CATIA | How to Create Many Pockets in the Same Sketch
The Savvy Engineer
in
Modeling
1
0
Beginner
Learning how to create many pockets from the same sketch in CATIA is an important skill for designers who want to work efficiently and build clean, professional models. While beginners often create a separate sketch for every pocket, experienced CATIA users know that using a single, well-planned sketch can save time, reduce errors, and improve design quality. Mastering this technique helps you model smarter, not harder.

This was inspired by a question posted in my latest video the "Black Belt in Alibre: ไบๆฎต": https://youtu.be/nTS7fNJiP4c In it Generic0000-v1z discussed how we could make a Variable Pattern Fan Grill. I though this is an excellent example for a video showing this exact workflow! So here it is! Enjoy!!!

Schwarz P (Primitive) TPMS Modeling in SolidWorks - A Beginner-Friendly Approach

Beginner
This tutorial presents a simple and fully SolidWorks-based method for modeling the Schwarz P (Primitive) Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS). The main goal of this tutorial is to demystify the complexity usually associated with TPMS modeling. Instead of relying on advanced mathematics, scripting, or external software, this approach uses only standard SolidWorks features and a logical, step-by-step workflow that even beginners can follow with ease. By the end of this tutorial, users will be able to: Understand the geometric logic behind the Schwarz P surface Model a periodic unit cell using basic sketches and features Generate a clean, watertight solid suitable for simulation or manufacturing Replicate the unit cell to create lattice structures for engineering applications This tutorial is especially useful for: Students and beginners learning advanced geometry in CAD Researchers working on TPMS-based materials and metamaterials Engineers and designers interested in lightweight structures, porous media, and energy-absorbing lattices No prior experience with TPMS, equations, or parametric scripting is required. If you can use basic SolidWorks tools, you can model the Schwarz P surface.
