CATIA Introduction to Solid and Assembly Modeling

This course emphasizes design and model interrogation of products based on 3-D solid feature-based modeling using CATIA V5. It covers sketching (using 2-D curves to create 3-D models), various modeling and interrogation and analysis methods, and introductory assembly modeling and drafting with 3-D models. Different geometric modeling methods and the impact of 3-D solid models on manufacturing will be briefly discussed.
