part
Lecture 1
22. Working with Features
• The Part Design task uses intelligent design features
• The features contain information about their context as well as
their shape
• For example a Hole feature can only be created once you have
created a part body
A hole feature requires an attachment face, and driving dimensions
A hole is a negative feature – it is automatically subtracted from the main
Part Body
• Other features include Pad, Revolve, Pocket, Groove, Thread,
Rib, Slot, Stiffener
• When a new feature is added to a solid part it is automatically
combined with the existing part
Lecture 1
23. Modifying a Part
• All parts created in Part Design can be edited at any time in the
life of the part
• The parameters used to create a feature can be accessed by
double clicking on the feature definition in the product
specification tree or on the part geometry
• For example to change the height of a pad you should double
click on the pad node in the specification tree.
• The original feature dialogue will appear on the screen
• Change the values and click on OK.
• When you have modified the feature parameters the part will
automatically update. The part turns red briefly to indicate that it
is out of date
Lecture 1
24. Assembly Design
• The Assembly Design application allows you to
create a product model from a number of separate
parts
• The parts in a product assembly are not joined
together, but assembled as they would be in a
physical assembly
• The product assembly structure is hierarchical and
allows you to model complex product relationships
• Constraints can be applied between the parts in
assembly to define relationships between them
Lecture 2
26. Benefits of Assembly Modelling
• Support for reuse of standard parts
Assembly design creates links to the master geometry definition, so
multiple instantiations of parts can be efficiently created
Design changes are automatically reflected in the assembly
Model sizes are minimised because geometry files are not copied
• Management of inter-part relationships
Mating Conditions
Contact Constraints
• Development of Kinematics models
Simple mechanisms analysis available
Lecture 2
27. Using the Product Structure Tree
• The specification tree shows product
structure information relating to the
parts and sub-assemblies contained
in an assembly
In the example shown on the right the
product is called Product1
The product contains three components
CRIC_FRAME, CRIC_BRANCH_3 and
CRIC_BRANCH_1.
• The Product and the Components do
not contain any geometry
Geometry is stored in parts inside the
Component definitions
The Constraints Branch shows the
constraints that have been created to
define the relationships between the
components in the product structure
Lecture 2
28. Steps for Creating an Assembly
1. Create a new CATProduct using File -> New ->
Product.
2. Use the Product Structure tools to lay out the main
assembly structure
3. Use Insert Existing Component or Insert New
Part to create geometry in the Assembly
4. Use Constraints to capture the design relationships
between the various parts in the assembly
Lecture 2
29. Saving Assembly Information
• Assembly information is stored in a file with the extension
.CATProduct.
• The CATProduct file contains only information relating to the
product assembly.
• The detailed geometric information about the parts in the
assembly is referenced to the original .CATPart files
Warning
If you copy a.CATProduct file it will still point to the original part files
To copy an entire assembly use File -> Save All As… , specify a new
location for the .CATProduct file, then click on the Propagate button.
Lecture 2
30. More Advanced Part Design
• Boolean Operations
• Transforming Parts
• Assigning Materials
• Calculating Mass Properties
Lecture 2
32. Using Boolean Operations
• To use the traditional Boolean operations approach to
solid modelling you must create multiple bodies
within a part.
• Create additional Bodies by selecting the function
Insert -> New Body
• Boolean operations (join, subtract, intersect) can only
be applied between the main PartBody, and other
bodies in the same Part
Lecture 2
33. Transforming Parts
• Solid features can be transformed using the
transform functions
• Features can be mirrored, translated, rotated and
scaled
• Patterns are used to created rectangular or circular
arrays of features
Lecture 2
34. Assigning Materials
• To Assign a material click on the Materials Icon on
the toolbar
• Select a material from the material library
• Click on the part you wish to assign the material to,
then click on Apply Material and OK. The material
will appear on the properties branch in the spec tree
• Note: You may need to change the option settings
To make the parameters branch of the specification
tree visible. To do this select
Tools->Options->Infrastructure->Product Structure
Specification Tree -> Parameters

