CATIA | How to Create an Axis System in 1 Minute!

The Axis System in CATIA (typically referred to as the Current Axis System, or CAS) is perhaps the single most foundational element in any design. It's not just a visual reference; it's the mathematical anchor for every piece of geometry you create. Understanding why it's critical is key to moving from simple part design to complex, multi-component assemblies. The Role of the CATIA Axis System The Foundation of Parametric Modeling CATIA is a parametric modeling software, meaning that all geometry is defined by relationships, not just absolute coordinates. The Axis System provides the origin (0,0,0) and the orientation (X, Y, and Z directions) that defines these relationships.

CATIA Surface Modeling | How to Combine two Sketches

The Savvy Engineer

The Combine feature in CATIA’s Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench is an essential tool for shaping, refining, and controlling surface geometry. It allows designers to merge, intersect, or trim surfaces in order to create smooth transitions and unified shapes. This feature is particularly valuable in industries that rely on complex surface modeling—such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial design—because it provides the precision needed to form continuous and aesthetically consistent surfaces.
