Designing a spanner in CATIA involves creating a 3D model of the tool using parametric and freeform modeling techniques. The process begins by defining the spanner's functional requirements, such as its size, shape, and material properties. To start, create a new part in CATIA and set the units to millimeters. Then, sketch out the basic geometry of the spanner, including its handle, head, and jaws. Use the sketching tools to define the curves and lines that will make up the tool's design. Next, use the feature-based modeling techniques in CATIA to create the various features of the spanner, such as holes, slots, and fillets. These features can be created using a variety of methods, including extrusions, sweeps, and lofts. As the design takes shape, use the analysis tools in CATIA to simulate the behavior of the spanner under different loading conditions. This will help ensure that the tool is strong enough to withstand the forces it will encounter during use. Once the design is complete, use the manufacturing tools in CATIA to generate a production-ready plan for the spanner. This will include detailed drawings and specifications for the tool's construction.
