Advanced and Next-Gen Patterning with SOLIDWORKS & 3DEXPERIENCE 3D Pattern Shape Creator

Patterns are a natural part of many CAD models. However, they can be challenging if you're working with an especially complex pattern. This video explores the available patterning techniques on advanced design parts to help you create the most complex patterns in your CAD models. We explore what is possible in SOLIDWORKS and introduce what can be done in 3DEXPERIENCE Pattern Shape Creator's xGenerative Design app.
In this video we will explore the difference between designing in SOLIDWORKS's parametric solid modeling environment compared to the xGenerative Design app's fully parametric or generative workflow. We will also see how to explore design variants in xGenerative Design to unify our engineering and product design workflows.
This video is part of the Advanced Design in SOLIDWORKS & Beyond series. Click for more articles, videos, and live webinars: www.goengineer.com/discover-s...

Has the feature or tool for joining or welding vertex's or points together been overlooked or have I missed it somewhere? Its a fundamental part of designing objects with the subd workflow only it seems to be completely missing in xshape!
