Catia Graphical Representation
CGR stands for CATIA Graphical Representation . This is a CAD data format that is often used for the CAD program CATIA in the digital mock-up (DMU) context. The Catia modules DMU Navigator , DMU Space Analysis , DMU Fitting Simulator , DMU Kinematics Simulator and DMU Optimizer can use CGR files.
Advantages:
- CGR files load faster.
- CGR files require only 10% of the storage space of the CATIA .Model document, which is based on the construction components.
- The complexity of the CGR files is less.
Disadvantage:
- Constructions cannot be created with CGR files because construction conditions are not supported by the file format.
- Relationships between objects cannot be established because they are based on construction components.
- No connections can be created because connections are based on construction conditions.
