CATIA | How to Create a Stiffener Like a Pro

The Savvy Engineer
in Modeling
3 0 Beginner
Learning how to create a stiffener in CATIA is an essential skill for designers and engineers who work with structural, mechanical, or aerospace components. A stiffener is a reinforcing feature added to a part to increase strength and rigidity without significantly increasing weight. Because CATIA is widely used in industries where performance and efficiency matter, understanding how to model stiffeners correctly can greatly improve both design quality and professional competence.

CATIA | How to Create Many Pockets in the Same Sketch

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.

CATIA Sew Surfaces | How to Combine a Surface with a Solid Body

The Savvy Engineer
in Modeling
1 0 Beginner
Learning how to use the Sew Surfaces command in CATIA is an essential skill for designers and engineers who work with surface modeling and advanced part creation. In many real-world projects, complex shapes are created as multiple individual surfaces rather than a single solid feature. The Sew Surfaces command allows these separate surfaces to be joined together accurately, forming a unified surface or a closed solid that can be used in downstream design and manufacturing processes.
