Reverse Engineering: Power Fit

8 0 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

2 0 Intermediate
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.

CATIA V5 UDF: TUBES MEASUREMENT

1 0 Intermediate
If you have ever worked with an imported geometry of a tube, you probably know, that CATIA doesn't provide any tool to measure a bend radius. If there is no centerline, measuring a bend radius or centerline radius requires an extra geometry. Our target is to create an UDF, which can be used for measuring bend radius, center line radius and bend angle of a dead geometry of a tube. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VISIT MY BLOG TO FIND MORE USEFUL TIPS: http://catia-tnt.blogspot.de/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CATIA V5: POLYGON UDF

0 0 Intermediate
The goal is to create an UDF to generate polygons. The inputs are point (center point), plane and a line (which controls orientation). The UDF allows user to change number of sides, radius of reference circle and to switch between inscribed and circumscribed polygon.
