The Class-A question !

The Class-A question !

The Class-A question !

(OP)
Hi all,

I'm looking for a Mcad that can do Class-A surface and has a reasonable price.
Is Solid edge a Class-A surfacing modeler ?
I have look at the x-form in NX is this feature included in SE or is BlueDot the same, equivalent ?

Anyone as experience in working with class-A with SE, how was the experience !?

TIA

RE: The Class-A question !

It all depends on what class A means to you. You will just have to try it and see if it can do what you want. It doesn't have the tools that a package like Alias or Imageware does for automotive "Class A".

The cheapest way to get there for most folks is Rhino.  

RE: The Class-A question !

The surfacing in SE is quite limited and tends to slow down when the surface gets complex.
I suspect you will have to look at NX, Catia or Pro/E but they aren't cheap.
Other than that I think its Rhino, as HDS says.
