How to lighten a product on CATIA COMPOSER because it lags

Hello

 

I currently have to make animations on CATIA COMPOPSER, but the assembly is heavy and the software is slow, does anyone have a solution to my problem??

 

Thank you!

Hello

Several possible answers either it is due to the Composer parameter (graph) or to the file that has too many components.

So is this the first time you've had this phenomenon?

What is the number of triangles (workshop/simplification to get the number)?

Hello

Managing huge assemblies is becoming more and more complex. Often, you have to manually remove some internal components, but this is tedious and very time-consuming. 

There are also software solutions such as 3D_Evolution SIMPLIFY to automatically lighten parts or CAD assemblies.

Hello and thank you for your answers,

So I have in visible geometry at least 10135368 triangle, I am still trying to open the .. So this figure is an estimate from a version with fewer parts. Namely that I work from igs files so only on the surface. As for the simplifyer I will try and I will say what it looks like;) Thank you in any case I keep you posted.

Hello again, unfortunately it is impossible for me to use a simplification software for the moment, I will eventually have to make a request which will probably take time. So if anyone has another solution to provide in the meantime.

Re

You have a simplification tool in COmposer, it's the one I gave you to calculate the number of facets.

You don't have CAD available to convert your IGES into real volume?

You didn't answer one of my questions, do you usually have performance problems on other files, because setting the application's preferences can be a solution.

Sorry coyote, I did omit that part of the question^^

I don't really have any problems with other parts, but it's the first time I've worked on a big assembly with this software. For iges solidworks can't repair all the parts because the surfaces are not well glued together, and I don't have access to the mesh module of catia, in any case given the number of surfaces it will take a lot of time. 

I tested decimation but it changes the shapes a lot, for the moment merging the different modules has allowed me to gain in fluidity =), the other simplification tools are not at all familiar to me on the other hand.

As far as the config is concerned, if there's a trick I'm interested you never know =)

 

Thank you

Re

You can try changing the settings that are in "Hardware Support" in the app's preferences, see attached image.

If you don't have a professional 3D graphics card such as QUadro, you can disable the open GL for example to gain fluidity but lose graphics quality inevitably.

Thank you for all these tips I managed to have a little more fluidity so well now even sibcest slow I can work .. thank you very much in any case!!

 

I put my pb solved!!

Thank you!!
