Once major advantage I realized when using CATIA is surface modelling, and modifications or changes in part model later. SOLIDWORKS provide a really good and quick way to part modelling. However, part modifications and assembly modifications take time. In CATIA, complex geometries can be easily generated, when compared to SOLIDWORKS. Managing and updating designs of large scale models and complex geometries made me realize an advantage of CATIA over other CAD software.

CATIA - a 3D modeling software way ahead of the rivals
- SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD
CATIA is kind of a must to use the software in the automotive industry, I have used SOLIDWORKS before, for simple component and assembly design only, it can be efficient; but not for complex surfaces and assemblies. AutoCAD is very good at 2D drawing, but crawling on the 3D side. Therefore there was a list of alternatives; however, I can say that none were evaluated in detail for the selection. The entire company's experience lies behind CATIA and cannot be changed due to current efficiency.

CATIA Review
CATIA is much easier to work with than SOLIDWORKS, models come to life in fewer steps and designing complex geometries is more practical and takes less time. Also, doing assemblies is much easier too, and there are more possibilities to work with each part of the assembly. SOLIDWORKS ends up being more intuitive for new users, so it is better to teach users how to start 3D modeling with it.

CATIA for your Parts
- SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD
To be honest, it is our company's decision, it was here when I came. But I can say that the assembly feature is easier than SOLIDWORKS. Also, we use AutoCAD for more 2D drawings; or creating 2D drafts from not parts, but a scratch, AutoCAD is better. CATIA wouldn't match AutoCAD on 2D drawings.

CATIA V5
You can create solid or 3D figures more easily and efficiently using Catia than in other programs or in specific AutoCAD. You can also create different pieces to later assemble them and thus create figures even more complex or in greater detail. In the same way, you can make 2D drawings without much complication.
