Part Numbering
4General Rules4Naming and Numbering should always follow AM2215.
4Part Name = Filename.
4Filenames are always in Uppercase.
4No spaces are allowed.
4Always change part numbers within CATIA V5 using Save Management.
4Never rename or overwrite CATIA documents with UNIX or Windows file managers.

Part Numbering
4Large Components with Sub-Element Parts4Large components, such as ribs, skins and spars, can be created as a series of
individual sub-element parts, represented in the DMU as a single, linked model.
4Naming Convention4Final Model:
4 M57P5432120000
4Sub-Element Parts:
4 M57P5432120000-01, -02, -03, etc.
4PRIMES 34On first vaulting, it is important that the final model and all sub-element parts are vaulted together to
maintain issue status. It is recommended that the maximum number of sub-element parts are created (as empty CATParts) because further iterations cannot be added after this initial vaulting.
4Drawings are linked to the final model and not the sub-element parts.

File Management
4Correct File Management while Maintaining Links4The following method must be followed to ensure that renamed parts, assemblies and
drawings update successfully.4 Open the assembly (or part) required for change.
4 If the assembly has an associated drawing, this must be opened in the same CATIA session for the links to update correctly.
4 Use Save Management to change the assembly and parts filenames.
4 Modify the assembly, part, and instance numbers within Properties.
4 Save the assembly.
4 Swap CATIA window to the drawing(s) and rename as required. – (The assembly must still be open).

File Management
4Maintaining & Managing UUID Links4A UUID is a unique identifier recorded inside all CATIA documents.
4When CATIA opens a reference document (i.e. sub-assembly) both its name and UUID are checked. If the UUID number has changed it will not open correctly, and any existing links will be broken. This condition can be caused if the original sub-assembly had been deleted and restarted, creating a new UUID number.
4General Rules4Always preserve the original vaulted CATIA document.
4Never delete and restart an existing CATIA document with File + New , File + New Fromor File + Save as New document. This creates a new UUID number.
4Never overwrite CATIA documents with new versions using UNIX or Windows.4 Use File + Save Management / Save As to renumber existing CATIA documents.
– Keeps the same UUID number.– Maintains assembly and drawing links (User Instruction 186).
4 Only use File + New From to create a new, unique part based on an existing part.– Creates a new UUID number.– Links to existing assemblies and drawings are not required.

Part Design
4General Rules4Part Name = Filename.
4Parts are modelled about a local axis system.
4Only one PartBody per CATPart. (Exceptional conditions can apply).
4Multi-Model links are only permitted to Master Geometry and published elements.
4PartBody placed on correct Master Model Layer (See Layers & Colours).
4Special characters (i.e.commas) are not allowed as element names.
4Delete any redundant wireframe and surface geometry.
4Isolate all non-essential external references.
4Only the PartBody should be shown. Hide all other geometry.
4Only approved Material Attributes are allowed.

Sheet Metal Design
4General Rules4Sheet Metal Parts should be created with the following workbenches:
4 Aerospace Sheet Metal Design (ASL) - Hydro-formed and Bent Parts.
4 Generative Sheet Metal Design (GSMD) - Bent Parts only (straight fold line without joggle).
4 Part Design - Unique Parts not supported in the sheet metal workbenches.
4All parts should contain both a folded and unfolded solid representation.

Assembly Design
4General Rules4Assembly Name = Assembly Instance Name.x = Filename.
4All Parts and Assemblies should have a Product Description (Properties Menu).
4Parts or products must only be added or deleted from a sub-assembly when it is open in its own window (at root level).
4Broken links should be immediately reattached with File + Desk and Edit + Links or by using Replace Component.
4Constraints are permitted between parts within a single assembly.
4Fix all Assembly Components that are not constrained.
4Parts should not be hidden in the assembly structure.
4Performance can be improved by configuring the CATIA V5 Search Order (UI243).
4Only use DMU Navigator Cumulative Snap with the Rotation Option.
4 (Never use the symmetry option).

