What is Internal Structure, Core5:33
All cores in the design, interior structures and more. Interior Structure & Core
What is Analysis Data5:48
Analysis Data, which accelerates the analysis processes in itself, generates different variations from the basic model design and enables alternatives to be run at the same time.
What is a Raw Part6:10

Some rules, considerations, suggestions that I would like you to pay attention to in parametric design.
CATIA Settings for Parametric Design2:47
Settings that must be made in CATIA before starting parametric design. Please do not forget to make these settings before modelling.

Defining the Design Problem14:50
We determine the design problem through a real case study. Please do not forget to download the data I shared in the sources. If you have problems downloading from Grabcad, you can contact me for data.
Let's Start with Skeleton Structure, S128:53
We prepare the Skeleton data, which forms the most important basis of the design and contains all the information.
Skeleton Structure, S229:29
Skeleton Structure, S321:40
Skeleton Structure, S424:58
Skeleton Structure, S524:33
Skeleton Structure, S614:43
We continue with Basic Structure, S120:39
The first place where we create 3D models in parametric design, here we create the initial volumes leading to the design, without any other details.
Basic Structure, S224:40
Basic Structure, S320:14
The last stage in Basic Elements. After revealing the basic geometries, we will determine the limits and rules of the production technique and the changes we will make in the design.
Basic Structure; Manufacturing, S422:02
Basic Structure; Manufacturing, S522:00
Outer Structure is revealing, S129:24
The part where the design is most similar to the real product, where we reveal the external elements. Step by step we begin to reveal the design. Outer Structure
Outer Structure, S226:53
Outer Structure, S315:53
Outer Structure, S4 - Revisions24:13
Inner Structure, Core15:39
The part of the design where the discharges, flow volumes and cores are created. Internal Structure & Core
This is Raw Part11:01
The last step before machining or the next manufacturing operation. Step by step we approach the final part.
Analysis Data21:25
Analysis Data, where various alternatives are prepared to examine the structural and vibration behaviour of the design much earlier with analysis data without going to the final design, will allow you to reach the finished product much faster.
Machining Structure, S120:59
We carry out all machining operations here. Machining Data
Machining Structure, S225:14
At last, Final Data !18:19
We are revealing the finished design, we have come to the end in the design. Final Data
Let's run Design Tree, some Revisions came to design. S117:20
One of the most powerful areas of parametric design is revisions. I'll shift the alternator a bit, see how fast we can do it.
Revisions, S218:48

Engine Oil Pan Design - Level: Advanced7:04
Hi! I'm sharing the first advanced example of our course for you. It's a very realistic and useful application that you can work on and test your knowledge with. You need to be able to open the data without problems using CATIA V5 R21. For those who can't, I've also included the STP and ALLCadpart files so you can see the contents of the data. If you have any questions, you can contact me via the messages section or email. I hope it will be useful, and I wish you success.

Requirements

Knowledge of 3D modelling with CATIA is required.
I recommend that you know how to use the CATIA programme, even at a basic level.

Description

You will take our CATIA knowledge and experience one level further! A training where you will make a difference with your modelling ability is waiting for you.

Make a Difference in Aviation, Defence and Automotive Sector with CATIA Parametric Design Training!

In this training specially designed for engineers who want to improve their modelling skills and accelerate their career, you will learn all the subtleties of parametric design. Learn to make faster, more reliable and more creative designs using the most up-to-date methods of the industry. With parametric design modelling, one of the most valid modelling methods in Aerospace, Defence Industry and Automotive;

If you are a newly graduated engineer; you will add another important skill to your CV and you will make a difference in job applications in the sectors I mentioned.

We will learn the importance and advantages of the Parametric Design technique from the theory and develop your modelling technique together by learning step by step from scratch in the application section.

If you are making designs with traditional modelling technique in your company, you will both improve the technical capabilities of the company and achieve serious savings with the advantages of parametric design and especially the savings it provides in development processes. You will multiply your speed in all revision and new product development processes.

With the advantages of parametric design in production, you will minimise design-related problems in production.

Parametric design is not only a modelling technique, but also a powerful tool that transforms your design processes. Thanks to this technology, you can make your designs faster and more flexible, minimise errors and reduce your production costs. Parametric design will allow you to make a big leap in both your career and your company. While strengthening your CV as a newly graduated engineer , you will increase the competitiveness of your company as an experienced engineer.

You will make a difference in both career and sectoral sense thanks to many more advantages as I mentioned above and shared below.

The main advantages of 3D modelling with Parametric Design can be found below:

Fully consistent top-down design, (Top-Down Design)
Simultaneous design of sub-assemblies while creating the main structure,
Critical dimensions for the master part are changed quickly and the affected parts update themselves accordingly,
Quickly transferring the necessary changes to the design so that the existing design can be used in other applications,
Quickly transferring the feedback from the analyses to the design,
Ease of creating a separate analysis data,
Ensuring full control over the model, (Geometric and Engineering Constraints)
Changes made in the design are automatically updated,
Easier to see and understand how the model will react after a change,
Easy definition and automatic creation of part families,
Perfect integration with production processes, significant reduction in production time,
To be able to create a user interface suitable for software integration,
Ability to prepare designs suitable for different manufacturing methods with the same information data.
