Overview of CATIA V5
2

• CATIA
• One of the leading design tools
• used by professionals working in the field of
  mechanical engineering

3
What CATIA V5 do?

• CATIA V5 is an integrated Computer Aided
  Engineering tool that
• Incorporates CAD, CAM, CAE, and other
  applications
• Is a native Windows application
• Is based on Graphical User Interface
• Is based on Variation / Parametric technology
• Encourages design flexibility and reuse
• Supports knowledge based design

4
CATIA V5 Philosophy

• Flexible modeling environment
• Ability to easily modify models and implement
  design changes
• Support for data sharing and data reuse
• Knowledge enabled
• Capturing design constraints and design intent as
  well as final model geometry
• Managing information of non-geometric as well as
  geometric design
• 3D Part is the master model
• Drawings, Assemblies and Analyses are associative
  to the 3D parts. If the part design changes the
  downstream models change too.
