Synopsis "Catia V5-6R2017: Introduction for Experienced 3d cad Users (in English)"
The CATIA V5-6R2017: Introduction for Experienced 3D CAD Users learning guide is intended to provide accelerated introductory training in CATIA V5-6R2017 software. This learning guide is designed for users who have 3D modeling design experience with other 3D CAD software packages (e.g., Creo Parametric™, Inventor™, NX™, SolidWorks®, etc.).By leveraging the experience users gain in working with other 3D modeling software packages, this hands-on, practice-intensive guide is developed so that users who are new to CATIA can benefit from a shorter, introductory-level, learning guide. You are taught how to find and use the modeling tools associated with familiar modeling strategies that are used in other 3D CAD software. You will acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the process of creating models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.This guide was developed against CATIA V5-6R2017, Service Pack 1.Topics CoveredCustomization of CATIA V5 EnvironmentCreating and Constraining Sketch GeometrySketched Feature Techniques and FormulasAdding Material with Pad and Shaft Features Thin Features, StiffenersRemoving Material with Pocket and Groove Features Rib and Slot FeaturesCreating Reference Elements for construction and measurementFillet, Chamfer, Hole, Draft, and Shell Dress-Up FeaturesPattern, Copy, and Mirror Duplication FeaturesObtaining Part InformationGenerative Drafting View CreationGenerative Drafting Dimensioning and AnnotationMulti-sections Solid FeaturesFeature Management Using the Hide / Show, Activate / Deactivate FunctionsParent/Child Relationships and Feature Failure ResolutionAssembly Design WorkbenchConstraint creation, assembly management, and PDM considerationsObtaining Assembly Information (Measure, Clash, and Bill of Materials)Working with Multi-Body ModelsPrerequisitesExperience in mechanical design and drawing production using 3D CAD software.
