+Advanced Pro/SURFACE Level 2 Workshop

Course Duration: 16 Hours

Tuition: $1000.00 US

Overview: Discuss the many different surfacing styles and techniques. Learn to create and modify conics, splines, datum curves, and datum points.

Prerequisite: Design Engine Level 1 Surface Workshop or 2 months prior use of Pro/SURFACE.

Topics:

• Learn to use conics and the strength they have over splines.
• Overview and discuss what you didn't learn in the PTC workshops.
• Learn to utilize Pro/SURFACE curves and surfaces to effect Solid geometry.
• Manipulate a curve through points using NURBS modeling and techniques (TWEAK).
• Merge, trim, transform, replace and extend surfaces.
• Create solids and cuts using surfaces.
• Utilize new skill sets to smooth out solid material from problem areas and forcing rounds.
• Building more robust curves and surfaces.
• Eliminate isoparms (what PTC calls Knots or Isolines) and discuss other tangency issues.
• Learn about striation or flow of surface.
• Learn the inherent issues and problems with 3 part boundaries
• Start to use Pro/SURFACE as if using ISDX or Alias Studio tools.

Discussions:

• Discuss light reflections from an Industrial Designers perspective.
• Discuss building robust curves and the time saving benefits of a careful plan of attack
• Compare and discuss other surface modeling software to Pro/SURFACE
• Discuss clam shell plastic part design as related to swept surfaces. Also discuss styling grooves with examples.
• Discuss the proper techniques of surface modeling and the ability for others to understand the approach.
• Discuss modifying other designers surface models.
• Discuss in detail surface analysis tools and the practical uses with specific examples.
• Discuss in detail what Industrial Designers studied in College and how as a product engineer you can work more efficiently within the design arena.
