V5 Surface DesignLesson 1: Introduction to Generative Shape DesignAbout this CourseIntroductionCATIA is a robust application that enables you to create rich and complex designs. The goal of the course‘CATIA V5 for Surfaces’ is to teach you how to build basic and advanced surfaces using Generative ShapeDesign workbench, and how to create a complex part in a simple way. This course focuses on the surfacedesign concepts that enable you to achieve simple and complex shapes for your designs.Course Design PhilosophyThis course is designed using a process-based approach to training. This course emphasizes on theprocesses and procedures required to complete a particular task, rather than individual features andfunctions. Using the case studies to illustrate these processes, you will learn the necessary commands,options, and menus within the context of completing a design task.Target Audience Users familiar with CATIA V5 Fundamentals Users who want to learn how to create advanced Mechanical SurfacesCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESPrerequisitesStudents attending this course must be familiar with: CATIA V5 Fundamentals Microsoft Windows Operating System3 daysInstructor Notes: Speech:Introduce the course. Explain the prerequisites for this course.The course will run 2 days.You should view the student manual as a supplement to, not a replacement for, thesystem documentation and on-line help.

V5 Surface DesignSurface Design Workbench General Process (1/2)Generative Shape Design (GSD) plays an important role in the process of Forward and ReverseEngineering in a product design cycle.PhysicalPrototypeImagine & ShapeExternalSystemsQuick SurfaceReconstructionMulti-CAD ModelGenerativeShape Design(GSD)Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESSimpleConceptualModelingSketch TracerFreestyleInstructor Notes: Speech:Explain that all the simple and complex shapes can be easily modeled in Generativeshape design workbench. The workbench facilitates the design of shapes through theprocess of forward engineering or reverse engineering. GSD Workbench in combinationwith workbenches (dedicated for Forward and reverse engineering processes) canproduce feature based and intuitive designs.For example, the designer can quickly design a rough shape or concept in Imagine andShape workbench and then shift to Generative shape design workbench to constructsurfaces either by extracting or creating new associative surfaces.The Input can be in the form a conceptual renderings from a stylist or a photograph,which can be placed in Freestyle workbench (FSK) workbench.GSD and FSS workbench can be used to trace out all the curves in the photographs andsurfaces can be generated.Or the Designer may get a reverse engineered data like scans, point cloud data byscanning a physical prototype, then the scanned data is analyzed in Quick surfacereconstruction and Digitized shape editor and then GSD can be used to createassociative surfaces.Different companies may be involved in the development of a product which may beusing different CAD platforms other than V5, in such cases designer can import this multiCAD data in V5 to construct surfaces in GSD.%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES8

