Design a Windmill Blade (very easy)

6 0 Beginner
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.

Hello! I have been using CATIA since 2009 and I use some custom hotkeys as presented within the video. I have started to use custom hotkeys after several year, when I got into SolidWorks and Fusion 360. Looking forward to hear from you, feel free to add comments regarding your CATIA experience and your custom hotkeys!

CATIA V5 - Imagine & Shape - Revolute is a tool that allows you to create and manipulate revolutionary shapes. A revolutionary shape is a shape that is created by rotating a 2D profile around an axis. This tool is particularly useful for creating complex and organic shapes, such as those found in nature or in industrial design.

[VIDEO] Design a Cargo Hull with Clay Modeling

Dear Community, This video is the 8th Edition of DESIGN Fast tutorial. The goal is to reproduce quickly (15-20min) the shape of a cargo hull, in order to reuse it for detail design/simulation/manufacturing. With CATIA Imagine & Shape you can easily shape an accurate 3Dmodel (Class-A surface). It is similar to clay modeling. The model will not be frozen, so you can always modify the shape and reuse afterwards. * Feel free to modify the shape as you want after doing the video. There are many different type of Hull in the Marine Industry ! Find the 3D Model on this GrabCad link: https://grabcad.com/library/cargo-hull-1 Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe :)
