The CATIA V5-6R2017: Advanced Surface Design learning guide expands on the knowledge learned in the CATIA: Introduction to Surface Design learning guide by covering advanced curve and surface topics found in the Generative Shape Design Workbench. Topics include: advanced curve construction, advanced swept, blend and offset surface construction, complex fillet creation, and the use of laws. Curve and surface analysis are introduced to validate the student's geometry. Tools and methods for rebuilding geometry are also discussed. As with the CATIA: Introduction to Surface Design learning guide, meeting model specifications (such as continuity settings) remains forefront in introducing tools and methodologies.
