to be on a Design Team and received a cash prize:
Team

Was
the contest hard? Well...check out what the "Wacky

You should have seen the look on the Design Teams's faces...but they met the

April
4, 2000
Total
Attendance was 78. The Technical Meeting was FREE to CAUG members, $10.00 per
non-CAUG Members.

 |
| Shashi Ramakrishna of Unigraphics Solutions TSS provided a technical
demonstration of various methods to employ Freeform Modeling Techniques
using UG v16. Notable in his presentation was his ability to try to
use more than one technique to tackle a difficult problem, and to show
the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used. |
 |
| Bobby Bishop of Prototech Engineering gave a "real-world" presentation
of how to use UG to fix data that comes into UG after a Data Translation.
His presentation got the audience discussing issues and asking questions
about how other UG users were working with imported data or how to best
export data to other systems. |
 |
| John
Manderfield handed out "Best Practice" guides documenting how UG can
better interact with other CAD data.
