Features: CATIA is a powerful mechanical design software, widely used in the global aerospace, mechanical, and automotive manufacturing industries. One of its key distinctions 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 gain a comprehensive understanding of the various commands for curves and surfaces. The book introduces commands from a total of 8 workbenches: 1) WireframeSurface (Wireframe and Surface Design Workbench); 2) FreeStyleShaper, OptimizerProfiler (FreeStyle Sketch Workbench); 3) FreeStyleSketchTracer (FreeStyle Sketch Drawing Workbench); 4) GenerativeShapeDesignOptimizer (Generative Shape Design and Optimization Workbench); 5) DigitizedShapeEditor (Digitized Shape Editor Workbench); 6) QuickSurfaceReconstruction (Surface Quick Reconstruction 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 their design work.
