Is it possible to configure the Ansys Catia V5 geometry interfaces to recognize customized Catia V5 Environments? An example may be DLNAMES, where Part files are stored in logical locatations, rather than directories.


See instructions below on how to configure geometry interfaces for use with customized Catia V5 Environments

(The customer's directory location may be different...adjust accordingly...)

Edit the CATUserSettingPath entry as shown below.

Save the edited file and test attach into WB using CADNEXUS.

SPATIAL:
---------

1. ANSInterOpB17.txt and AWPInterOpB17.txt are not longer supplied by
default beginning with the Spatial reader for R18.
The Spatial reader for R18 now uses internal default values.

2. For systems that still require these files for customization
purposes, the user can:
- Create an Environment with the setcatenv.exe utility.
- Edit this Environment and associated files as needed.
- Set a Windows Environment variable that points to the new
Environment
- Run Workbench and the Spatial reader


3. The following .bat file will create a new sample Environment named
AWPInterOpB18.
The name itself is not important, but we will stay with the same
convention that was used previously.

------------------------setcatenv_AWP110.bat----------------------------
-----------
@echo on
set A3DT="%AWP_ROOT110%CommonFilesCATIAV5intel_acode"
set X3DT="%AWP_ROOT110%CommonFilesCATIAV5intel_acode"
"%AWP_ROOT110%CommonFilesCATIAV5intel_acodebinsetcatenv.exe" ^
-e AWPInterOpB18 ^
-desktop no ^
-a global ^
-p "%AWP_ROOT110%CommonFilesCATIAV5"
------------------------setcatenv_AWP110.bat----------------------------
-----------

4. If the above runs correctly, then the following Environment file
should now be present in:

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication
DataDassaultSystemesCATEnvAWPInterOpB18.txt


5. Edit the file as needed:

!CATUserSettingPath=CSIDL_APPDATADassaultSystemesCATSettings
CATUserSettingPath=C:CATSettings

6. Create the folder C:CATSettings and copy into it the following 3
files

DefaultAttributesRepository.CATSettings
DefaultCreationAttributesPreference.CATPreferences
DLNames.CATSettings
7. When you run Ansys Workbench + Spatial reader, it needs to know about
this new Environment "AWPInterOpB18"2 possible methods:

a. Create a new Windows Environment Variable
CATDefaultEnvironment=AWPInterOpB18
The downside of setting this variable in Windows is that it may
affect users of the CATIA CAD program.

b. Or, make a small .bat file only for those who run Workbench,
---------------------------run_AWP110.bat---------------------------
@echo on
set PATH="%AWP_ROOT110%CommonFilesCATIAV5intel_acodebin,%PATH%"
set CATDefaultEnvironment=AWPInterOpB18
"%AWP_ROOT110%AISOLCommonFilesintelAnsysWBU.exe" -StartPage &
---------------------------run_AWP110.bat---------------------------


c. Or,

Or, make a small .bat file only for those who run CATIA,
---------------------------
echo Setting CATDefaultEnvironment=CATIA.V5R15.B15
set CATDefaultEnvironment=CATIA.V5R15.B15
