WHAT IS CATIA?

 CATIA MEANS COMPUTER AIDED THREE

DIMENSIONAL INTERACTIVE APPLICATION
 CATIA IS A MEACHANICAL DESIGN SOFTWARE. IT
IS A FEATURE BASED PARAMETRIC SOLID
MODELLING DESIGN TOOL.
 YOU CAN CREATE FULLY ASSOCIATIVE 3D SOLID
MODELS WITH OR WITHOUT CONSTANTS WHILE
USING AUTOOMAATIC OR USER DEFINE
RELATIONS TO CAPTURE THE DESIGN IN INTENT.
TYPES OF MODULE STUDIED:
 SKETCHER
 PART DESIGN
 ASSEMBLY
 SHEET METAL
 DRAFTING
 WIRE FRAME AND SURFACE DESIGN
SKETCHING
 THE SKETCHER WORK BENCH IS A 2D WORK
SPACE. THE ELEMENTS CREATED WITHIN
SKETCHER ARE EXCLUSIVELY 2D WIRE FRAME
ELEMENTS.
 THE SKETCHER WORK BENCH IS AN
ENVIRONMENT BUILT TO FACILITATE THE
CREATION OF 2D PROFILES.
ALLOY WHEEL MADE BY USING PART DESIGN
BASIC SKETCHING
 NON POSITION SKETCH:

A NON POSITION SKETCH IS ONE FOR WHICH YOU

DO NOT SPECIFY THE ORIGIN AND ORIENTATION
OF THE ABSOLUTE AXIS. TO CREATE A NON
POSITION SKETCH SELECT THE SKETCHER ICON,
THEN SELECT THE REFERENCE PLANE IN THE
GEOMETRY AREA.
• POSITION SKETCHING

• POSITION SKETCHING ARE CREATED

INSIDE THE SKETCHER WORK BENCH.
POSITION SKETCHING IS DONE
ACCORDING TO THE REFERENCE PLANE.

• ORIGIN OF THE SKETCH IS POSITIONED

ACCORDING TO ORIGIN REFERENCE.

• ORIENTATION OF THE SKETCH IS DEFINED

ACCORING TO ORIENTATION TYPE.
GEOMETRY CREATION
SKETCH GEOMETRY IS CREATED USING TOOLS
AVAILABLE IN THE PROFILE TOOL BAR.
 USER DEFINED PROFILE
 PRE DEFINED PROFILES
 CIRCLES
 SPLINES
 ELLIPSE & PARABOLAS
 LINES
 AXIS
 POINTS
GEAR PUMP BODY
PART DESIGN
 PART DESIGN INCLUDES MANY FFEATURRES THAT
HELP THE USER TO CREATE A MODEL.
 IN THIS WE USE VARIOUS COMMANDS SUCH AS:
 PAD(material added by extruding a sketch)
 SHAFT(material added by revolving sketch)
 RIB
 MULTI SECTION SOLID
 HOLE
 POCKET(material removed by extruding a sketch)
 GROOVE(material removed by revolving sketch)
 SLOT
DRESS UP FEATURES IN PART DESIGN
DRESS UP FEATURES ADDS FINISHING TO THE
COMPONENTS. THEY ARE GENERALLY TO ONE OR
MORE SUPPORTS.
 FILLET
 CHAMFER
 SHELLING
 THICKNESS
 REMOVE FACES
 REPLACE FACES
 THREADS AND TABS
ASSEMBLY MODELLING
AN ASSEMBLY IS A DOCUMENT THAT STORES A
COLLECTION OF COMPONENTS(parts or other
assemblies).
THE COMPONENTS USED IN AN ASSEMBLY CAN
BE PRE EXISTING COMPONENTS OR COMPONENTS
CREATED WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY. LIKE A PART, AN
ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A SPECIFICATION TREE. THE
TREE SHOWS THE INSERTED COMPONENTS AND
THE CONSTANTS USED TO FIX THE COMPONENTS
MULTIPLE DISC CLUTCH ASSEMBLED VIEW
PRODUCT STRUCTURE TOOLS
 INSERTING AN EXISTING GEOMETRY
 ADDING A NEW COMPONENT
 REPLACING A COMPONENT
 UNLOADING AND RELOADING A COMPONENT
 ASSIGNING COMPONENTS PROPERTIES
SHEET METAL MODULE
SHEET METAL DESIGN IS A PROCESS OF DESIGNING
INDUSTRIAL SHEET METAL PARTS AND ITS
INTRINSIC FEATURES ARE LIKE BENDS, CUT OUTS,
STAMPS, FLENGES.
LIST OF SHEET METAL PROCESS
 BLENKING
 DRAWING
 DEEP DRAWING
 BENDING/FOLDING
 PUNCHING
 FORMING/STAMPING
 SHEARING
 SLITTING
GENERTIVE DRAFTING
DRAFTING WORK BENCH GENERATES THE 2D
VIEWS FROM THE 3D GEOMETRY. DRAFTING CAN
BE BROADLY CLASSIFIED AS GENERATING
DRAFTING AND INTERACTIVE DRAFTING, BOTH
ARE THE SAME EXCEPT THAT THE TOOL ALLOW
GENERATING THE VIEWS AND DIMENSIONING
THEM.
METHODOLOGIES FOR DRAFTING
 SETTING THE DRAWING SHEET
 GENERATING VIEWS FROM 3D
 AUTOMATIC DIMENSION
 DIMENSIONING (interactive)
 ANNOTATION
 GEOMETRY CREATION(interactive)
 DRESS UP(interactive)
 GEOMETRY MODIFICATION(interactive)
SURFACE AND WIRE FRAME DESIGN
 THE CREATION OF WIRE FRAME AND SURFACE
GEOMETRY IS OFTEN NEEDED TO DEFINE THE
COMPLEX SHAPES OF PARTS.
 TO CREATE A SOLID BEST CAPTURE OUR DESIGN
INTENT, HOWEVER THIS MODEL MAY INCLUDE
SURFACE GEOMETRY INTEGRATED INTO THE
SOLID PART
DIFFERENT COMMANDS USED
 CREATING A POINT
 CREATING MULTIPLE POINTS ON A CURVE
 CREATING LINES
 CREATING AXIS
 CREATING MULTIPLE PLANES
 CREATING POLY LINES
 CREATING CURVES
