Catia V5-6r2018 Ascent - Center for Technical Knowledge

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 CoveredSurfacing terminologySurface design processCreating wireframe geometryCreating simple surfacesCreating complex surfacesPerforming operations on wireframe and surface geometryWorking with surface geometry in the Part Design WorkbenchGeometrical Element ManagementSurface FilletsBoundary RepresentationsBest practices for surface modeling

PrerequisitesAccess 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.
