| Activity Type | Description | |---------------|-------------| | Bulk Geometry Creation | Generate hundreds of similar parts (e.g., ribs, holes, patterns) based on an Excel/CSV input. | | Automated Drawing Generation | Create 2D drawings from 3D models with predefined views, dimensions, and annotations. | | Data Exchange | Convert CATPart/CATProduct to STEP, IGES, STL, or 3DXML without manual intervention. | | Parameter Updates | Modify design table parameters or formulas across multiple parts in an assembly. | | Validation & Checks | Run clash analysis, mass properties, or draft angle checks on a batch of models. | | File Export/Import | Batch export to neutral formats or import external data into CATIA structure. | nipactivity catia new

Let’s walk through the conceptual steps (pseudo-code logic for C++/CAA developers and scripters). nipactivity catia new

Launch CATIA New. You should see a floating "Nip Console" (usually a small grey bar). Drag this into your bottom toolbar. Load a test B-Rep (Boundary Representation) model and run the command Action: "Smart Heal". nipactivity catia new

Expected Result: The model takes 3-5 seconds to analyze and will highlight any "dangling" constraints in red.
