Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of engineering and product design, precision and accuracy are paramount. From aerospace and automotive industries to electronics and consumer goods, engineers face a growing need to simulate, analyze, and optimize their products before they even hit the drawing board. This is where ANSYS, a powerful simulation software suite, enters the…

There are many software solutions with advanced features that will allow you to work on really technical projects. Here is our selection of the best software to work with for your next mechanical engineering projects. Find out all the modeling and design tools that you need. Fusion 360 Fusion 360 is a great CAD software tool…

CATIA software is a multi-platform software suite for computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, PLM and 3D, developed by the French company Dassault Systèmes.Let’s Take a look at the basics of CATIA V5 in this article. 1: Introduction INTRODUCTION TO CAD:Computer Aided Design-CAD is defined the use of information technology (IT) in the Design process….

1) Explain what is SolidWorks? SolidWorks is a computer aided design tool or software that runs on Microsoft Windows. 2) List out the major difference between the AutoCAD and SolidWorks? The significant difference between the SolidWorks and AutoCAD is that AutoCAD was designed and developed as a 2D package and later evolved into a 3D package while…

1.1 Create a ‘notebook’ In order to start using Mathematica software, you first have to create the file you will be working on, which is called ‘notebook’. To create it, right click on the ‘New Document’ button and select ‘Notebook’. The interface looks like this:  1.2 Create a Cell Once you enter the Notebook interface,…

3D scanning and 3D printing are increasingly linked technologies, there are specific tools in CATIA to transform a 3D scan into a printable model. For this you have to go into the “Digitized Shape Editor” workbench that is in the “shape” menu. “Filter” Tool This tool provides an easy and precise way to reduce the…

Automatic “Mesh cleaner” tool Run a scan with the mesh cleaning tool, which notifies you of any non-manifold edges or points. If you are in the “suppression” tab, click “apply”. Errors are suppressed but can sometimes leave holes in your mesh. Don’t hesitate to run several successive analyses since removing points / edges in the…

“Fill holes” tools “Fill holes” is quite an efficient tool, offering many settings that can solve most cases of non-watertight meshes. To do this, click the icon located in the sidebar, the holes are then detected and a window opens with several options: ·         The “hole size” allows you to select only the holes whose size…

Useful tools Before starting this chapter on repairing the most common issues when preparing your data for 3D printing, here is a description of some tools that will be useful later. “Activate” tool This tool allows you to select the mesh points you need to work on. You will be able to use conventional tools…

General information An “Information” icon that informs you about the geometry of the mesh can be found at the bottom of the toolbar. Automatic error detection Once your mesh has been generated, you can use the “mesh cleaning” tool in the side toolbar. This tool is quite limited as it merely permits errors detection. We…
