Geometric Sets vs Part Bodies

Ronyraj,

Here are some quick definitions. You're professor should explain these in more detail, or you can look this up in the Help files and/or the CATIA Companion.

Geometric Sets are a section of the CATPart file that contains the construction geometry, (wireframe (points/lines/curves) and/or surface elements). Geometric Sets can be "ordered" or not - Ordered Geometric Sets require the elements be in sequential order.

Part Bodies contain the solid definition of a CATPart file.

Hybrid Design is a mode that can be toggled on or off. When the Hybrid Design mode is envoked, construction geometry can belong directly to a PartBody. (most companies do not use Hybrid Design, because it is a new feature that was recently added to CATIA)

Surface classes

the following links contain some pretty good information on Class A surfacing:

CATIA products - Hi Guys I have some information

CATIA products - What are Class A Surfaces ?

and here is another good link that 3DCADSearch found:

Automotive body engineering - Modelling Auto parts
