[VIDEO] Topology Optimization on a Bracket

Maxime Chagnot
in Modeling
9 3 Beginner
Hello Everyone, This new video is an introduction to Topology Optimization on the 3DExperience Release 19x. Functional Generative Design application brings the best of CATIA (design) and SIMULIA (topology optimization) in order for you to create light and robust parts. This video will show you the entire topology optimization process on a aluminium bracket that can handle 500N (50kg). You will see how to create a design space and add the functional regions. Then you will create a mesh, add loads and constraints and run a structural simulation. After that you will setup the topology optimization parameters and run the job. The result will be a lighter version of the part. you can run another simulation to validate the result. The organic geometry will be automatically generated. This result can be used for 3D Printed. However if you do not have a 3D Printer, it is also possible to generate a prismatic solid based on machining rules. Hope you will enjoy this video!

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.

https://youtu.be/OlRkCLi2Jj4 Hello CATIA 3DExperience Fans, Here is my last tutorial Design Fast #4 edition! I will learn you how to design a pipe between 2 parts in Assembly Design. 1 part is fixed and can be manually moved. The pipe will automatically follow the new position and update the curve between the 2 parts. Do no hesitate to add comments or send me message about new topics for instance!

https://youtu.be/jFvcoBDpU8s Dear 3DExperience and CATIA Fans, A lot of my customers asked me "how can we transform a product to a part like in CATIA V5?" and the answer → Derived Representation feature in CATIA Assembly Design. In the video you can see how to transform a small assembly to a part and make a cut. You can keep the links with original parts and change parameters.

Hello all, we wanted to do a new Design Fast tutorial for replying to a follower ;) In this 7th edition of Design Fast, I will show you how to make a basic Wind Turbine Blade using Imagine & Shape, the Clay modeling application in CATIA 3DExperience R19x on Cloud. ** We want to highlight the fact that I am neither a Class-A Surface Designer or an Aeronautic Engineer. This tutorial will not show you how to design a proper blade for CFD Analysis. You should use NACA Profile generated either by Excel or Matlab. However you can redo this tutorial for learning the tool, and use the result for Rendering and presentation purpose ** Just Enjoy the video and try to redo it on your side.

https://youtu.be/8DqwRw4tXl4 Dear CATIA Fans, Today's video is about keeping link between parts in CATIA 3DExperience R19x. The video is divided in 3 Parts: 1) First, you will make the plastic cover part using 2 different bodies (cover and ribs). You will use the union trim feature to assemble the 2 bodies and obtain a nice result ;) 2) One method to to remove the SSD from the Cover is to Copy/Paste Special "as result" the SSD body into the Cover 3DShape and remove it from the PartBody. 3) The second method to achieve this result is to use the feature Protected in Assembly Design. The result is very similar, but you also have the option for offsetting a surface around the part. Please Like, Comments, Subscribe and Share :)

https://youtu.be/XQ0Q6M66ToM This tutorial shows you how to transform a multi-patches surface into a clean surface. With the surface simplification functionality, you can merge patches together and obtain a proper surface. Combined with the healing feature, you fill the small gaps and connect all the patches together. To verify if the surface you can offset it to see if it is fully healed. The final step is to open the SIMULIA Structural Model Creation application, to mesh the surface and see why is it useful to clean the surface first.

Hello all! By popular demand, here is a new ENOVIA Video dealing about Minor and Major Revisions in 3DExperience Release 19x. First you will see how to enable the minor revision mode on the Web Dashboard with the Collaborative Spaces Control application. Then you will make an assembly with 2 parts. You will open the parts separately and perform a minor revision on the first part and a major revision on the second part. After that, you will implement the new revision in the assembly using product edition in ENOVIA collaborative lifecycle application. Hope this was helpful :)

Hello Everyone, This new video will give you an introduction to Weld Design application in CATIA 3DExperience R20x. Before doing the tutorial, you should import the Welding Resources in the platform. Watch this video to do it: https://youtu.be/5oXbP_Ht9Ho In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a Weld Bundles in an assembly and create several Weld Lines between parts. The power of this app is that the Weld lines are fully associative with you design! If you move the part in the assembly, the Weld lines will follow the position and update geometry if changes are made. Find the 3D model on this GrabCad link: https://grabcad.com/library/assembly-welded-1 Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe ;) * I am not an expert on Weld Symbol, so I might be wrong on the Drafting scene. I just wanted to show you the capabilities of the software. ** Special thanks to Vegar Kobbevik for helping me doing this video!
