Cloud data preparation Phase 1

30 min

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES

In this exercise you will: Import a cloud of points and prepare it for the following design work. This preparation consists in reducing the number of points in a way that preserves the quality of the shape description

Cloud to Surface

Surface based approach Phase 2

2 hours

In this exercise you will: See how to create surfaces from a cloud of points in a surface based approach.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Characteristics of the surface based approach: Intuitive creation of surfaces Full control of shape via control points Real time feed back thanks to analysis tools Efficient for quick surface creation (no strict accuracy expected) Drawbacks: Some practice of control point manipulation required Time and skills required grow very fast with expected quality No associativity to support design changes

Cloud to Surface

Curve based approach Phase 3

2 hours

In this exercise you will: See how to create surfaces from a cloud of points in a curve based approach.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Characteristics of the curve based approach: Strict control of shape via their input curves Feature approach (associativity between surfaces and curves) Efficient for quality surface creation (strict accuracy expected) The quality of surfaces relies on the quality of input curves Drawbacks: Abstract approach, with some geometric knowledge required Less efficient for quick design because of time needed for curve creation

Cloud to Surface

QSR Network approach Phase 4

2 hours

In this exercise you will: See how to create surfaces from a cloud of points using Quick Surface Reconstruction (QSR).

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Characteristics of QSR: Creation of surfaces by Powerfit or canonic shape recognition Efficient for quality surface creation (if no strict accuracy expected) The quality of surfaces relies on the quality of input curves Drawbacks: Not efficient for high quality design such as class A design

Cloud to Surface

QSR Automatic approach Phase 5

2 hours

In this exercise you will: See how to create surfaces from a cloud of points using The Automatic Surface command of QSR.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES

Characteristics of Automatic Surface: Very rapid surface creation Possibility to control accuracy Easy to use because of few parameters to control Very efficient for rough surface creation or to quickly replace a cloud by a smooth surface Drawbacks: Mesh needs to be manifold and seamless No control on the face structure of the resulting surface
