I'm learning CATIA V5 after years using Pro/E. As a test for myself, I'm trying to re-create one of my toughest Pro/E designs in CATIA.
In Pro/E there is a feature called "swept blend" which is a blend (with as many intermediate sections as you need) swept along a center curve. The analog of this in CATIA seems to be the "Multi-sections Surface". There is only one problem. The surface I am creating is a duct and needs a specific relationship between cross-sectional area and position along the length of the duct. In Pro/E the swept blend feature can have an "area graph" associated with it which accomplishes this nicely. In CATIA I can find no such option.
Everybody says CATIA is better than Pro for surfacing... somebody please prove it and help me out here!
