Reverse Engineering

i would suggest you CATIA and Geomagic DesignX

NX can do anything CATIA can, and in most cases, will produce less complex surfaces.

Most of these 'rules' apply across systems, though "CV alignment" is somewhat unique to Alias.

Mesh surface complexity: NX vs CATIA

I am retired engineer. I am trying to reverse engineer a Dragon Class sloop in Fusion 360, as a learning exercise. I am attempting to do this with surface modelling methods and having limited success (Fusion 360 crashes a lot!) and is unreliable.

Most of the examples available in the Fusion 360 training and YouTube examples design something free-hand, and generally without purpose. Reverse engineering a boat design requires it to be exact, not an approximation. A yacht's hull and deck are compound curved surfaces in free space; nothing is orthogonal and most CAD programs start with orthogonal sketches. I am finding this very difficult in Fusion 360 and am looking for a mentor that is familiar with traditional yacht design (from offset tables) and Fusion 360 as a design tool.

Thank you.

I can help with catia v5

if you want to

hello, I have over 7 years experience in the field so I have fully skilled several CAD and CAM software and that is my opinion there is no such a thing that nx can do it but catia cannot nor solidworks any cad software can do anything you design. just some of the features can be different for software but the basics are almost all similar. furthermore, the surfacing is an expert level in all software so when you reach that level in any cad software you must be able to make or changes on any surface as you desire you can see my reverse engineering tutorial that is crafted in solidworks and allmost entire data surfaced

둘다 사용해 봤는데 catia가 더 적합한거 같아
