CATIA V5 standard part installation automation

Turn fastener installation from repetitive manual work into a traceable engineering workflow.

StdPOT is built for CATIA V5 assembly design. It calculates grip thickness, selects matching fastener lengths, writes SP definition parts, and instantiates standard parts back into the assembly. It helps aerospace, automotive, rail, and equipment manufacturing engineers install rivets, bolt stacks, and plate nuts faster and more reliably.

Why StdPOT

The expensive part of traditional fastener work is not clicking. It is checking again and again.

Assembly levels, local coordinates, grip thickness, thread constraints, washer stacks, and plate-nut orientation become error-prone when every position is judged manually. StdPOT turns those decisions into reusable rules and traceable records.

Less repetition

Select install points, install surfaces, and connected parts once, then generate definitions and instances in batches.

Less guessing

Select fastener length from standard tables and measured grip thickness instead of manual calculation.

Traceable by design

SP parts retain installation definitions for later reporting, instantiation, mirroring, and review.

Core features

A focused toolchain for CATIA assembly fastener installation.

01

Automatic rivet sizing

Select install points, an install surface, and connected parts. StdPOT measures grip thickness, picks a valid rivet length, and can instantiate the rivets directly.

02

Bolt + washer + nut stacks

Configure bolts or screws, washers, and nuts. Check engineering constraints such as thread in the bearing area and thread protrusion.

03

Plate nut installation

Support two-lug, one-lug, and corner plate nuts. Generate rivet installation points from reference edges and angle offsets.

04

SP definition parts

Write installation lines, grip thickness, part numbers, and coordinate parameters into SP parts as a reusable source of truth.

05

Reports and EBOM

Scan SP definitions, summarize fastener usage, export reports, and support EBOM workflows with CATIA properties and BOM geometry-set parameters.

06

Enterprise offline licensing

Machine-code binding, offline license files, and expiration control make StdPOT practical for controlled enterprise networks.

Demo videos

A short demo series showing deployment, daily use, and where the time savings come from.

The videos cover rivets, bolt stacks, plate nuts, mirrored fasteners, reports, BOM generation, and part-number editing.

Standard part library adaptation

StdPOT can be adapted to existing standard tables, CATIA Catalog workflows, model naming rules, and enterprise standard part libraries.

Purchase and services

Validate a real sample first, then license the workflow.

StdPOT is built for CATIA engineering teams. We recommend a remote demo and sample validation with the customer's own assembly workflow before formal licensing.

Sample validation

Confirm the workflow with a real assembly case

Start with a small customer assembly workflow and validate fastener installation, instantiation, reports, and traceable SP definition records before formal licensing.

Licensing deployment

Discuss single-seat, team, or enterprise scope

Licensing can be planned around user count, deployment environment, offline requirements, license period, module scope, contracts, invoices, and acceptance workflow.

Library adaptation

Align with existing standard tables and model rules

StdPOT can be adapted to customer standard tables, model naming rules, CATIA Catalog workflows, and enterprise standard part library structures.

Licensing

Offline licensing for controlled enterprise networks.

StdPOT does not require design workstations to connect to the public internet. Activation is handled with a machine code and a license file.

  1. 01Install StdPOT and generate the machine code
  2. 02Send the machine code and purchase information
  3. 03Receive the generated license file
  4. 04Import the license and activate offline

FAQ

Common questions before purchase.

What environment does StdPOT require?

StdPOT runs on Windows with CATIA V5. Enterprise packages include the required runtime resources, standard part models, and specification tables as needed.

Can we use our own standard part library?

Yes. StdPOT organizes standard part libraries through the SPECS folder, including standards, diameters, lengths, grip ranges, and part numbers.

Does it support intranet deployment?

Yes. StdPOT supports offline installation packages and offline license files, so design workstations do not need internet access.

Can you provide contracts and invoices?

Yes. Enterprise procurement can include contracts, invoices, license-term documentation, and delivery lists.

Does StdPOT modify original CATIA parts?

The main workflow creates SP definitions and standard part instances. Temporary geometry may be used during calculation. Teams should validate sample assemblies before production use.

Why offline licensing?

Many CATIA engineering environments are isolated or controlled. Offline licensing reduces external network dependencies and fits enterprise deployment better.

Are standard part models included?

It depends on the licensed package. A basic package can include sample libraries, while enterprise packages can adapt existing company standards and naming rules.
