This demo shows how to bend a fuselage of an airplane. CATIA and SolidWorks are shown here. Here're the major steps.

- Export from CATIA to STP
- Import into SolidWorks
- Make the assembly into a part
- Join all the bodies together
- Use the Flex tool to bend
- Export back to STP
- Import into CATIA V5

  • SOS MAN! - coupld you please tell me how to wrap an image around my CAD model.Need it ASAP ! Will be grateful......!

  • search for the video I created entitled:

    Apply transparent image in CATIA V5

    it should put you on the right path.

  • cool...so dude, are you at the UK? and do you work with a DS re-seller?

  • @partha3030150

    I'm based out of Toronto, Canada. I work for a DS training center

  • Thanks I just figured how to do it on sketch tracer...........yeah man manybe you're right...but again, SPACE SHIP ONE is 90% SolidWorks is what I hear

  • @partha3030150

    1-Sketch Tracer would do it but there's a simpler way: I just created this video to show how to do it.

    search for this video title:

    CATIA V5 - How to Transfer 2D elements to Part Sketch. (give a few hours to process)

    2- They may do some parts of Space Ship One in SWX. But Trust me they use CATIA, I did the training for them.

see all

    It's true SWX is simpler to use on most tasks. V5 is a specialty CAD software that does the advanced stuff really well. A case in point: Surfacing. When I work with Auto and Aerospace models, I'll only use CATIA

  • Why are so many things that work as "common sense" so simple on SolidWorks so very difficult to do on CATIA ? (No I have not worked a lot more on SolidWorks than I have in CATIA)

    Will be grateful if somebody answered asap...

  • SolidWorks Kicks ass !

    CATIA is an old lady now...needs to get in shape.

    For the love of God could anybody here PLEASE tell me how to paste curves from a drawing file in CATIA into another Catia Wireframe/part file as a sketch so that I could use the curves...?
