Micro-WIL offered in collaboration with Bell Textron Canada Limited and Polytechnique Montreal

This activity is offered in English.

This micro-WIL allows you to gain experience in 3D modeling with the help of Catia software of a "Live Mount" part of the Bell Textron Canada Model 505 commercial helicopter. The live mount is essential to the structure of the helicopter, it ensures the transmission of loads between the rotor and the cabin. This micro-WIL is divided into three phases.

Phase 1 (10 min):

A video clip designed by a Bell Textron Canada expert presents the different Bell helicopter models as well as their characteristics and roles. The focus is on the Bell 505 commercial model: its characteristics, general specifications, and the main steps in its manufacturing process at Mirabel. You will also get a concrete idea of the location of the part to be modeled, its concrete role and its mechanical functioning in the load transfer system.

Phase 2 (2h - 2h15 min):

An interactive activity that includes three sections:

• an introduction to Catia software;
• the design of the part; and
• modeling the part.

At the end of this phase, you will have a good command of the Catia software, notably the 2D geometry tools and the 3D transformation; you will also be able to design a part by yourself according to its desired functions in the context of the Bell 505 helicopter, taking into consideration the objectives and the various mechanical and aerospace constraints; finally, you will see the step-by-step modelling to master the modelling of the Bell 505's "Live Mount" part

Phase 3 (30 min):

A question and answer session co-hosted by the trainer and the Bell Textron Canada expert to answer to your questions.
