1.2 History
CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Avions
Marcel Dassault, at that time customer of the CADAM CAD software.Initially named CATI
(Conception Assis tee Tridimensional Interactive — French for Interactive Aided Three-
dimensional Design ) — it was renamed CATIA in 1981, when Dassault created a
subsidiary to develop and sell the software, and signed a non- exclusive distribution
agreement with IBM.[2]In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD
tool, becoming its largest customer.In 1988, CATIA version 3 was ported from mainframe
computers to UNIX.
In 1990, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, to
design the U.S. Navy's Virginia class submarine.In 1992, CADAM was purchased from
IBM and the next year CATIA CADAM V4 was published. In 1996, it was ported from one
to four Unix operating systems.including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun
Microsystems SunOS and Hewlett- Packard HP-UX.In 1998, an entirely rewritten version
of CATIA, CATIA V5 was released, with support for UNIX, Windows NT and Windows
XP since 2001.
In 2008, Dassault announced and released CATIA V6. While the server can run on Microsoft
Windows, Linux or AIX, client support for any operating system other than Microsoft
Windows is dropped.

To design sheet metal components in Catia, you typically start by creating a 3D model of the
part using standard solid modeling tools. You can then apply sheet metal-specific features,
such as flanges, bends, corners, and cuts, to create a fully formed sheet metal part. Catia's
sheet metal tools provide a range of options for modeling complex sheet metal parts,
including the ability to create variable radius bends, lofted flanges, and other advanced
features.
Once the sheet metal part is modeled, you can generate a flat pattern that represents the part
in its unfolded state. The flat pattern can be used to create manufacturing drawings, laser-cut
patterns, and other production-related documents. Catia's sheet metal tools provide powerful
automation features for creating and managing flat patterns, including the ability to specify
bend allowances, grain direction, and other critical factors that impact the final shape and
performance of the part.
Overall, Catia's sheet metal module is a powerful and versatile tool for designing and
manufacturing sheet metal components and structures. Whether you're creating a simple
bracket or a complex sheet metal assembly, Catia provides the tools and features you need to
design, model, and manufacture your parts with precision and efficiency.
Most parts can be created by using the Part Design and Wireframe and Surfaces tools.
However, there are times when sheet metal specific parts are needed. The sheet metal
workbenches allow you to create parts that can be folded and unfolded in order to make them
easier to work with. Many times, using sheet metal features can simplify your design. There
are a few workbenches in CATIA that deal with sheet metal options. Some of the options
appear in more than one sheet metal workbench. They will only be covered once. This course
will discuss all of the options found in the Sheet Metal Design and Sheet Metal Hydro-
formed workbenches.
Generative Shape Design Workbench contains surfacing tools for creating geometry that is
otherwise impossible to make with standard part design tools, such as pads, revolves, sweeps,
and multi-section solid.

CHAPTER 3
3.1 Basic introduction to simulation
Catia is a computer-aided design (CAD) software that offers various simulation tools to
analyze the performance of a design before it is built. These simulation tools include Finite
Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Kinematics
simulations.
FEA is used to analyze the structural behavior of a design by dividing it into small elements
and calculating the stresses and strains within each element. CFD is used to analyze fluid
flow and heat transfer in a design, while Kinematics simulations are used to analyze the
motion of assemblies and mechanisms.
To perform a simulation in Catia, you typically start by importing the 3D model of the design
into the software. You can then set up the simulation parameters and run the simulation.
After the simulation is complete, you can view the results and analyze the performance of the
design.
Overall, Catia offers a comprehensive set of simulation tools that can help designers and
engineers to optimize their designs and reduce the need for physical prototyping.

