3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software is a computer program used by professionals like engineers and architects to create detailed 3D models of objects or products. It enables users to digitally design, visualize, and simulate components or assemblies before physical production. This enhances the design process by enabling faster iteration, accurate prototyping, and better communication among team members, ultimately facilitating innovation and efficiency in product development across various industries.
From reading online I think I do understand that blender does not use what cad program calls solids.
I think I also understand why, nobody with blender is interested in stress calculations, so solids are overkill for a program like blender.
This means for me I will have think more like I did in dedit, and let go for some part my way of cad thinking.
( which is mostly about makeability, machining and in Catia even stress calculation. )
Most uses for polygon models are about something visual. The models are made for still images, animation, games, 3D printing, or other. The only time one cares about absolute precision is when the model is turned into a real object such as with 3D printing, and even then the tolerances are ridiculous compared to high precision machining from CAD side of things. The model structures for those targets can be very different, they can be different within those general cases, and is very important so the model works for the intended end use.
Polygonal modeling is approximation of curves and curved surfaces. Curves are described with straight edges, and curved surfaces with polygons. There goes the precision. But also the refinement algorithms that are used to get visually more precise model also use approximation schemes, so absolute precision is thrown out the window again just to make sure it was properly defenestrated.
Hi! We are working on modified version of blender customized for mechanical and architects users. We starting developing better snap tools and we continued developing on mesh dimensions, geometry, must have tools, ucs, and much more. Some videos...
Its a bit scary, I am used to selecting a function, and then the cad program wants me to type a value.
Opening blender and messing a bit around feels beyond weird for me, there is much more freedom.
I have a friend who is a mechanical engineer like me, but he also used to make technical 3D (perspective) illustrations by hand.
I remember him explaining, that you needed to draw things sometimes a bit to big, because that looked better, instead of doing to a precise scale.
Even so, another way is to use a vector graphics program to draw the profiles and import them in Blender, or just use curves in Blender to make them

That gives the advantage of having a separate control over the resolution along and around with a slider, and put that extra resolution on the curved bits where it matters.

I'm working in a small business with sheets metal molds and our partners share with us files through CATIA. So, we are looking for a software which is able to open and then allows us to edit something. Is AutoCAD a solution? Or do you know some other programs that will help us?
The CATIA (Cpmg, Anti-trosy, and Trosy Intelligent Analysis) program is designed to analyze CPMG relaxation dispersion data and extract chemical exchange parameters of a two-site chemically exchanging system (A = B). Experimental relaxation dispersion curves in the form of effective transverse relaxation rates v.s. CPMG pulsing frequency are used as input for the program along with other user-defined input, such as frequency offset from the RF carrier and scalar J-coupling constants, etc.
The overall idea of the program is that the evolution matrix of the spin-system is integrated over the pulse sequence and the best-fit parameters (for example differences in chemical shift between the two exchanging sites; DeltaO) are determined by a least-squares minimization. Normally, evolution during pulses, phase cycles, longitudinal relaxation, simple cross-correlations, etc. are taken into account. Depending on the particular problem, a range of different basis sets of the spin-system and pulse-sequences can be used. For example, while analyzing a relaxation dispersion obtained by the in-phase sequence (DF Hansen, P Vallurupalli & LE Kay; 2008; J. phys. Chem B) one would normally chose a simple basis consisting of 7 elements (E, Ix,Iy,Iz_A,Ix,Iy,Iz_B), while analyzing more challenging problems such as Trosy/AntiTrosy data one would chose a more elaborate basis that also includes the distinction between Trosy and AntiTrosy.
A manual of the program is not available yet, however, it is my hope that the examples provided in the package along with the built-in "help" command of the program will allow people to use the program. In the nearest future a (at least simple) manual will be available. Also, the FAQ of this homepage will contain the most frequently asked questions. Contact Information

The CATIA-to-VERICUT Interfaces tightly integrate the two programs to help you create the most accurate and efficient NC programs possible! It makes verifying and optimizing NC programs and simulating CNC machines a much easier and more efficient process. You can verify individual operations, a series of operations, or a set of complete NC programs. All stock, fixture, and design geometry is automatically transferred to VERICUT in the correct orientation, along with NC program, tooling, machine and control data and other simulation parameters.
VERICUT runs independently of the CATIA process, so you can continue working in CATIA while simulating and optimizing your NC programs. With VERICUT as your simulation package, you can also verify and optimize NC programs from other CAM systems in CL or post-processed G-code format.
I have been professionally using SolidWorks for 8+ years. In both aerospace and product design. I am now getting into the automotive and aerospace environments that use CATIA. I am amazed at how clumsy, old fashioned, and inefficient the CATIA user interface is.
I just finished an advanced surface modeling course with a professor who has been teaching for 10+ years. Watching him stumble through rotating models, getting unknown errors, and many steps are necessary to create geometry is cringy.
The mouse gestures in SolidWorks, clear workflow, amazing spec tree, clear organization of feature folders, quick mating options in assembly mode, easy drawing editing abilities, rapid dimensioning features, effective part rotating, etc are amazing.
