The 3DEXPERIENCE 2022x: Introduction to CATIA Surface Design learning
guide introduces the fundamentals of creating wireframe and surface geometry.
This guide takes an in-depth look at process-based modeling techniques used to
develop robust and flexible surface geometry. With the design intent as the focus,
you learn about shape and continuity settings for simple and complex geometry
types.
Topics Covered
• Surfacing terminology
• Surface design process
• Creating wireframe geometry
• Creating simple surfaces
• Creating complex surfaces
• Performing operations on wireframe and surface geometry
• Working with surface geometry in the Part Design app
• Geometrical element management
• Surface fillets
• Boundary representations
• Best practices for surface modeling
Prerequisites
• Access to the 3DEXPERIENCE 2022x version of the software, to ensure
compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by
Dassault Systèmes may include changes that are not reflected in this guide.
The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with
prior versions (e.g., 3DEXPERIENCE 2021x).
