Catia Tutorial For Beginners

Catia V5 is the premier CAD system of Dassault Systems, and part of an elaborate suite of tools, commonly referred to as PLM.

We chose Catia V5 as our primary CAD system, not only because of the power and versatility, but also due to the increasingly large market share that is being gained by Catia V5. It is our goal to be leaders in the area of offsite CAD design engineering, and we know the direction of our industry is clearly pointing in the direction of Catia V5.

Additionally, It is our opinion that there is no better CAD system for aerospace and automotive applications, than Catia V5. The fact that Catia V5 is setting the trend for industrial CAD applications is a clear testimony to this statement.

In addition to large companies, small businesses and sole proprietors can benefit greatly by contracting us to do Catia V5 design projects. Our competitive rates allow you to take advantage of incredible design capabilities, without the overhead of owning your own seat of Catia V5.

CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application and is one of the most widely known and used software systems in the CAD world that is marketed and technically supported by IBM. The software is very intricate and is used by some of the biggest names in the business world. Currently over 20,000 companies use it worldwide and the distinguished list of names that use the software are top names such as Goodyear, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, Boeing, Porsche, and Lear Jet just to name a few. All these top companies and more take advantage of the powerful applications that the software has to offer in order to help develop and design their products.

If you are planning on getting into such careers as design, manufacturing, or architecture then learning CATIA software will most likely be required of you at some point in time.

Catia Tutorial

Catia is consistently considered to be one of the most popular CAD/CAM software options available. It was designed by Dassault Systems, a French company, to provide users with the perfect platform for design, analysis, and manufacture of new products. It is focused on making collaboration simple and streamline the creation process to make product development faster and easier. The latest version that has been released is CATIA Version 6. However, many companies have chosen to not yet upgrade from version 5 because they simply do not understand what improvements have been made.

What You Need to Know About CATIA v6

1. Upgrading From Version 5. One of the biggest reasons that companies do not considering upgrading their software to the latest version is potential compatibility options. Fortunately, upgrading from version 5 to version 6 is actually a very simple transition. Catia v6 was designed with nearly a 80% portfolio similarity. This was done specifically to make upgrading from version 5 easy and trouble-free.

2. Online Creation and Collaboration. Catia v6 has been optimized in order to enable concurrent work in real time. This is done through a simple internet connection, even from remote locations. This is considered by many to be a huge breakthrough for companies that are currently utilizing a global engineering and manufacturing strategy. It allows for wide scale IP (Intellectual Property) modeling in a collaborative environment with joint scalability throughout the entire creation process.

3. Using a Single PLM Platform. Catia v6 was natively built on a single PLM platform. This allows for support of IP modeling that spans every engineering discipline and collaborative business processes (CBP) which allows for coverage throughout the entire product life-cycle Since the design data, engineering data, and manufacturing data are all stored within the same base it can accessed in a unified way, thus enhancing multi-discipline collaboration

4. Creating a Lifelike Experience. Catia v6 was designed to insert 3D into the heart of every company. Users can now experience the product as if it was already created. This was achieved by providing new shades which creates more realism within the product definition view as well as new working ambiance in regards to the floor, reflections, etc.

Designers will also gain an advantage because Catia v6 is so easy to use that it can quickly be integrated with a variety of daily tasks. Even the most casual users will be able to use the Catia 3DLive interface to find information, experience the product, as well as collaborate with others in a 3D online environment.

5. Creating a Global Collaborative Innovation. Catia 3DLive is a key feature in Catia v6. It creates a 3D portal to allow all actors across the country to access all parts of the product definition. It also has integrated tools specifically to allow online global collaboration as well as instant global collaboration This allows for peer to peer connection with a heads up display style that allows for “drag and drop” ideas, in 3D, between designers. The highly scalable architecture is based upon SOA which allows for simple management of the worldwide product development process.

Catia v6 offers a variety of tools that will allow the entire product process to be streamlined, saving both time and money. Now, designers, engineers, and even the most casual users can interact in a 3D environment, just as if they were in the same room.
