 Introduction
CATIA V5 stands for Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application
Version 5. It was developed by Dassault Systems, France. It is multi-platform
CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software. It is written in C++ programming language.
This Mechanical Engineering CADD (Computer Aided Designing and Drafting)
software is used in various industries like Automobile, Aerospace, Consumer goods
etc.

CATIA V5 provides three basic platforms: P1, P2, and P3  P1-is for small and
medium sized companies that wish to grow towards the large scale.  P2-is for the
advanced design engineering companies that require product, process, and resource
modeling.  P3-is for high-end design application and is basically for automotive
and aerospace industries. Commonly referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle
Management software suite, CATIA supports multiple stages of product development,
including conceptualization, design (CAD), engineering (CAE) and manufacturing
(CAM).
CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites,
and molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. The
software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing. It provides tools
to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well as kinematics
definition. CATIA offers a solution to shape design, styling, surfacing workflow and
visualization to create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes. CATIA
supports multiple stages of product design whether started from scratch or from 2D
sketches. CATIA is able to read and produce STEP format files for reverse
engineering and surface reuse.
CATIA offers a solution to facilitate the design and manufacturing of routed systems
including tubing, piping, Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning (HVAC).

This module is responsible for the implementation of two-dimensional shapes; in
preparation for make three-dimensional commands on it.

Fig. Sketcher

Part Design: This module is responsible for converting two-dimensional graphics

to three-dimensional objects which is most famous in Catia and is closely linked with
sketcher module. The part design Module is considered from most important modules
that are used by the designer to get the additional advantage from cad programs,
which is stereotaxic drawing or 3-dimensional drawing.

Assembly: This module is responsible for assembling the parts previously produced
in Part Design, and it is most important for those who work in the field of machinery
design or design in general, because it is the one who shows the inter-relationships
between the parts of the machine or any mechanical establishment.

Solid Modeling

'Solid Modeling' is a method used to design parts by combining various 'solid objects'
into a single three-dimensional (3D) part design. Originally, solid modelers were
based on solid objects being formed by primitive shapes such as a cone, torus,
cylinder, sphere, and so on. This evolved into solid objects being created and formed
from swept, lofted, rotated, and extruded 2D wireframe or sketch geometry.
Because of their limited use, some solid modelers have abandoned the primitive
shapes altogether in favor of predefined library solid objects. 'Stock' library objects
provide the designer with a similar shape to begin the design with, eliminating some
of the initial tedious design work.

Fig. Sketching and Modelling Layout

The real power of a solid modeling application is how it can take the solid objects and
combine them together by intersecting, joining, or subtracting the objects from one
another to create the desired resulting shapes. Because everything in a solid model
design is a 'watertight' model of the part, the solid modeler is able to know the
topology of the entire model. By topology we mean that it knows what faces are
adjacent to each other and which edges are tangent.

xii
Fig. Solid Modelling

Since the solid modeler's database knows so much about the entire part model, it can
perform functions virtually impossible with surface modeling. For example you can
fillet all the adjacent edges of a face to other faces in a single command. Another
popular example is the 'shell' function of solid modelers. This allows you to define a
constant wall thickness for the entire model with a simple task with a single
command. A geometric constraint is the relationship of an entity to other entities.
Constraints are only used on the underlying sketch or wireframe entities that define
the solid object boundaries. Some common 'constraints' for these entities are
coincident, collinear, intersect, parallel, perpendicular, and tangent. When one or
more entities are 'constrained' to each other, changing any of the entities will most
likely have an effect on the others. In the example, the lines and arcs have been
assigned tangent constraints to each other and two arc are mirror to each other. When
one of the arcs in the solid's boundary sketch is changed other one is also changed.
modelers automatically assign the constraints for you as you design the part. Others
provide the ability to assign constraints as you are designing. CATIA will
automatically assign constraints where it thinks you want them and then allow you to
modify or remove them manually later. In following example different constraint is
assign by CATIA shown.

xiii
Fig. Different Constraints shown in CATIA

Single entity attributes such as 'horizontal' and vertical' are also considered to be
constraints, since tagging an entity with one of these attributes will keep the solid
modeler from changing it when other entities that have relationships to it are changed.
Constraints are one of the system basics needed to provide true geometric
associativity. Most solid modelers will allow you to add and modify constraints as
needed. There are even some solid modelers that will attempt to automatically assign
the required geometric constraints logically from the steps you take to design the part
Solid modeling vs. Surface modeling: For designs that require any combination of
fillets along multiple edges, contain drafted surfaces, or constant wall thickness, solid
modeling is far superior to surface modeling. For designs that require sculptured
surfaces with a lot of curvature (the mouse you are using on your computer comes to
mind) a surface modeler is far easier than a solid modeler. In fact it may be virtually

xiv
impossible to create some shapes with a solid modeler and hold exact dimensions for
very complex shapes.
