3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x: Advanced Surface Design

Please note: The print version of this guide is printed in black and white with images in grayscale.

The 3D EXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x Advanced Surface Design learning guide expands on the knowledge learned in the 3DEXPERENCE CATIA 2022x: Introduction to Surface Design learning guide by covering advanced curve and surface topics found in the Generative Shape Design Application. Topics include advanced curve construction, advanced swept, blend and offset surface construction, complex fillet creation, and the use of laws.

Curve and surface analysis are introduced for users to validate their model's geometry. Tools and methods for rebuilding geometry are also discussed. As with the 3DEXPERENCE CATIA 2022x: Introduction to Surface Design learning guide, meeting model specifications (such as continuity settings) remains forefront in introducing tools and methodologies.
