Duration
3 days
Overview
This course will teach you how to create curves and surfaces using the GSD workbench. You will learn how to analyse the wireframe and surface quality and rectify defects, if any. You will learn to work in a multimodel environment with published surfaces. It will then capitalize on this knowledge and teach you advanced surface creation tools, quality checking and correction techniques, and surface creation in a multi-model environment. This course covers only those Generative Shape Design tools that are specific to the HD2 license .
