CATIA V5 - Imagine & Shape - Revolute
CATIA V5 - Imagine & Shape - Revolute is a tool that allows you to create and manipulate revolutionary shapes. A revolutionary shape is a shape that is created by rotating a 2D profile around an axis. This tool is particularly useful for creating complex and organic shapes, such as those found in nature or in industrial design.

Step 1: Overview of the revolute functionality
To use the Revolute tool, you first need to create a 2D profile of the shape that you want to create. This can be done using any of the other tools in the Imagine & Shape workbench, such as the Sketch tool or the Freeform tool. Once you have created the profile, you need to select the Revolute tool and then select the axis around which you want to rotate the profile.
You can also specify the angle of rotation, the number of steps in the revolution, and the direction of the revolution. Once you have specified all of the parameters, you can click on the Create button to create the revolutionary shape.
The Revolute tool is a powerful tool that can be used to create a wide variety of shapes. It is particularly useful for creating complex and organic shapes, such as those found in nature or in industrial design.
I have attached a video with all the elements associated with Revolute being discussed and shown.
