C. About Parameters and Formulas
These topics are beyond basic Part Design. It is assumed that the reader has mastered
basic skills of creating parts in Catia V5. Therefore, no extra attention will be given to
the details of steps leading up to the subject matter. This is necessary for clarity and
brevity.
Having said that, the purpose of creating Parameters and Formulas, is to allow the user a
means to quickly and meaningfully design and edit a part, based on user-defined logic.
But what does that mean? Simply put - you , the reader, have the ability to set up
relationships that make editing the part easier, not only for yourself, but downstream
users! By
