Re: use of Lcatra software with Solidworks |

Their software info says there is a Catia importer available...
as another idea perhaps you should talk to some sail lofts about what they
use - possibly there is another format available with other software.
I take it this is maybe a toy 'melon' or something and not a rigid
inflatable...
We have a company locally that makes welded PVC inflatable slides,and items
for exhibitions, fairgrounds, sports events and the like maybe there is
someone like that near you can talk to.
Sometimes I have helped them out with patterns cunningly made using SW
sheetmetal to unroll surfaces and they used their practical experience of
fabric stretch and seams to modify that on the cutting floor and in some
cases a complete prototype was made to check appearances. Probably for
something like this they would put circles at the end - to avoid seams being
all together - and cut long segments just like a beach ball.
maybe this helps..possibly not :o) |
