What is CATIA?
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application) is a computer-aided design (CAD) software for creating 3D models and product designs. It was developed by the French company Dassault Systèmes and is widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding industries for the design, simulation, and analysis of complex systems and products.
- CATIA provides a comprehensive set of tools for modeling, assembly, simulation, and production drawings and can be used in the entire product development process.
- It supports multiple stages of product development from conceptualization, design, and engineering to manufacturing.
- It facilitates collaborative engineering through an integrated cloud service.
What is CATIA Software?
CATIA offers a range of tools for 3D modeling, including surface design, wireframe and sketch-based modeling, and solid modeling. It also includes tools for assembly design, kinematics simulation, and technical documentation. Additionally, CATIA includes a wide range of functionalities like sheet metal design, electrical and fluid systems design, and composite materials design.
