- Recommendations
Users commonly recommend the following:
-
Receive proper training: Users advise that in order to effectively use CATIA, it is important to receive proper training. They recommend taking classes or getting training from third-party CATIA trainers to learn useful tools and modeling methods. By receiving training, users can maximize the software's capabilities and avoid potential errors or inefficiencies.
-
Consider other software options: Some users suggest considering other software options such as Pro/E, NX, SolidWorks, or Autocad before selecting CATIA. They mention that these alternatives may provide a better user experience or have more suitable interfaces for certain needs. Users recommend evaluating different software options based on specific requirements before making a final decision.
-
Carefully choose the license version: Users emphasize the importance of choosing the right license version for CATIA based on individual needs. They mention that CATIA offers various workbenches and functionalities, and it is essential to carefully consider which license features are required for the specific design tasks at hand. Taking the time to select the appropriate license version can ensure optimal use of CATIA's capabilities and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Overall, users commonly recommend receiving proper training, considering alternative software options, and carefully choosing the license version when working with CATIA.

Lots of Workbenches here for CATIA you Have to Design Everything. Mostly OEM Company Only Used This. I like That Very Much, Currently, i am designing HYUNDAI, KIA and GENESIS car Automotive parts. Also Drafting for Manufacturing purposes.
- Surface Modeling Method
- Easy Updating
- Designing, Analysis and Drafting All we done any time
- Some commands not updatable
- Need to add more options in Plane and Point command
- Surfaced Command need to add some extra Features
- Part Design
- surface Design
- Drifting
- Good processing
- Level of Design work
- Reduce time waste
It is basically used by all engineers.

We used CATIA for quick prototyping of the products. Since, the utility trucks are customized according to the customer need, modifications and changes to the basic or existing designs are significant. CATIA helps in the process for modification and generating body trucks easier. Being in the product design and development department required us to keep modifying the existing designs. With CATIA, there was no need to delete the modifying part. Multiple drag points of the original design provides a mesh like design, where not only simple geometry but complex geometries were equivalently easier to modify.
It becomes tedious when making modifications in a large scale assembly parts. However, CATIA made it easier to handle. Different applications of our products require constant modifications to the utility designs. I used to relocate interference of hydraulic hoses of boom assembly, boom bucket modifications, and body modifications of the truck.
One issue I faced is the learning curve of the software. Having many modules requires one to invest time initially. However, once learned it becomes really handy in the industry.

- Surface modelling becomes easy.
- Modifications to specific points without affecting adjacent parts
- Simulation run with model is really great
- Product modelling becomes difficult. Moreover, needs more steps than other CAD software
- Need to sit and learn from a person else, really hard to learn on own
- Surface modelling
- Extrude, fill, and join commands
- easy to modify or change
- Tricky in product modelling
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.
