CATIA Training Programme

CATIA

CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) (in English usually pronounced is a multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by the French company Dassault Systems. Written the C++programming language, CATIA is the cornerstone of the Dassault Systems product lifecycle management software suite.CATIA competes in the high-end CAD/CAM/CAE market with Creo Elements/Pro and NX (Unigraphics).

THE CURRICULUM

Commonly referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite, CATIA supports multiple stages of product development (CAx), including conceptualization, design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE). CATIA facilitates collaborative engineering across disciplines, including surfacing & shape design, mechanical engineering, and equipment and systems engineering.CATIA provides a suite of surfacing, reverse engineering, and visualization solutions to create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes, from subdivision, styling, and Class A surfaces to mechanical functional surfaces.

CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites, molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. It provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well as kinematics definition.

CATIA facilitates the design of electronic, electrical, and distributed systems such as fluid and HVAC systems, all the way to the production of documentation for manufacturing.