3.2 Drafting
In Catia, drafting is the process of creating 2D engineering drawings from 3D models. The
drafting module allows designers and engineers to create detailed and accurate drawings that
communicate the design intent and specifications to manufacturing teams and other
stakeholders.
To create a drafting in Catia, you typically start by importing the 3D model of the design into
the software. You can then use the drafting module to create a new drawing sheet and add
views of the 3D model to the sheet. The views can be customized to show different
orientations, sections, and details of the design.
In the drafting module, you can also add dimensions, annotations, and other symbols to the
views to specify the tolerances, materials, and other requirements of the design. You can also
create tables, bills of materials, and other documentation to provide additional information
about the design.
Once the drafting is complete, you can export the drawings in various file formats, such as
PDF, DWG, or DXF, to share with other teams or stakeholders. You can also use Catia's
integrated PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system to manage and track the design and
documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
3.3 GD&T
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system of symbols and standards
used in engineering drawings to communicate the size, shape, orientation, and location of
features and components. It provides a precise and consistent way of specifying the
geometric requirements of a part or assembly, which is essential for ensuring that it will
function properly and fit with other parts.
GD&T is based on the principles of functional dimensioning, which means that the
dimensions and tolerances specified in a drawing should be based on the functional
requirements of the part, rather than arbitrary values. It uses a set of symbols, such as
geometric symbols, feature control frames, and datum reference frames, to specify the
tolerances and relationships between features.
Increased precision: GD&T allows for tighter tolerances and more precise specifications,
which can lead to better performance and reliability of the part.
Reduced cost: By specifying the tolerances and requirements more precisely, GD&T can help
to reduce the need for expensive rework or scrap, as well as reduce the number of prototypes
required.
Overall, GD&T is an important tool for engineers and designers to communicate the
functional requirements of a part or assembly and ensure that it will perform as intended.

A double bearing assembly is for supporting a rotatable shaft within a housing and includes
two axially-spaced inner races mounted on the shaft. Each inner race has an outer race
surface with a radially-outwardly extending shoulder section adjacent one axial end and are
arranged such that the two shoulder surfaces are facing. Two axially-spaced outer races are
disposed within the housing, each about one of the inner races. Each outer race has an inner
race surface with a radially-inwardly extending shoulder section adjacent one end and are
arranged such that the two shoulder surfaces face away from each other. A set of rolling
elements are disposed between each pair of races. At least one biasing member biases one of
the outer races axially to retain the associated rolling elements sandwiched between the inner
shoulder surface of the outer race and the outer shoulder surface of the corresponding inner
race.

In the mechanical industry, clamps are devices used to hold or secure objects in place. They
come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, and are often designed for specific purposes.
C-Clamps: These clamps have a C-shaped frame with a threaded screw or lever that applies
pressure to the object being secured. They are commonly used in woodworking and
metalworking.
Spring Clamps: These clamps have a spring-loaded mechanism that applies pressure to the
object being secured. They are commonly used in photography, woodworking, and other
applications where a quick and easy clamping solution is needed.
Toggle Clamps: These clamps have a lever that pivots on a fulcrum and applies pressure to
the object being secured. They are commonly used in welding and other applications where a
strong, secure hold is needed.
Pipe Clamps: These clamps are designed to hold pipes in place during cutting, threading, or
welding. They typically have a hinged design with a screw or lever that applies pressure to
the pipe.
Bar Clamps: These clamps have a long bar that can be adjusted to fit the width of the object
being secured. They are commonly used in woodworking and metalworking.
Overall, clamps are an essential tool in the mechanical industry, and choosing the right type
of clamp for a particular application is important to ensure a secure and stable hold.
Here are the general steps to make a CAD model of a clamp in CATIA:
• Open a new CATIA part design document and create a new sketch on the XY plane.
• Draw the profile of the clamp using the sketch tools, such as lines, arcs, and circles.
The profile should include all the necessary features, such as the clamp arms, screw,
and spring (if applicable).
• Use the sketch tools to add any required dimensions or constraints to the sketch.
• Use the extrude tool to extrude the sketch profile into a 3D solid, with the appropriate
thickness and length.
• Use the hole tool to create the screw hole in the clamp body.
• If the clamp has a spring, use the wireframe and surface design workbench to create a
3D model of the spring, and then use the assembly design workbench to combine the
spring and the clamp body into a single assembly.
• Apply appropriate materials and surface finishes to the clamp model using the
material and appearance tools.
• Save the model and create any necessary documentation, such as 2D drawings or
assembly instructions.
