Introduction to Surfacing
Several tools are required to construct basic wireframe and surface geometry.
Many parts can be designed using only solid geometry. Using solid modeling tools
might be limiting as parts become more complex in shape. In these cases, surface
features can be used to define more complex shapes. Parts can be completely
designed using surface features, or a surface model can be brought into the Part
Design workbench to integrate into a solid part.
Learning Objectives in this Chapter
• Understand the definition of a surface in the context of a CATIA model.
• Recognize the components of the surface interface.
• Review surfacing terminology.
• Create a surface model.
