Fastening Database Design Import

Database Design Import (DBDI) enables the migration of CATIA V5 data stored in a legacy database into 3DEXPERIENCE.

This topic specifies the import correspondences between V5 data types and 3DEXPERIENCE content types, and the import result. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

Common Import Behavior

This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.

Reported as joined components on connection of every spot instance.

SupportSupportFully Imported

‘Pilot’ role is assigned to component containing support zone.

HemHemFully Imported

Component containing hemmed zone is duplicated.

AnnotationAnnotationPartially Imported

Annotations are imported, but isolated from 3DEXPERIENCE spot

Assembly joint--

Zone attributes (zone name, zone material, thickness) --

Joined components are imported, but joined zones are not imported.

Spot belonging to assembly joint having unresolved links of missing/deleted components.Broken bundle (that is with no stacking) Partially imported
BiW fastening parameters--
Deactivated spotSpotFully imported. A warning message is issued to inform that it is active in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Attributes on V5 Spot
  • Forecast element count
  • Stacking type (lap, hem, unspec)
  • Thickness count value
  • Fastener shape definition parameter - offset
  • Material
  • SAG/STEP tolerance values stored on bead
  • Bead shape type (circular, diamond etc.) and its base/height value
