CATIA Product Knowledge Template 1 (KT1) allows
the instancing of feature, part and assembly templates,
created using CATIA Product Knowledge Templates 2 (PKT), and
their modification through the use of appropriate input values
and geometry references.
The powerful features of CATIA Version 5 allow
the intelligence built into such templates to be highly
adaptive to its usage context. Instances of these templates
also take advantage of the CATIA Catalogue infrastructure to
allow easy access to templates references.
In the extended enterprise, this allows other
groups to re-use knowledge encapsulated within such templates
through the application of best practices. At the same time,
it restricts their ability to fully examine the intellectual
capital, protecting the expertise of the creating organization
while still facilitating its reuse. This significantly
improves design productivity and can promote standardization
of design methodology.
CATIA Product Knowledge Template 1 (KT1) fits
the needs of all types of designers in all industries. The
Product Knowledge Template solution consists of a build time
product, CATIA Product Knowledge Template 2 (PKT), and a
runtime solution, CATIA Product Knowledge Template 1 (KT1).
