AutoCAD Training Overview

This training guide expands on the knowledge learned in the CATIA: Introduction to Surface Design training guide by covering advanced curve and surface topics found in the Generative Shape Design Workbench. Topics include: advanced curve construction, advanced swept, blend and offset surface construction, complex fillet creation, and the use of laws. Curve and surface analysis are introduced to validate the student’s geometry. Tools and methods for rebuilding geometry are also discussed.
As with the CATIA: Introduction to Surface Design training guide, meeting model specifications (such as continuity settings) remains forefront in introducing tools and methodologies.
