Welcome to the Generative Shape Design User's Guide !

This guide is intended for users who need to become quickly familiar with the product

This overview provides the following information:

Generative Shape Design in a Nutshell

The Generative Shape Design workbench allows you to quickly model both simple and complex

shapes using wireframe and surface features It provides a large set of tools for creating and editing shape designs and, when combined with other products such as Part Design, it meets the

requirements of solid-based hybrid modeling

The featubased approach offers a productive and intuitive design environment to capture and re-use design methodologies and specifications

This new application is intended for both the expert and the casual user Its intuitive interface offers the possibility to produce precision shape designs with very few interactions The dialog boxes are self explanatory and require practically no methodology, all defining steps being commutative

As a scalable product, Generative Shape Design can be used with other Version 5 products such as Part Design and FreeStyle Shaper and Optimizer The widest application portfolio in the industry is also accessible through interoperability with CATIA Solutions Version 4 to enable support of the full product development process from initial concept to product in operation

This User's Guide has been designed to show you how to create and edit a surface design part There

are numerous techniques to reach the final result This book aims at illustrating these various

possibilities

Before Reading this Guide

Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document

windows, standard and view toolbars Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 5 products It also describes

the general layout of V5 and the interoperability between workbenches

You may also like to read the following complementary product guides:

Getting the Most Out of this Guide

To get the most out of this guide, we suggest that you start reading and performing the step-by-step

Getting Started tutorial This tutorial will show you how create a basic shape design part

Once you have finished, you should move on to the Basic Tasks and Advanced Tasks sections, which deal with handling all the product functions

The Workbench Description section, which describes the Generative Shape Design workbench, and the Customizing section, which explains how to set up the options, will also certainly prove useful

Navigating in the Split View mode is recommended This mode offers a framed layout allowing direct access from the table of contents to the information

Accessing Sample Documents

To perform the scenarios, sample documents are provided all along this documentation For more information on accessing sample documents, refer to Accessing Sample Documents in the

Infrastructure User's Guide.

Certain conventions are used in CATIA, ENOVIA & DELMIA documentation to help you recognize and understand important concepts and specifications
