CHAPTER - 1
INTRODUCTION

CATIA V5 is a powerful 3D modelling application that is widely

used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial
design. Its robust features and capabilities make it an excellent
choice for designing complex parts and assemblies. In this guide, we
will explore the basics of CATIA V5 and its many functions.
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 V5 is primarily used for designing, drafting, and manufacturing

of products in various industries such as aerospace, automotive,
industrial equipment, and more.

• Parametric Design:
CATIA V5 supports parametric modeling, allowing users to create 3D
models with defined parameters, making it easy to modify designs
and maintain design intent.

• Assembly Design:
Users can create complex assemblies of parts, simulate motion, and
analyse interferences between components.

• Surface Modeling:
7

Advanced surface modeling capabilities for designing complex

shapes and organic forms.

• Drafting and Documentation:

CATIA V5 includes tools for creating 2D drawings, annotations, and
other documentation for manufacturing and assembly.

• Generative Shape Design:

Allows users to create and modify advanced 3D shapes using a
variety of tools.
