CATIA V5 R20 - 204 Intermediate Surfacing

CATIA V5 R20 - 204 Intermediate Surfacing Text Course

Course Overview

The Intermediate Surfacing course continues where 104 - Wireframe and Surface left off, teaching you how to create complex surfaces using the CATIA V5 Generative Shape Design workbench. (For some licenses, many of these commands will be found in the Wireframe and Surfacing Design workbench instead.) Upon completion of this course, you’ll know how to use valuable tools to create efficient surface models.

Intended Audience

Designers, Design Engineers, and Manufacturing Engineers who need to understand how to effectively use surfacing modeling for complex shapes and features.

Course Prerequisites

CATIA V5 R20 104 - Wireframe and Surface or equivalent knowledge.
