change axle system

[lesio89]

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and quite new even in the caty world. I wanted to ask you if it is possible to change the main axle system once the axieme is made. this because I find myself with the product (of about fifty pieces and a hundred constraints) in which faces are not orthogonal compared to the classic xyz system. I don't know how it happened but now I'm with the situation you can see in the photo (simplified). the problem I have is that going then to charge it in ansys workbench the coordinate system is rotated!

I imagine that the error comes from the fact that you uploaded a part that was not orthogonal to the "canonical" axes and on that you then started the bonds with the inserted parts later, which were oriented accordingly.

in the single part it is possible to create a new axle and make it active, in the product it does not seem to me there is something equivalent.

There are several ways to put things back in place, but you have to be careful what you do... (work on copies, executed with a)

if you have assembled the product correctly, i.e. fixing with the anchor the first part inserted and putting all the constraints on the other parts, it would be enough to remove the anchor to the first part and rotate it, that everything would go to place, but I'm not sure you did the perfect things, so I propose this solution:

create a new product, insert a new part that you will call "axis", fix it with the anchor, then insert your product and tie it with parallels compared to the axis plans, in this way you should get the orientation you want.

If it bothers you to have two products we try the other way.

Hi.

Hi, gianni,
first of all thanks for the answer. as you have predicted I have done anything but things well, not anchoring the first part and not putting the constraints in order (you know why it is a common mistake? :wink.
I'm still trying with the solution you proposed to me, and then I'll let you know.
Thank you.

the problem is that in the asylum feature (change system of axes(axis to axis)))
you can't use it -
this command function in the environment part...
from which I deduce that if you want to change orientation, you have to do it on each part
that constitutes your assembly

an alternative could be to make the assembly file become
in part...
then it would be very easy to act on the only part---

well lesio 89 you have touched the biggest problem of caia and in general of all the software that work with part and assembling in separate files i.e. the fact that there is no command in the main axieme with which you can assign the desired reference system to the parts but you have to enter individually in each part....
I often happen that together finished (a mold with 500 parts) the customer asks to rotate 180° or move everything!! !
Obviously I can move the axieme with the manipulator but if I open the parts individually hold the original zeros and even if I take out in stp.
I am also willing to lose all the working parameters of the parts (but not the axieme tree) so I refer to some brains that you find a solution maybe with procedures since those who do these programs (which cost a lot of money!) never solved the problem.
