SUMMARY
The discussion revolves around the challenge of obtaining detailed drawings of aircraft landing gear for optimization purposes in Catia. Participants highlight that such drawings are typically proprietary and not publicly accessible. Instead, they recommend sourcing images of landing gear with known reference objects to facilitate reverse engineering of the design. This approach allows for the creation of a model in Catia without direct access to official schematics.
