Tutorial demonstrates basic solid modeling using L-shaped cross section. Solid modeling involves creating solids from two-dimensional shapes. Tutorials cover extrusion, revolution, and sweeping modeling methods
Faster tool for removing material with surface or plane. Shows cutting direction arrow in graphics area. Allows hiding or deleting cutting surface. Supports cutting all or selected bodies in multibody files
Solid modeling converts concepts to real 3D models. Basic shapes include blocks, cylinders, cones, spheres, and ellipsoids. Datum creation enables parallel modeling to planes or other entities
CREO Parametric is a user-friendly parametric CAD platform for mechanical design. Conical shapes with variable pitch recommended for injection molding. New part creation starts with surface features in Surface Mode
Sketcher workbench is used to draw sketches for solid model creation. Most CATIA designs combine sketched, placed, and derived features. Base sketch is first sketch needed to create solid model
Union tool combines parts into single solid UnionOperation. Intersect tool merges overlapping parts into single IntersectOperation. Negate tool subtracts part shape from other parts during union. Separate tool reverses operations into individual parts
