+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. This course is for intermediate or experts looking to gain a better understanding of G2 Continuity and A-Class surfacing. (This workshop as of late is one of our most popular courses outside of the United States) 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. It is also good for those working with Tractor interiors or large bodies that are highly glossy and stylized surfaces that reside in the open sun.

Prerequisite: Experience with Pro/SURFACE and prior ISDX experience is required for this course. It is strongly recommended you have taken our Level 1 or 2 Pro/SURFACE workshop prior to this course. (the PTC surfacing workshop will not suffice for a prereq. for this A-Class surfacing class) It is not necessary but helpful if the participant already has an understanding of light reflections and have prior experience with working with industrial designers.

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.

• 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 ISDX to other hi-end industry surfacing software such as Alias Studio, Catia or Unigraphics.
• 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.
• Discuss analysis tools and compare these tools to other industry standard tools.
  

Onsite Training:

This course can be customized for specific product lines.  CAD managers or Product managers  should call to inquire about custom tutorial development and costs for onsite training.  We also offer a subscription for custom tutorials or we create custom tutorials at an hourly rate.

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 to schedule.
• This class will not cover basic proe surfacing
  
  
  notice the g2 continuity by focusing on the light reflections on the above hood.
  
  
  this model is the same model as the one below only proved further using ideation technique.
  
  
  This model is proved out from the model above. Using G2 continuity on ergonomic forms helps design engineers working with industrial designers like no other class in the world.
  
  
  This model was built all using Pro/SURFACE to better illustrate the speed and power of using instead ISDX to model the same form all using G2 continuity.
  
  
  This workshop takes seasoned designers or design engineers and pushes them light years ahead by sharing specific modeling techniques and borrowing from our Alias Studio modeling techniques and applying those to specific use inside Wildfire surfacing.
  
  
  Proper technique and workflow is so very important and always overlooked in other classes. We found that by focusing on proper modeling techniques that participants in our courses learn so much more.
  
  
  Discuss g2 continuity with respect to workflow. i.e. increasing specular highlight to aid in understanding tangency conditions. Pro/E wildfire 3.0 model rendered in Maya complements of deepLABS. This model is for the download on the design engine online tutorials.
