Course Duration: 16 hours (2 days)
Tuition: $1,000 USD
Overview: Lean to manage import geometry from various 3D software packages such as Alias, Rhino, and/or SolidWorks. IDD (Import Data Doctor) can be offered for Wildfire 4.0 – 5.0.
Note: Import Data Doctor is day one. For the second day we teach many basics of surfacing that may be required to manage other import geometry. We do not schedule this class so you must call Design Engine to schedule: 312.226.8339.
Prerequisite: None
Topics:
- Basic work flow, scope, and purpose of IDD
- New workflow for Zip Gaps
- Learn to delete and rebuild Boundary Blends inside IDD
- Activate vs deactivate
- Merge workflow changed inside IDD and how to do so
- Dealing with more simple imports and task based repair of IGES or STEP geometry using IDD
- Complex imports
- Coincident surfaces
- Define Gaps, Repair Gaps, and Closing gaps
- Gaps/Slivers and how to manage them
- Tangency inside IDD
- Modify, Extrapolate, Align, Transform, and Replace
- Move Vetex
- Freezing entities vs managing what changes during manipulations
- Learn to manage sheet metal imports, Convert, Combine, and Extrude (convert nonparametric data to parametric features)
Discussion:
- Discuss various types of data for import such as Points, Facet Data, DXF, Step and IGES
- User Interface differences in Creo vs pre Wildfire 4.0
- Converting surfaces to cylinders and extrusions (Pseudo-Feature)
- Dispaly options for Frozen, Wireframe, Vertices ,and Tangentcy Constraints
- Basic workflow for generic repair vs more difficult repairs
- Tips and Tricks
Tutorials:
- Manage basic import and rebuild using tools outside of DataDoctor
- Basic import and rebuild using tools inside DataDoctor
