CATIA V5-6R2018: Introduction to Surface Design

The CATIA V5-6R2018: Introduction to Surface Design learning guide introduces the fundamentals of creating wireframe and surface geometry. This guide takes an in-depth look at process-based modeling techniques used to develop robust and flexible surface geometry. With the design intent as the focus, you learn about shape and continuity settings for simple and complex geometry types. Topics Covered Surfacing terminology - Surface design process - Creating wireframe geometry - Creating simple surfaces - Creating complex surfaces - Performing operations on wireframe and surface geometry - Working with surface geometry in the Part Design Workbench - Geometrical Element Management - Surface Fillets - Boundary Representations - Best practices for surface modeling Prerequisites Access to the V5-6R2018 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Dassault Systèmes may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (i.e., V5-6R2017). - Completion of the CATIA V5-6R2018: Introduction to Modeling course is recommended.
