The Creo Parametric 8.0: Surface Design guide focuses on the creation of complex geometry that cannot be created easily using solid features. It provides users with a basic understanding of surface modeling styles and extensive practices to practice the new functionality used to create complex geometry.

Topics Covered

Surface Basics

Reference Geometry

Splines and Conics

Creating Simple Surfaces

Surface Operations

Creating Surfaces from Boundaries

Analysis Tools

Advanced Surfaces (Curvature Continuous Surfaces, Blend Tangent to Surfaces, Ribbon Surfaces)

Advanced Swept Surfaces

Offset Surfaces

Introduction to Data Exchange (Import Data Doctor)

Prerequisites

Access to the Creo Parametric 8.0 software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions. Practice files included with this guide are compatible with the commercial version of the software, but not the student edition.

Completion of Creo Parametric 8.0: Introduction to Solid Modeling and Creo Parametric 8.0: Advanced Part Design or equivalent Creo Parametric experience is recommended.
