Reverse Engineering: Power Fit
Maxime Chagnot

Intermediate
This video shows you how to transform a cloud mesh (based on a "STL" file) into a proper surface. It is a reverse engineering topic where you have a hull that you cannot work on. With the dedicated Digitized Shape applications, you can transform this mesh into a surface using the PowerFit feature. You will obtain a surface that is very near from the original mesh, with a maximal deviation of 0.972 mm.

[VIDEO] Power Copy for Cutout Sheet Metal - CATIA 3DExperience R19x

Hello Everyone, In this new tutorial, I will show you how to create a Power Copy of a Profile that you reuse as a cutout on a Sheet Metal curved plate. You will first create a double curved surface on Generative Shape Design application. You will also place several Points and axis system to position the future cutouts profile. After that you will learn how to create the Power Copy from scratch. It is very important in that step that you create your referential (point, plane and lines). Finally, you will transform the surface to a sheet metal part and you will reuse the Power Copy to make several cutouts in the plate. Power Copy is a powerful tool, that will reduce the time spent on repetitive task. Find the models on this grabcad links: - https://grabcad.com/library/metal-plate-cutout-1 - https://grabcad.com/library/power-copy-for-sheetmetal-cutout-1 Please like, comment, share and subscribe :)

After some research, I found that some commands can be replaced by (let’s say) a Command ID which obviously is not in the documentation. All details here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/commands-lists-catia-3dexperience-catiav5-fernando-petre/

This video shows you how to transform a cloud mesh (based on a "STL" file) into a proper surface. It is a reverse engineering topic where you have a hull that you cannot work on. With the dedicated Digitized Shape applications, you can transform this mesh into a surface using the Surfaces Network feature. This method is different from the PowerFit, you create a grid on the mesh, that you fill with small patches. This procedure is less automated, so you need to join and heal the patches together.

Here is a second video of Design Fast, showing you in roughly 10 minutes how you can design a curved triangular structure. Use wireframe in GSD to build the architecture of the structure and complete it using Part Design. Then edit the spine, update the model and enjoy the result! The demo has been performed in the 3DExperience on Cloud.
