BIM Q&A | Essential CATIA Features for Designing Flexible Grippers

BIM Q&A | Which CATIA Functions Are Needed to Create Flexible Grippers?

The image above shows a point cloud scan of a flexible gripper. The question is how to properly model this part in CATIA.

This tool enables switching between rigid and flexible fixation modes. When rigid fixation is applied to the entire subassembly, it can only be moved as a single rigid body. In contrast, flexible fixation allows individual components within the subassembly to move freely using tools such as the compass or move functions, similar to how other components behave.

To use this feature, follow these steps: select the second-level assembly, then activate flexible disassembly mode, and finally select the second-level disassembly.
