What are the common automobile modeling design softwares?
There are many kinds of automobile design software, which are mainly divided into three categories: automobile shape design software, automobile engineering design software and automobile CAE software.
1, automobile modeling design software
Automobile modeling design software commonly used in automobile industry includes: AutodeskAliasAutomotive software, photoshop image processing software and SketchBook natural drawing software. That is, the renderings of automobile interior or exterior design, the creative design of automobiles, and the software used in the creative stage of automobiles. Different car designers will have their own strengths, but they can basically use them and know them.
(1), Introduction of AutodeskAliasAutomotive Software:
Alias has the function of three-dimensional modeling, but it can also be used in the sketch (creative sketch) stage. If you have a hand-drawn board, I suggest using alias/sketchbook in the sketch stage. The lines are smoother, and the greasy model stage pays more attention to the operation ability and drawing reading ability of the machine. As a part of Autodesk's digital prototype manufacturing solution, AutodeskAliasAutomotive software is the industry-leading software for automobile design and modeling, and has been adopted by the world-leading automobile design studios. The software provides a complete set of visualization and analysis tools for the whole modeling and definition process (from conceptual sketch to A-level surface). Iterate, optimize and evaluate design concepts quickly. AutodeskAliasAutomotive provides more tools such as surface modeling, dynamic shape modeling, rapid prototyping and so on to help you complete the design of consumer goods freely.
(Introduction of photoshop image processing software
Photoshop image processing software is mostly used for fine two-dimensional renderings. Introduction of SketchBook natural drawing software. Sketchbook is a relatively new creative drawing with simple function and simple interface, which is often used in sketch stage abroad.
(3) The software used in the digital model stage is mostly AutodeskAliasAutomotive software, UG software and catia software.
Among them, in the external modeling stage, AutodeskAliasAutomotive software is used to make surface A, but UG software and catia software must also be able to do it. Because the software used in engineering design is UG software and catia software, there are communication problems, so you must be able to operate. Want to engage in automotive engineering design, the main software is UG software and catia software, but also use CAD to make two-dimensional drawings.
2. Automotive engineering software
CATIA software is commonly used in engineering structures. CATIA software is used in the design fields of airplanes, automobiles, ships and so on because of its powerful surface design function. The surface modeling function of CATIA is that it provides rich modeling tools to support the modeling needs of users. Catia software is commonly used in automobile engineering design.
3. Automotive CAE software
Mainly include: Hyperworks, I-DEAS, Pro/ENGINEERMechanica integrated CAE software, and Pro/ENGINEER contains complete CAD/CAM functions; Ansys, a classic CAE, is widely used in China and has the highest customer maturity, especially in the field of scientific research in colleges and universities. Fluent was acquired in 2006 and Ansoft was acquired in 2008. Fluent is the most widely used fluid analysis software, and AN-SOFT is the most widely used LS-DYNA, a powerful dynamic problem solver, a special automobile analysis module and electromagnetic analysis software. In the process of acquisition and integration, the coupling of multiple physical fields has become a major feature of Ansys.
Nastran, linear problem solver; Special collision research software PamcrashMoldflow, die flow analysis software, AutoForm, sheet metal stamping, especially drawing analysis software; Madymo, automotive safety systems, such as airbags and seat belts, automotive crash performance analysis software.
What should I learn in automobile modeling design?
First of all, I am going to be an indoor and outdoor designer.
First of all, you should start with hand-drawing and express your modeling ideas with sketches and renderings.
Secondly, we should learn aliases. Use alias to check the three-dimensional posture of a shape from a three-dimensional perspective. Similarly, after reaching a certain level, we should contact the sludge model of production 1: 4. This is very important, but it needs the support of funds and venues. Maybe you don't have to learn at first.
Generally speaking, beautiful and unique renderings and hand-drawn sketches, and clear expression of modeling concepts are the basic abilities necessary for the recruitment of automobile interior and exterior stylists.
Second, I am going to be an automobile digital designer.
Automobile digital designers provide professional 3D digital models for automobile modeling, including the forward digital model in the conceptual design period and the reverse A-plane after modeling freezing (the latter is no longer in the category of designers in many companies).
You should study alias or icemsrf software deeply. This paper studies how to use this high-end NURBS software to accurately express the three-dimensional characteristics of a modeling entity. Secondly, you can learn sketches, renderings and even a little sludge model making. Because you may not need super hand-drawn expression ability, but you need good ability to read and look at pictures, and the ability to convert from two-dimensional renderings to three-dimensional forms.
Thirdly, sludge modeler.
As the name implies, it is understandable, but there are few schools in China that train such professionals. There are fewer relevant talents and fewer experts.
Fourth, cross-border car designers.
1, strategy and market analysis, pay attention to your graphic design ability and summary and expression ability, English is also very important.
2, color and color. Lace designer, pay attention to graphic design, vector design, material and fabric design and other related knowledge. And other normal industrial design related courses.
3. Automobile CG designer: In recent years, a new industry in automobile industrial design started with modeling software such as alias and ICEMSRF and rendering and animation software such as maya or 3dsmax. Then, in the second step, if the hardware conditions are sufficient, you should learn some "rare" virtual reality software such as aliasshowcase or even RTT.