V5 Surface DesignStep 2: Managing Features in Specification TreeIn this section, you will learn in detail abouttools to manage features in GSD workbench.Use the following steps:1. Introduction to Generative ShapeDesignCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES2.Managing Features inSpecification TreeInstructor Notes: Speech:Introduce the step%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES10
V5 Surface DesignManaging Features and Geometrical SetsAs you build complex geometries, management of yourmodel becomes important. A good structured model,with logical grouping of geometries gives a betterunderstanding of the design process.An organized model has the following advantages:A.Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESB.C.D.Related geometries are clubbed together in (to)groups or setsReduce the size of the Specification treeIt is easier to reorder and replace featuresThe root cause of the problem can be easilyidentified.Instructor Notes: Speech:Here we talk about the importance of managing the GSD containers:- Complex geometryNeed to structure features in a logical way to be able to:Better understand the design process of the part: we have seen that the specificationswere captured to be able to come back later on a parent feature: the better the model isorganized, the easier it will be to find the right feature to manipulate and to understandthe impacts of this manipulationPart readability by reducing tree size%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES11
V5 Surface DesignGeometrical SetsGeometrical set (GS): default container forwireframe and surface elements.In a Geometrical Set, the order is not importantB.Geometrical Set enables to organize thespecification treeC.As many Geometrical Sets as needed can beadded to the model.Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESA.Let us discover the manipulations ongeometrical sets (GSD Interface.CATPart)Instructor Notes: Speech:Here we see what is a geometrical set and how it behaves:First: beware when you use a geometrical set because the features are not displayedaccording to the update logical order. It just “contains” features.Some specificities of the GS:A. You can put any surface element you wish in the geometrical set and they need notbe in a structured logical way. The order of these elements is not important as theiraccess and their visualization is managed independently without any rule.SO: In a GS, a child feature can exist or can be reordered before the parent feature.B. gather various features in a same set or sub-sets and organize the specification tree.C. For example, one GS can be dedicated to contain only wireframes while the other cancontain surfaces.% Show:Briefly Demonstrate that you can add many GS and that you can create GS in existingGSDemonstrate the manipulations that can be done on a GS (reorder, insert ) and saythat more detail is available in the book%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES12
V5 Surface DesignOrdered Geometrical setsAn Ordered Geometrical Set (OGS) isa Geometrical Set in which theupdate order is taken into accountto order the features.Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESDefine in work objectis possibleLet us discover the OGS behavior(OGS.CATPart)Instructor Notes: Speech:Create geometry with history features you create have parentsorder in the geometries that are created with GSD.there’s an updateIn a OGS: the order of the features must respect this update order.For instance: I cannot place a point before a plane in the tree if the point is placed on theplane because the plane is the parent of the point.OGS are equivalent to part design bodiesAnd so (like in bodies): features can be defined in work objectthe design process of a partOGS help understandAnother characteristic of the OGS:Creation features create a new object in the tree and modification features create a newstate in an existing object as well as absorb the preceding state(s).Absorbed features are no longer visible nor accessible, as if ''masked''by their absorbingfeature. State that in the example above, Sweep.1 is used to create Join.1 gets absorbedin it. % Show:Use part OGS with already created geometry and show the define in work object andalso the impossibility to reorder as you want. Show the scan and what it does when youexit the scan (compare OGS and GS)%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES13
V5 Surface DesignGeometrical Set Vs Ordered Geometrical SetCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESSr.No.Geometrical Sets (GS)Ordered Geometrical Sets (OGS)1Elements in this set can be shuffled irrespective oftheir sequence of creation.Elements in this set maintain the linearity withrespect to their order of creation.2The parent element in this set is not absorbed afterany operation. Hence an element can be used &reused at different levels.The parent in this set is absorbed after performingan operation and cannot be reused again.3Features in this set cannot be set as “in workobject”Any feature in this set can be set as “in workobject” and the features located after it are neitheraccessible nor visible.4Maintains better flexibility.Maintains better linearity for understanding thedesign flow.5Geometrical Sets cannot be converted to OrderedGeometrical Sets.Ordered Geometrical Sets can be converted toGeometrical sets.6Two or more features can be grouped to form a“Grouped Geometrical Set”.Ordered Geometrical Sets cannot be grouped.It is recommended to use OGS when you want to maintain linearity in your model.Use Geometrical Sets if you want to design a model with the existing surfaces.Instructor Notes: Speech:To recap what we have seen and what you have manipulated in the previous exerciseOGS helps to maintain parent children relationships, but prevents re-using creationfeaturesYou can reorder the features in the OGS only by respecting parent child relationsGS helps to re-use creation features but scanning of the part is not possible. %Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES14
V5 Surface DesignHybrid DesignHybrid Design provides you with a high degree offlexibility while structuring the design.Generative Shape Design (GSD) features available in the partdesign stacking commandsCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESHybrid: Wireframe/surface features integration in update cycle of the body:Better understanding of the partUseful when the design is a close mix of both solids and surfacesNon Hybrid: Allows you to efficiently sort out the solid:Useful when the surfaces and wireframe are a preliminary design to the solid but are notintegrated to the solid conceptionAllows you to efficiently manipulate (hide/show) objects which are not solid, and that too with lessnumber of clicks.Instructor Notes: Speech:Explain to students that they have the possibility to mix solid and ordered surfacesfeatures if they choose to work in hybrid mode in GSD.HYBRID CONTAINER:- the bodies ARE by default the containers that will welcome the solids and the surfaces(as seen on the picture).- the container can be an OGS if you insert it at startupbody (not possible if non hybrid mode)%Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESthe OGS is then inserted in the15

V5 Surface DesignManaging Features in Specification TreeCommonly used Feature Management ToolsCopyright DASSAULT SYSTEMESIn complex models, features must be structured ina logical way. It helps in better understanding ofthe designing process and reduction in tree size.Structuring can be done using a Geometrical Setor an Ordered Geometrical Set.Geometrical Set (GS): This is a default containerfor wireframe and surface elements. The featuresare not displayed according to the logical updateorder.Ordered Geometrical Set (OGS): It takes intoaccount the update order of the features. OGS areequivalent to part design bodies.Instructor Notes:Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES18
