I was asked how to make the my Ducati seat cowl in Catia. Unfortunately, I haven't worked in Catia for years, the model was made in Solidworks. Having worked in ProE, CATIA and Solidworks - though menu pics and verbiage may be different, they and other systems, are all capable of creating the same features with similar steps. I created a simplified PDF that shows the basic - steps taken to create this seat. These steps can be used as a frame work to design a wide variety of parts and on several CAD platforms. There are a lot of ways to do things, hopefully you find some of this useful. The model can be downloaded from GrabCAD. It is named: Ducati 996 / 998 Cafe Race Seat.

Adidas X18+ Soccer Boot Surfacing

Intermediate
We are going to learn to model the Adidas X18+ soccer boot using surfacing techniques. These are the cleats worn in 2018 by Luis Suarez and Mohamed Salah, among others. The preferred software for this tutorial is Solidworks but any program with comparable surfacing techniques such as CATIA, Rhinoceros and Alias will work. It is an intermediate course because we are touching on advanced surfacing techniques but only develop a basic model of the shoe that can be developed much further.

This time we will see how to use 3D Sketches to make profiles and guide curves to create surfaces. Also how to use them to make auxiliary surfaces to reference them for tangency and curvature. And we will see how to use the excellent tool of the multiple views to work more comfortable in the three dimensional space. Don't miss the next lesson...

This is chapter 13 of the course. We will do the modeling exercise of a Hair Dryer, completely on surfaces, using the last tools learned so far. You can download the SDPRT file from here: https://grabcad.com/library/hair-dryer-surface-excercise-1 The best combination for this tutorial, is to download the file, open it in SW and follow the tutorial steps. Don't miss the next chapters with more important surface modeling topics.

Chapter 11 of the mini course. This time we will do another practice exercise (Nr. 3). A cover for an electronic device with its button panel. In it we will learn how to use Hybrid Modeling, a combination of solid modeling techniques and surface modeling techniques. We recommend downloading the SLDPRT file from here: https://grabcad.com/library/housing-for-electronic-device-1 So you can follow the tutorial with the file opened in SolidWorks.
