How to convert STL to STEP using FreeCAD

Beginner
This tutorial covers how to convert an STL to a STEP using FreeCAD. Note: Since STLs are meshes, the resulting model won't be as precise as parts originally made as solids. FreeCAD can export: - Step - Iges - Scad - Dxf - Dwg - Obj - Pdf And many others…

Design a Windmill Blade (very easy)

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.

The initial design (the cup) is created starting for a sphere. After that the cup is transformed into a Chair. Having the desired Chair shape, the model is scaled and a human mannequin is added to the product list to ensure that the scaling was done proportionally.

Generative Design with solide edge: a case study
Gouza

Beginner
Generative design in Solid Edge integrates advanced topology optimization within the Solid Edge 3D modeling toolkit, helping designers to create lighter components, minimize material waste in downstream manufacturing. Generative design produces an organic, reduced-mass geometric solution of a specific material optimized within a defined space, accounting for permissible loads and constraints. These highly customized designs are well-suited for casting or high-resolution 3D printing, or they can be modified for traditional manufacturing. Generative design in Solid Edge is unique in that it results in “ready-to-print” surface quality. In this video https://youtu.be/XrHjdoLKATk , you’ll learn: - What generative design is, and how it is different - The step-by-step process for creating an optimized shape Please support by subscribing

Simplification Surface and Surface Mesh

Beginner
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.

Beginner
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!

Design an Easter Egg

Hi! I wish you all a Happy Easter 2019!! This is a new Design Fast Tutorial (nb.5) and of course I wanted to show you how we could design a simple Easter Egg on CATIA using shape design. The purpose of this video is to highlight a new feature in Generative Shape Design called Disconnect. First, we will start by making an egg on a geometrical set (surface design) then sketch some curved lines and project them on the egg. we will use the disconnect feature to create several patches on the model. The second phase will focus on transform this shape into a solid. Use the automatic fillet to smooth our egg and just have fun by coloring it! Do no hesitate to add comments or send me message about new topics for instance!