Lecture 2
36. Wireframe and Surface
• The Wireframe and Surface task provides a more
traditional CAD 3D modelling environment
• The Wireframe functionality allows you to create
Wireframe points, lines and curves in 3D space,
without using the constraint based approach of the
sketcher
• The Surface functionality allows you to create smooth
freeform surfaces by sweeping Wireframe curves
through 3D space
• Wireframe and Surface is integrated with the other
CATIA applications allowing for hybrid surface and
solid modelling

Lecture 3
39. Creating Wireframe Geometry
• Wireframe geometry can be created in
3D space, or on a 2D plane (using a
support)
• Each wireframe function has a number of
different methods (e.g.a line can be
created from point to point, or parallel to
an existing line, or many other ways).
• Existing geometry can be selected by
picking on the screen or selecting from
the spec. tree
• Additional options may be available by
pressing the right mouse button over the
input box
Lecture 3
40. Creating Surface Geometry
• Surfaces are usually created
using a wireframe skeleton
• For example the Loft function
requires 2 or more cross
section curves
• It also optionally accepts a
number of guide curves that
extend between the cross
curves
• A spine curve can be used to
define the shape of the loft
Lecture 3
41. Using the Specification Tree with
Wireframe and Surface
• Wireframe and Surface Geometry
is created in an “Open Body”
within the Part definition
• Geometry in the open body is not
“attached” to the main part
• New Open bodies can be created
using the Insert -> Open Body
command
• A part can contain both Open
Body and Part Body information
Lecture 3
42. Wireframe and Surface –
Hints and Tips
• If you want to repeatedly use the same function (e.g.
to create multiple points) double-click on the icon.
The dialogue will remain open after you click on OK.
• It can be very useful to create planes to use as a
support when creating geometry.
• When creating surfaces take care that the underlying
wireframe geometry is consistent, and curve
endpoints are all matched
• When creating surfaces ensure that curve
orientations are consistent
Lecture 3
43. Solid – Surface Integration
• The Part Design Application
provides a Surface Based
Features toolbar to allow you
create solid bodies from
surface models.
• Solids created from surfaces
are generally more difficult to
modify that solids generated
in part design
• The solid part maintains
associativity to the surfaces
it was generated from
• Surface Based Features
Split – Uses a surface to split a
solid object
Thicken – Creates a solid body
by “thickening” an existing
surface
Close Surface – Creates a
Solid body from a closed set of
surfaces
Sew Surface – Joins a surface
to a solid body
Lecture 3
44. Generative Drafting
• The Generative Drafting Application allows you to
create engineering drawings from parts or
assemblies
• Generative Drafting automatically lays out
orthographic projections of a part onto a drawing
sheet
• Traditional Drafting functions can be used to annotate
the drawing layout
• Drawings are stored in files with the extension
.CATDrawing

in the Save As Type box to export a file in an
external format
• Exported geometry does not have any history
associated with it
• Check the online help for more information about the
types of entities that can be translated
Lecture 3
54. Generative Part Structural Analysis
• Generative Part Structural Analysis allows you to
perform a finite element analysis on a solid part
• It is highly automated and allows an analysis to be
performed with the minimum of interaction from the
user
• Generative Part Structural Analysis provides very
limited mesh control, and can only be applied to solid
geometry

Lecture 3
58. Parameters and Formulas
• CATIA V5 contains a group of applications that
provide CATIA Knowledgeware capabilities
• These tools allow you to perform design automation,
and capture non-geometric information about a
product
• The most basic Knowledgeware tool is the
Knowledge Advisor
• Using Knowledge advisor you can create parameters
and relationships relating to parts
Lecture 3
59. Knowledge Advisor
• CATIA stores information about a part in form of
parameters
• Formula function – allows you to create new
parameters and create relationships between existing
parameters.
• Rules function – allows you to define design rules
relating to design parameters in a part or product
• Parameters and Relations are displayed in the
specification tree
Lecture 3
60. Knowledge Advisor Example
• This relations branch shows two formulas:
The value of the diameter Radius.1 is set equal to 2* the diameter
of Hole.1 in the part
The value of the user defined parameter PadLength is set equal to
the sum of the two limits on Pad.1
Lecture 3
