What is the course
Course Overview
This course will teach you how to create curves and surfaces using the Generative Shape Design workbench. You will learn how to analyse the wireframe and surface quality and rectify the defects. You will also learn how to work in a multi-model environment with published surfaces.
What you learn
Learning Objectives
- Understand and use the tools in the Generative Shape Design workbench.
- Create good quality curves based on sound and improved wire-frame geometry.
- Assemble, re-limit and connect the surfaces to get a topology.
- Analyse surface quality and rectify the defects.
- Manage surfaces in a multi-model environment
What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: Introduction to Generative Shape Design
- In this lesson, you will be introduced to the User interface of the Generative Shape Design workbench.
- You will learn how to create geometrical sets and to manage features in the specification tree.
Lesson 2: Wireframe Creation
- In this lesson, you will learn how to create reference geometry and 3D curves.
- You will also learn how to analyse and manage the curve continuity.
Lesson 3: Surface Creation
- In this lesson, you will learn to create surfaces using the existing wireframe geometry.
- You will use the various surface tools such as Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Multi-Section and Mid-Surface.
Lesson 4: Surface Re-Limitation and Connection
- In this lesson, you will learn to use various re-limitation tools such as split and trim.
- You will also connect surfaces smoothly using fillets and blends.
Lesson 5: Surface Check Tools
- In this lesson, you will learn to analyse and repair surface discontinuities.
- You will also learn to analyse parts for their moldability before manufacturing.
Lesson 6: Work in Multi-Model Environment
- In this lesson, you will learn how to create a model in the multi-model environment using the publication tool, in the assembly context.
Training Methods
Choose from three different training methods available to you
Group / Classroom Training
Receive CATIA V5 Surface Design training in a group in a traditional classroom environment. Courses can be taken in one of our training locations in the UK, Ireland, US or Canada using DS approved training content and methodologies.
Advantages
- Cost effective training method.
- Leave the office to concentrate on learning.
- Learn more through group questions and feedback.
Live Online Training
With online training you will experience an interactive learning environment where you can give feedback, gain access to the training files and get time to work on training exercises.
Advantages
- Online courses can maximise convenience and save on travel expenses.
- More effective than video based training, with recorded videos learners are often not as focused on the training and skip exercises.
On-Site Training
Receive training at your place of work. This style of flexible training is perfect for teams or individuals who are faced with a specific challenge and require personalized courses with on-the-job coaching.
Advantages
- Use our state-of-the-art mobile classroom at your facility.
- Bring your team up to a consistent level of knowledge by having them take the same training at the same time.
- Benefit from flexible scheduling options.
