3D modeling
I have had the opportunity, on several occasions in my professional and academic career, to do 3D modeling using different software.
I learned to use FreeCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and finally 3D Experience.
At the Naval Group Cherbourg school of layout and functional design (l’école de l’emménagement et du fonctionnel), I completed a 3D Experience training; it is now my software of choice. I truly learned how to create a proper assembly tree (arborescence) and organize my objects correctly, which is essential on large projects.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the various tools I have learned to use:
Creating sketches, planes, points.
Tapping / threading tools, extrusion, pocket, revolution, hole, rib, groove, rectangular/circular repetitions (patterns), symmetry, edge fillet, chamfer.
Curve and surface modeling
Creation of drawings (plans)
Creation of assemblies
