Features: CATIA is a powerful mechanical design software, widely used in the global aerospace, mechanical, and automotive manufacturing industries. One of its major differences from other design software is its capability in handling curves and surfaces. This book provides a detailed introduction to the curve and surface-related commands of the CATIA software. Through this book, readers can comprehensively understand the various commands for curves and surfaces. The book introduces commands from a total of 8 workbenches: 1) WireframeSurface (Line and Surface Design) workbench; 2) FreeStyleShaper, OptimizerProfiler (Free-Style Sketch) workbench; 3) FreeStyleSketchTracer (Free-Style Sketch Drawing) workbench; 4) GenerativeShapeDesignOptimizer (Generative Shape Design and Optimization) workbench; 5) DigitizedShapeEditor (Digitized Shape Editing) workbench; 6) QuickSurfaceReconstruction (Surface Quick Recognition) workbench; 7) StructureDesign (Structure Design) workbench; 8) SheetMetalDesign (Sheet Metal Design) workbench. This book is suitable as a reference for professionals in all fields related to mechanical design, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students as a reference material during design.
