I love documentation like this. No need to be formal when a simple analogy works too

Fizz ,

Boss, I need this play doh extrusion set for reference

sbo ,

OpenSCAD, eh?

aidan OP ,

Yep

Tolookah ,

While I love openscad, this fits all too well for their docs.

Rodeo ,

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.

aidan OP ,

Catia

I’ve been slightly involved in the CAD space, have tried Fusion, Inventor, AutoCAD, OpenSCAD, and Blender- even edited some G-Code by hand. But, I have never once heard of that.

SpeakinTelnet ,

It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.

It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.

Rodeo ,

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

SpeakinTelnet ,

Siemens makes NX. Catia is made by Dassaults. They compete for the same space in the market

Rodeo ,

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.
