This new curved pipe tutorial isn’t difficult, but it’s a good way to refresh a bit your memory about some of the functions of the open-source parametric CAD modeler Salome Shaper
How to create a 3D CAD model?
OK, you may came here because you had an idea for a new kind of product and you want to understand how to transform your idea into a 3D model on computer… You came to the right place 😉 I’ll tell you here some of the most important things to know when you start… … […]
Salome Shaper Tutorial 1 : Modeling a Parametric Nut
In this video tutorial, I will show you how to create this kind of part with Salome shaper: This is the first video tutorial about Salome Shaper which is a new module of Salome which appeared in Salome 9.3. If you’re wondering how I installed Salome with Shaper, here is the link: https://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/current-version (Download the […]
The FEA analysis Myth among CAD users
I was myself doing a lot of CAD design before and I never thought that FEA Analysis was a big deal. This is what I thought: Take a CAD model, apply material, loads, boundary conditions, contacts, mesh it and then watch the results… it is like a black box. At least it is what I […]
FEA basics – CAD model simplification for FEA analysis
Today’s subject: CAD model simplification for FEA analysis. Why do you need to simplify your model? How can I do that? The most simple workflow for FEA analysis is: 1. Import CAD model 2. Mesh the model 3. Assign boundary and loads 4. Perform analysis Unfortunately, all may not go as smoothly as we want… […]
The difference between CAD and CAE
This is a very basic subject that I would like to talk about, but it is fundamental to understand well that there is a world between this two words. I can always remember that when I had my first Computer Assisted Design (CAD) course in my engineering college in France (the Ecole Centrale of Lille), […]
