Education
Academy of Dis-Education
What They Taught You, What They Should Have Taught You

January 1996 - present
Example - why they never taught stylist that engineers work in a tolerance of "0.001mm" and not in "0.01mm" and that if they send style surfaces to us for engineering in their tolerance we have to spend days correcting their overlapping, non tangent, and non connected surfaces.before we can give them a thickness and begin working with them.

Example ... they say, ""We need you to do some structural analysis next week." and I say, "No problem" ... then I spend the entire weekend trying to figure out how the structural analysis package works in Catia!
