OBJECTIVES OF THE TUTORIAL

These are the objectives we hope to accomplish.

  • Base technology overview
  • Why has it become dominant
  • What to look for when choosing a system
  • What to use it for, and what not to use it for
  • Strengths and weaknesses of the approach
  • How to use this technology productively
  • Alternatives
  • Use in downstream applications
  • We see several new systems each year, and we review and write about them. Now we are sharing with you our secrets about how to understand how the geometry is built.

    If anything the industry is now dominated by such systems and new ones are being introduced continuously. Within the past year 5 such systems have emerged, all at dramatically low price levels and with surprisingly advanced function.


    AGENDA

    Introduction

    1. Profiling and Constraints (2D)

    2. Building the 3D Model

    3. About features

    4. Assembling parts

    5. Creating drawings from models and associatively examined

    6. Related topics: Downstream applications, Hybrid modeling

    Conclusions and what to look for


    ABOUT OUR TUTORIAL TECHNIQUES

    We will examine the methodology, not which ways are best

    We concentrate on 2D at first