Assembly Design
4Design Tree4The Design Tree is the Designers Working Assembly.
4The Design Tree number is the first 9-Digits of the Production (14-Digit) Assembly.
4It can hold Design Principle, SAM, GRM, Frontier, Interface and Installation Assemblies; Zoned Environments and Reference Geometry.
4The content of the Design Tree is not managed in PRIMES, and as such, the completeness and validity of the environment data should always be checked.

Composite Design
4Design Methodology4Composite Parts are designed on reference surfaces using wireframe geometry to
define the composite entities.
4Composite Design uses the Composite Part Design Workbench.
4There are three design methodologies that can be adopted:
4Zone and Taper 4 Discrete zones of constant thickness and the ramp areas between these zones are
designed. Solid and ply creation can be automatically performed.
4 Automatic design method – recommended for simple components.
4Zone and Limit Contour 4 Discrete zones of constant thickness are designed but ramps between zones are not
designed. Solid and ply creation require some interaction with the workbench in order to complete definition.
4 Semi-Automatic design method.
4Ply-by-Ply4 Each ply contour is individually defined by the designer.
4 Manual design method – recommended for complex components and sandwich panels.

Drawings
4General Rules4Drawings are numbered with the first nine digits of the assembly or part number with a
suffix indicating the drawing sheet number -01, 02, etc. (i.e. M57P54321-01).
4One sheet per CATDrawing. (No limit on the number of detail sheets per drawing).
4All Drawings should be created with the Airbus Title Block Application.
4Picture Drawings can be used in specific circumstances. (AM2255).
4Views4All views should be locked prior to filing or vaulting.
4View frames should be turned off prior to vaulting.
4Section Views should not be pasted across drawings. The section should be generated from a front view which is scaled down, moved off the drawing sheet, and hidden.
4Dimensions4All dimensions should be compliant with Airbus ISO Standard.
4Dimensions should be fully associative on exact views.
4Dimensions are not permitted on Isometric Views or picture drawings.
4Avoid Fake dimensions.

Drawings
4Drawing Links4All drawings should be created with valid links to 14-Digit CATParts/ CATProducts.
4The only exception to this rule is drawings that include reference geometry, which are generated from a 9-digit Design Tree Assembly. (See Table).
4 The Design Tree Assembly contains reference geometry, and all views should be considered as snapshots only.
4 Before updating any views, it is important that content of the reference geometry in the Design Tree Assembly is validated.

Opposite Hand Geometry
4Symmetrical Assemblies4The creation of RH Wing data is mandated as a Design Data deliverable.
4It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that the opposite hand assembly and parts are always kept up to date.
4The Assembly Design Insert Symmetry tool must not be used as it does not produce an opposite hand assembly applicable to current Airbus processes.
4Basic Methodology4 Create the OH Parts using the Symmetrical Part Methodology.
4 Add OH Parts to an OH assembly.
4 Position the OH parts with snap and constraints as necessary.4(Please refer to User Instruction 196 for part positioning guidelines).

4General Rules4Flexible components, when deformed, can be located in multiple positions (e.g. Spring).
4Flexible components are named L57...-FLX01 (-02,-03, etc, then A1-9, B1-9, etc).4 The first 14-Digits (L57…) always use the parent assembly number.
4 -FLX## suffixes the 14-Digit number, increasing incrementally with each iteration.
4Each iteration of a flexible component must be a separate Part or Assembly.
4For reference, the Master Part number is added to the Properties Definition field.
4Flexible Parts4Each flexible part must reference a master CATPart.
4Flexible Assemblies4The content of a flexible assembly is always identical
to the content of its reference assembly.
4Only part positions are modified.
4Warning: Do not use the Flexible Assembly feature. This can cause orientation problems when an assembly is converted to a product structure (_ps) format.

