This course will enable students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. Students will be provided a processed-based approach to creating sheet metal models. Each step in the process is discussed in depth with the use of lectures and many hands-on exercises. This course focuses on the New Sheet Metal Design workbench, which was added in Release 11 of CATIA.
