CATIA V5 Practice Exam

About CATIA V5
CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application. It’s much more than a CAD (Computer Aided Design) software package. It’s a full software suite which incorporates CAD, CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacture). CATIA also provides improved communication due the centralization of design data and documentation

The first release of CATIA was back in 1977 by Dassault Systèmes.

CATIA provides
•    2D design- Employed by Engineers to help create, modify and/or analyze graphical representations of product designs. Its applications stretch across a multitude of industries due to its many popular benefits.
•    3D design and models - Computer-aided engineering used for the simulation and analysis of product designs, to prepare a product design for real world stresses.

This ultimately leads to better product performance and customer experiences.

Why is CATIA V5 important?
CATIA (Computer-Aided Three dimensional Interactive Application) software is widely used and important part of CAD/CAM applications used by companies.

It provides a complete multi-platform solution for
•    computer-aided design
•    computer-aided manufacturing
•    computer-aided engineering and 3D
•    PLM
•    Solid modelling with Part Design, to design precise 3D mechanical parts with an intuitive and flexible user interface, from sketching in an assembly context to iterative detailed design.
•    Quickly model both simple and complex shapes using wireframe and surface features of Generative Shape Design
•    product structure, constraints, and moving assemblies by Assembly module
•    Kinematic Simulation

Important CATIA V5 Components
CATIA v5 provides following components for specific functionality
•    Part Design: To design and layout parts.
•    Sketcher: To sketch and drawing 2D shapes.
•    Wireframe and Surface: To give existing mechanical part design, with wire frame properties, and basic surface properties.
•    Assembly Design: To readily setting up mechanical assembly constraints, and positions parts automatically, and Examination assembly uniformity.
•    Generative and Interactive Drafting: To create drawings from 3D part and assembly designs and produce clean 2D drawings.
•    Sheet metal Design: To design sheet metal parts.

Who should take the CATIA V5 Exam?
•    CAD / CAM / CAE professionals, managers and senior executives
•    Students
•    Anyone who wants to assess their CATIA skills
•    CAD/CAM/CAE consultants
•    Professionals working in outsourced CAD/CAM/CAE companies