‘Made From’ & ‘Drawn On’ Parts AM2296 / UI251
4‘Made From’ Parts & Assemblies4During the creation of a ‘flying’ part, several manufacturing processes/stages may be
required (e.g. billet / forging / extrusion) before the machining or formed part is created.
4Each stage will have a different 9-digit stem number.

‘Made From’ & ‘Drawn On’ Parts
4‘Drawn On’ Parts & Assemblies4These include items such as fabricated assemblies, where the parts that make up an
assembly are separately modelled, but are only detailed on a single drawing sheet.
4The component parts and assembly drawing have the same 9-Digit stem number.

4Machining’ Made from Casting4The machining and casting carry the same 9-Digit stem number.
4The casting model is created in PRIMES only and is numbered with a component part number (i.e. ...200 part).
4No CATPart or drawing exists for a casting.
4The solid model represents the final machined component as found on the aircraft.

Working with the Airbus Vault
4General Rules4Assemblies and parts should not be open in CATIA when storing to the vault.
4When working in an assembly with sub-assemblies, all affected CATProducts must be vaulted in the same session and not at different times. This ensures that all links are synchronised.
4Do not work on an assembly, then reset the check-out in the vault and overwrite the assembly with its old version.
4All CATIA documents, which have a UUID number that is different from the originally vaulted document, will be rejected by the PRIMES PDM system.
4Read Only Areas (ROAs)4Never attempt to add or delete geometry from a read-only assembly.
4Select only the minimum number of projects required in the Set Project / wsconfig Tool. This will improve performance as it reduces the number of CATIA search paths.
4The SP-Resolved and Equipment DLNames should be moved to the bottom of the CATIA Search Order to improve performance.

14-Digit production assembly. (Which uses the same 9-Digit stem number).
4Frontier, interface, and installation drawings - An empty 14-Digit assembly may have to be created and vaulted for this purpose.
4 Initial Vaulting1. From the EPD Data Browser create a CAD doc.
2. Check-in the Production (14-Digit) CATProduct first.
3. Associated drawings are transferred automatically.
4 Updating4. Check-out the Production (14-Digit) CATProduct.
5. Drawings are checked-out into /epd/parts/.
6. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for all subsequent vaulting operations.

Data Quality Checklist
4CATProduct4The following checklist should be followed before a 14 digit CATProduct is vaulted:
4 Ensure the assembly has a product description.
4 Delete or correct broken or ghost links. (CATDUA can remove these errors if necessary).
4 Check that constraints are valid and up-to-date.
4 Run CATDUA V5 to check and clean the data as necessary.
4CATPart4The following checklist should be followed before a CATPart is vaulted:
4 Ensure the part has a description.
4 The PartBody is placed on the correct layer with the correct colour associated.
4 Delete any redundant wireframe and surface geometry.– Part Design/ GSD workbench: Tools + Delete Useless Elements.
(Take care not to delete the absolute axis system or any valid isolated geometry when using Delete Useless Elements).
4 Delete all non-approved Material Attributes.
4 Isolate non-essential external references.
4 Run CATDUA V5 to check and clean the data as necessary.

CATDUA V5
4CATIA Data Upward Assistant4CATDUA is a utility for ensuring the integrity of CATIA V5 data. It is primarily used for
healing, removing broken and ghost links, resolving update errors, and data cleaning.
4CATDUA Report Return Codes (P1: Most Severe)4 Priority 1: Upgrading action may lead to data deletion.
4 Priority 2: Upgrading action may lead to data modification (without deletion).
4 Priority 3: Upgrading action without data deletion or modification (no impact on data).
4Guidelines4Do not overwrite data before validating the results of P1 and P2 errors.
4Only use the clean option if you are satisfied with the results from the report file.
4CATProducts should be updated after cleaning.
4Always check any healed data before vaulting.
4Known Issues4CATDUA should not used on Kinematic and Tubing CATProducts.4Drawings using formats larger that A0 will be resized to A0 (Batch Mode).
