A
|
| affinity |
An operation in which an element is transformed by applying X, Y, Z
affinity ratios with respect to a reference axis system. |
C
|
| child |
A status defining the hierarchical relation between a
feature or element and another feature or element. |
| constraint |
A geometric or dimension relation between two elements. |
E
|
| extruded surface |
A surface that is obtained by extruding a profile along a
specified direction. |
F
|
| feature |
A component of a part. |
J
|
| join |
An operation in which adjacent curves or adjacent curves
can be joined. |
L
|
| lofted surface |
A surface that is obtained by sweeping one or more planar
section curves along a spine, which may be automatically computed or user-defined. The
surface can be made to follow one or more guide curves. |
O
|
| offset surface |
A surface that is obtained by offsetting an existing
surface a specified distance. |
P
|
| parent |
A status defining the hierarchical relation between a
feature or element and another feature or element. |
| part |
A 3D entity obtained by combining different features.
It is the content of a CATPart document. |
| part body |
A component of a part made of one or several features. |
| profile |
An open or closed shape including arcs and lines. |
R
|
| revolution surface |
A surface that is obtained by revolving a profile around
an axis. |
| rotate |
An operation in which an element is rotated by a
specified angle about an given axis. |
S
|
| scaling |
An operation that resizes an element to a percentage of
its initial size. |
| sketch |
A set of geometric elements created in the Sketcher
workbench. For instance, a sketch may include a profile, construction lines and points. |
| split |
An operation in which one element is cut by another
element. |
| swept surface |
A surface obtained by sweeping a profile in planes normal
to a spine curve while taking other user-defined parameters (such as guide curves and
reference elements) into account. |
| symmetry |
An operation in which an element is transformed by means
of a mirror symmetry with respect to a reference plane, line or point. |
T
|
| translate |
An operation in which an element is displaced a specified distance
along a given direction. |
| trim |
An operation in which two element cut each other mutually. |
W
|
| wireframe element |
Elements such as points, lines or curves that can be used to
represent the outline of a 3D object. |
