[CATIA] Reverse Engineer

Functional Value

Semi-automated generation for character lines coupled with Curve & Surface networks as new feature (keeping history) open door to much faster iterative practices, saving 30 % productivity. Preparing data to position scan in 3D also gets much faster through new "Best Fit" algorithm

User Experience Value

Network approach for surface reconstruction against complex shape scans gets easier and more intuitive as Curve & Surace networks gets fully re-designed.

30% productivity gain in surface network reconstruction on 3DEXP-R2021xFD04

Gain significant productivity with new preview and automatic generation of character lines within Curve Network Preparation

Curve Network command is re-designed as a feature, providing various analysis to check curves deviation and tolerance compliancy before generating the network

Surface network also gets re-designed as a feature -embedding Curve Network command- providing easier iterative methods to find the best surface patchwork able to fit the reference scan within expected tolerance

Editing new Surface Network enables a local workflow within this "super feature" on which user is able to iterate at any stage: targeted continuities, surface priority, fitting tolerance, various shortcut to display tools, including fitting measurement, an


Surface Network generated mathematics gets optimized too, nurbs flow are smoothed, targeting natural patch wherever relevant and trying to fix natural surface boundaries where it makes best sense
