Creo ISDX Freeform Surfacing
Further enhance your surfacing knowledge with Style Interactive Surface Design. Construct and manipulate spline curves and surfaces with many options for controlling quality and shape. Style curves can be controlled with positional dimensions or be freeform. Style surfaces can be readily used and combined with regular parametric curves and surfaces.
Description
Creo Parametric provides a variety of surface modelling tools. There are three main categories available: Parametric surfacing, Style surfacing and Freestyle surfacing. Here, Style ISDX functionality is explored and explained, further supplementing regular parametric surfacing. Style surfaces can be constructed from any combination of Style curves or regular curves. Style curves are based on adaptive freeform splines whose endpoints and internal points can be controlled and manipulated in a variety of ways to ensure the required shape and continuity. There are several broad categories of Style surface types, derived from a single Style Surface tool. Surfaces can be directly edited and subtly manipulated to control both shape and curvature based on understanding and controlling curve degree, knots and surface meshes. Many analysis tools are also available for checking and improving surface quality.
In order to access ISDX functionality an ISDX license is a prerequisite. This will enable the ISDX Style capability and functionality covered in this course.
Freestyle surfacing is not covered in this course.
