Subframe Chassis

grabcad

I tried out the structure design feature in CATIA for the first time. To build this model, I started by using GSD to create a 3D sketch of the chassis frame. Then, with structure design, I applied a box section profile and swept it along each line. Next, I used the "trim to surface" tool to trim each section accurately. By using structure design instead of GSD (surface design), if I were to manufacture this chassis in real life, I could easily generate a cutting list since each section is saved as an individual component. Enjoy the model!
