Publisher's Synopsis
The CATIA V5-6R2017: Sheet Metal Design learning guide enables students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. Students are provided with a process-based approach to creating sheet metal models. Each step in the process is discussed in depth using lectures and several hands-on practices. This learning guide focuses on the Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench.
