This training guide is the first training step for any engineer that is going to be taking downstream manufacturing or analysis training. It provides an introduction to the interface and modeling capabilities of CATIA V5 with a focus on the specific tools required to perform NC and FEA operations. On completion of this training guide, students will have acquired the skills to work with existing model data in CATIA V5 and to create new geometry using wireframe, solid, and surface modeling techniques. Through this extensive hands-on training guide with numerous practice exercises, focus is given to concepts of measurement, analysis, and simple geometry creation.

Course topics:

• Overview of Parametric Design Process
