hyperbolic paraboloid

[Dany123]

Hi everybody,

I want to model xenakis' Philips Pavilion in Catia as a modeling exercise but I don't know how to do the hyperbolic paraboloid. Any idea on how to proceed?
Thank you for your help!

Depends on what you have to start with. Do you have sketches or equations? If you have the equations I would use Matlab or something similar to create the geometry and import it into Catia. You could then use this model as is or as a verification of your modeling methods. I hope this helps.
