The CATIA Team is very pleased to introduce you to Victor Jimenez (@Victor Jimenez), who has joined the CATIA Champions Program​​​​​​​ a few weeks ago. Victor started with CATIA V5 in 2007. Mainly in the automotive sector, developing different types of products such as plastic parts, sheet metal, radiators and other components. He always seeks to improve the quality and automation of the models, using methodologies such as skeletons, publications and design tables. In the last years, he has worked a lot on surfaces (specifically on the car tailgate), a process that he managed to improve. One of the challenges was eliminating the use of B-rep’s, the edgefillet is history. In plastic pieces he uses the method of creating both sides of the part ( like the mould tool), this method has also offered great advantages. The use of VBA has allowed him a great advance in reducing time and standardizing tasks.

“In my experience I could see that the clients where I work do not use the full potential of the tool, consequently I always tried to improve my skills and help clients do a better job”.
