Minutes of meeting, November 13, 2000  1. Introduction by Terry Parrott.  2. Steve Hotchkiss, L & H Consultants - Presentation on COE fall  conference  - COE website, www.coe.org  - Attendance down, 3 Day format instead of the usual 4 Day format.  - Amount of presentations times were condensed so that more sessions  were scheduled at the same time.  - Many similar domain presentations at the same time, therefore choices  need to be made on what to attend.  - 80% of the presentations were on V5.  - Many hands-on opportunities on software.  - Regional User Group (RUG) program to create a flow between different  user groups in sharing resources (topics & speakers)  - Presentation by Phil Harrison on V5 – getting there… Powerpoint  presentation on our website: www.cuco.org  3. Open Discussion  - Dates suggested Monday February 19, May 14, August 20, November 19  - Meetings to be held at IBM, Markham, Ontario.  - Possible golf tournament for next year.  - V5 –V4 model can be created as a passive model but can a drawing be  associated back into V4?  - Declarations needed to be added in V4 to be able to read V5 into 4.  The computer must have both versions of CATIA and licenses installed.  - History with all the geometry created but the geometry can be  isolated.  - Multi hardware issues between UNIX and NT – naming conventions  important but multi hardware environments work and it is not necessary  to have just UNIX or just NT.  - VPM in Chrysler only works in UNIX which may restrict moving o NT at  this time.  4. Phil Markham, IBM, CATIA Update  - Extreme engineering seminars include presentation on V5 and let  participants use the system.  - Presentation by Phil is available on our website.  5.
