CATIA V5: Generative Sheetmetal Design
Learn how you can make use of both standard and user-defined materials
OVERVIEW
- CLASSROOM LENGTH: 2 days
- INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE LENGTH: 4 days
PREREQUISITES: CATIA V5 Fundamentals.
DESCRIPTION: This course will teach you how to create a sheet metal part using the standard wall, bend and stamping features. You will view how user features can be incorporated into a design and how you can make use of both standard and user-defined materials. Finally, you will learn how to create a flat pattern and produce a detailed, annotated drawing.
LESSON PLAN
Lesson 1:
Getting Started
- In this module, you will study the user interface of the Sheet Metal Design workbench. You will also learn how to define sheet metal parameters.
Lesson 2:
Creating Sheetmetal Walls
- Learn how to create primary and secondary sheet metal walls. You will also learn how to convert a part design model into a sheet metal design model.
Lesson 3:
Creating Bends and Unfolded Mode
- Learn how to create various types of bends. You will also learn about various reliefs and how to apply them.
Lesson 4:
Using Flanges
- Learn about various types of flanges and how to create them. You will also learn tips to create them properly and easily.
Lesson 5:
Creating Sheet Metal Features
- Learn how to create sheet metal features like holes, cutouts and stamps. You will also learn to apply dress-up features like fillets and chamfers.
Lesson 6:
Using Transformations and Duplication
- Learn how to create multiple instances of a feature using patterns and powercopies. You will also learn to move, rotate or scale features.
Lesson 7:
About Mapping and Output
- In this module, you will study various types of mapped elements and how to map the points and curves. You will learn to generate output in the DXF format.
Lesson 8:
About Advanced Topics in Sheet Metal Design
- Learn to import the sheet metal parameters and apply them. You will also learn to work with multiple bodies using the multi-body approach
Lesson 9:
Master Exercise: Create the Casing
- In this exercise, you will design a casing by creating walls and bends. You will also practice to create sheet metal features and duplicate them.
