Define a volume body from point coordinates
Define a volume body from point coordinates
(OP)
Hi everybody!
this is my first post, and I must admit I'm a little desperated after having tried different strategies to get it. The point is that I want to obtain the volume of the nose of a train, as you can recognize from the picture. The information I have are the coordinates of all these points, placed on the boundaries and some of them on the surface. Let's say that I have, somehow, the frame, and what I want is the shell.
Then my question is if it is possible to do it via Catia or any other CAD software...or if it isnt what should I do.
Any advice or help is welcome, so please, I hope anybody can give me a hand.
Thanks in advance,
L3munoz.

I've created an engine nacelle for an aircraft using multi-sections surface, blend, fill, almost all operations in GSD.
There is a pps here http://www.geci.ro/ (you can download it if you push button ANCS, slide 9), you can see a gif in this slide with this nacelle.

I managed to get the geometry. The problem is that now I have to do it 100 times, since we have different geometries of trains. I already found a file in Excel which let you create the points and curves, but I guess I should do it manually one by one. THen the solution is obviously running CATIA in batch mode. I saw you have some experience running in batch. Should it be easy?
by the way, are you spanish?? maybe it is easier to talk in spanish somehow...

Sorry for delay, I have a lot of things to do after the holiday (by the way, I just came from Spain, but no, I'm not Spanish, I'm Romanian, I just can understand Spanish easily, anyway, this is an English language forum).
Depend on what you want to do in batch mode, jobs can run smooth or you can have different surprises...
There is a very interesting article in Mike Berry's blog ( http
If I remember correctly, you can find also something about batch scripts also in my CATIA Portable Script Center.
