+ISDX (advanced) Pro/SURFACE Level 7 A-Class
surfacing
Course Duration: 16 Hours
Tuition: $1200.00 US
Overview: This workshop has been specifically
designed for those already with a high level of Pro/SURFACE or ISDX experience
or for those who specifically took the Design Engine Level 6 Surfacing
class. This course is for experts looking to gain a better understanding
of G2 Continuity and A-Class surfacing. This class would be great for
those Industrial Designers developing A-Class surfaces in the Automobile
industry as well as designers doing interiors on higher production runs.
Prerequisite: Extensive experience with
Pro/SURFACE and prior ISDX experience required. It is strongly recommended
that you take our Level 2 or 3 Pro/SURFACE workshop prior to this course.
It is not necessary but helpful if the participant already has an understanding
of light reflections and G2 continuity or a basic understanding of A-Class
surfacing.
Topics:
- Compare ISDX to Alias modeling techniques and discuss the differences
between each.
- Discuss three to four part boundaries.
- Create ridiculously robust models utilizing lattice structures.
- Discuss incorporating handles for further control and understanding
over surfaces that look at those curves.
- Students, if interested, can explore curvature continuity (G2) and
multiple plans of attack by looking at existing products. Yes, Pro/SURFACE
can do curvature continuous G2 curves and surfaces.
- This course is usually customized to focus on the students learning
wishes and company projects. Bring example of work or problematic models
on CD ROM for context discussions.
- We supplement this training with techniques utilized by Alias, which
primarily used in the automotive industry.
- Hands on efforts through as many as ten tutorials that are illustrated
through computer examples.
- Learn to use Surface Edit tools for modeling a human face, bionic
finger and a Harley Seat and make significant modifications to surface
geometry that would otherwise require remodeling all while maintaining
tangency or g2 continuity.
- Compare to Alias Studio of similar functionality to discuss modern
modeling techniques used in the auto industry.
Discussion:
- Discuss the ability to prove form and the techniques to get multiple
3D iterations within hours instead of days.
- Discuss with specific examples advanced functions of Pro/SURFACE
as well as the strengths and weaknesses by comparing it to other hi-end
industry surfacing software such as Alias Studio or Auto Studio.
- Discuss light reflections from an Industrial Designers perspective,
with respect to G2 Continuity.
- Discuss the strengths for utilizing parametric curves in combinations
with the free form ISDX curves.
- Discuss standard modeling techniques with respect to industry standards.
- Discuss plan of attack and a simple approach for capturing form from
foam models or ID sketches.
Onsite Training:
This course can be customized for specific product lines.
CAD or Product managers should call to inquire about custom tutorial
development and costs for onsite training. We also offer a subscription for
custom tutorials

Note:
This class is administered differently to Engineers who are interested
in capturing form from those industrial designers interested in proving
form using this amazing software.
Expect to be one of two students in this course. This class can be offered
anytime so call 312.226.8339 to schedule with a course coordinator.
