INTRODUCTION
Catia is also known as computer aided three
dimensional interactive application. CATIA was
started in 1977 by French Aircraft Manufacturer Avions
Marcel Dassault System .
It is also used in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding,
and other industries.
CATIA is developed by DASSAULT system and IBM
Its programming is written in c++ language
WHY CHOOSE CATIA OVER OTHERS?
 In CATIA, you can not only create a car, but a factory in which it
will be produced,
The machining processes required
Even you can simulate ergonomics studies as well, like weather the
current layout of a plant will be comfortable for workers to work or
not
So you can simulate the whole thing within a virtual reality,
including, and of course, rendering.
FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING :
CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet
metal composites, moulded, forged or tooling parts up to the
definition of mechanical assemblies. The software provides
advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing In the case of
Aerospace engineering an additional module named the aerospace
sheet metal design offers the user combine the capabilities of
generative sheet metal design and generative surface design
FOR INDUSTRY:
Aerospace

The Boeing Company used CATIA V3 to develop its 777 airliner, and is currently using CATIA
V5 for the 787 series aircraft. Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier Aerospace has done all of its
designing on CATIA.

Automotive

BMW, Porsche, Daimler Chrysler, Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley Motors Limited, Volvo, Fiat,
Bentlee AG, PSA Peugeot Citron, Renault, Toyota, Ford, Scania, Hyundai, Skoda Auto, Tesla
Motors, Proton, Tata motors and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. Many automotive companies
use CATIA for car structures door beams, IP supports, bumper beams, roof rails, side rails,
body components because CATIA is very good in surface creation and Computer
representation of surfaces.
 Shipbuilding

Dassault Systems has begun serving shipbuilders with CATIA V5 release 8, which includes
special features useful to shipbuilders. GD Electric Boat used CATIA to design the latest fast
attack submarine class for the United States Navy, the Virginia class. Northrop Grumman
Newport News also used CATIA to design the Gerald R. Ford class of supercarriers for the US
Navy.
Other

Architect Frank Gehry has used the software, through the C-Cubed Virtual Architecture company,
now Virtual Build Team, to design his award-winning curvilinear buildings. His technology arm,
Gehry Technologies, has been developing software based on CATIA V5 named Digital Project.
Digital Project has been used to design buildings and has successfully completed a handful of
projects.

THE SPECIFICATION TREE

Provides access to the history of how a part was constructed, and shows the
product structure
Parts can be modified by selecting
them from the spec. tree.

PART DESIGN

The Part Design application is used to create solid models of parts

Solid parts are usually created from 2D profiles that are extruded
or revolved to form a base feature
Parts can be modified by selecting their features in the
specification tree

ASSEMBLY DESIGN
The Assembly Design application allows you to create a product
model from a number of separate parts
The parts in a product assembly are not joined together, but
assembled as they would be in a physical assembly
The product assembly structure is hierarchical and allows you to
model complex product relationships
Constraints can be applied between the parts in assembly to
define relationships between them

STEPS FOR CREATING AN ASSEMBLY

1. Create a new CATProduct using File -> New -> Product.

2. Use the Product Structure tools to lay out the main assembly
structure
3. Use Insert Existing Component or Insert New Part to create
geometry in the Assembly
4. Use Constraints to capture the design relationships between the
various parts in the assembly
