Introduction
Designing is all about innovation which breaks all the barriers of imagination.
Though designing is the root of imagination but it is like a branch which spread
and spread wider. The more you go nearer the more it gets robust. Designing is
something which you cannot count, which you cannot weight but all we can do is
feel the richness of design.
Let me give you an example:
We go home, we sit on a chair and we use the comforts. Did ever we thought that
why it is so comfortable? Yes, we do but the only difference is we feel the design
in terms of comfortness and looks.
Now we understand that designing is very much important to our day-to-day life
and its something beyond measure.
This book will guide you to design a BOTTLE using image tracer function in Catia
V5. In this tutorial, we will learn how to add images, what are the parameters
required to consider and what can be done if we lost some icons. To create a
BOTTLE we have to work on Generative Shape design, Wireframe and surface
design and definitely Part design workbench.

Objective 1: Customize the setting of user interface
Open the attachment. Copy any image of that bottle and past on your
desktop and name it as Plastic Bottle.
Now open your catia user interface.
Go to the upper left corner and open start>Shape>Generative Shape Design.
Uncheck “enable hybrid design” and hit ok.
Go to the insert option in the top of the navigation bar and insert
“geometrical set”
Rename it as “setting 1” and hit ok.
Specification Tree

Objective 2: Creation of extrude surface
Select y-z plane from specification tree and click sketch icon.
Select Profile or line to create line with 50 mm height as shown in the
picture and exit.
Click on extrude icon set limits with Limit1=30mm & Limit2=30mm and hit
ok.

Objective 3: Adding material and image
Click on add material icon which is on you bottom navigation bar.
Go to other option and select material type as “Plastic”, click on the
extrude1 from specification tree then “apply material”, and close.
Change your view to “shading with material”
Double click on the plastic from the specification tree and chose rendering
option.
Type = image
Mapping = cubical mapping
Material size= 50mm
Browse image= Select “Plastic Bottle” from DESKTOP, and hit ok.
See the images mentioned below and follow the instruction carefully.

Objective 4: Tracing the image using spline
Select y-z plane and hit on sketch.
Select the axis icon and create an axis as centerline. Follow picture.
Select the spline and trace the image as shown in the picture.
You can customize the spline by simple click and drag.

OBJECTIVE 5: Use of revolve command
Select the sketch that you drew and hit on revolve icon
If you do not get the revolve icon then go to the Insert option on the upper
navigation bar
INSERT > SURACES > REVOLVE.
Set limit one as 180 and limit two as 0 and select revolution axis as the
sketch 1.
Then hit ok.
Now check whether the image you drew is identical with the picture mentioned
below. If yes then proceed to objective 6 otherwise make that image identical.

Objective 6: Creation of arc
Select the plane icon and assign
Plane type = offset from the plane
Reference = x-y plane
Offset = 20
Select plane1 and hit sketch icon.
Go to the circle option and hit on arc.
Create an arc similar with the image and exit

Objective 7: Creation of grip on the surface of bottle
Select y-z axis and hit on sketcher
Now opposite the direction of plane by normal view icon
Select spline again and draw the structure as shown below
Now see the picture carefully
Hit on rotate icon and make it little bit isometric, so that you can see the arc
as well as spline points.
Hold Ctrl+endpoint of arc+point in spline that is near to the arc and select
constraint definition and make it “coincident constrain

Objective 8: Creation of revolve surface of bottle
Select the sketch that you drew and hit on revolve icon
If you do not get the revolve icon then go to the Insert option on the upper
navigation bar
INSERT > SURACES > REVOLVE.
Set limit one as 180 and limit two as 0 and select revolution axis as the
sketch 1.
Then ok.
Now check whether the image you drew is identical with the picture mentioned
below. If yes then proceed to objective 9 otherwise make that image identical.

Objective 9: Now creation of bottleneck
Select y-z axis and hit on sketcher
Now opposite the direction of plane by normal view icon
Select spline again and draw the structure as shown below
Now see the picture carefully
Hit on rotate icon and make it little bit isometric, so that you can see the arc
as well as spline points.
Hold Ctrl+endpoint of arc+point in spline that is near to the arc and select

Objective 10: Use of revolve command to give surface
Select the sketch that you drew and hit on revolve icon
If you do not get the revolve icon then go to the Insert option on the upper
navigation bar
INSERT > SURACES > REVOLVE.
Set limit one as 360 and limit two as 0 and select revolution axis as z-axis.
Then ok.
Now select rotate icon and check whether you get what you desire.

Objective 11: Monitoring revolved dimension
Double click on Revolve 1 and assign
Limit 1=360
Limit2=0 and hit ok.
Double click on Revolve 2 and assign
Limit1= 360
Limit2=0 and hit ok.

Objective 12: Creation of thick surface
Change your workbench START > MECHANICAL DESIGN > PART
DESIGN
Go to insert option
Insert > Surface-Based-Feature> Thick Surface.
A window pop out showing this is not a body hit ok.
If not then select the surface and drag the direction of arrow outside as
shown in the figure and assign Thickness= 0.3mm
Hit okk.
Similarly hit on other surface to obtain same result.
