Playing with API of CatiaV5-r21 using VisualBasic and KnoWledgewAre

This is a repo to perform high level scripting of Catia V5 R21.

Code used: VB6 / VBA

Status: A part can be loaded and duplicated.

More details: This is WIP, mostly because the Catia macro recorder is unreliable.

Best-practise: Use Power Copy > KWA > KWB > Black Box

• Remark, VB can be integrated to Power Copy / KWA / KWB.
• Remark2 : This is potentially obsolete. Use case was for Aerospace Industry
• Remark3 : Some good results can be reached without recoding tools in C.
• Remark4 : KWB requires a much more expensive license

How to test the API?

Catia API can be used like an excel spreadshit, just press Alt-F11 to start the high level VB6 environment. Keep in mind that VB6 and VBA are not exactly the same. Remark : Catia can be started in demo mode (without lic) for educationnal purpose only(beware of corrupted metadata)
