how does 3DX CATIA deal with configurations?

I'm from a SW background and make quite a bit of use of configurations. How does 3DX CATIA deal with configurations? Is it a similar approach, or something different? Also, are there any resources to learn more about configs in CATIA?

How does CATIA calculate declared weight % vs computed weight % in an assembly?

I’m trying to understand how CATIA calculates the weight contribution percentages in an assembly and I’m confused by the results.

I have an assembly with only 2 parts:

  • Declared weight = 30
  • Computed weight = 0.449

CATIA shows the breakdown as approximately:

  • 66.7% Declared Weight
  • 33.3% Computed Weight

What I expected was that the percentages would be based directly on mass values, but if I calculate:

30 / (30 + 0.449) ≈ 98.5%
0.449 / (30 + 0.449) ≈ 1.5%

…which doesn’t match CATIA’s 66.7 / 33.3 split.

Hi I am using 3dexperience CATIA, there are some purchased parts that we get and the supplier provides the COG value. What is the best way to store this information?

Hi does 3DX Catia have a Fastener Library? I'm coming from Solidworks and am used to the solidworks toolbox.

Does dassault systems have some kind of a generic library?
