This training course is intended to provide accelerated introductory training in the CATIA software. This training course is designed for users who have 3D modeling design experience with other 3D CAD software packages (e.g., Creo Parametric™, Inventor™, NX™, SolidWorks®, etc.).
By leveraging the experience users gain in working with other 3D modeling software packages, this hands-on, practice-intensive guide is developed so that users who are new to CATIA can benefit from a shorter, introductory-level, training course. You are taught how to find and use the modeling tools associated with familiar modeling strategies that are used in other 3D CAD software. You will acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the process of creating models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.
