CATIA Erfahrungen

You can work on any design on Catia. It has several modules which you can customize for your needs, such as mechanical, electrical, manufacturing tools. You can also work with parametric for any dimentions that can be connected with a formula and variables. It is well integrated with PLMs.

User interface has not been changed for years which feels it's old. You should be trained well to use all functions. It may take some time to open/import data from different types.

It is very easy to do anything we want to do via this software from drawing and solid body to surface modeling... The space of CATIA is fantastic for user.it will be more if i say this is the best Solid Modeling Program in the whole market everywhere we look for such soft wares...

Sometimes CATIA takes a little long while downloading our files and this makes the whole work a little boring for doer. And i also know that it is not a big issue for a software it usually happens while using other ones as well.So this is the great for me .

I like that CATIA is simple and doesn't need much expertise in order to master it. CATIA allows importing files in different extensions and works smoothly with them. Also, I like the shortcuts of CATIA which saves me a lot of time.

I don't like the limited features that CATIA offers as i can't deal with solid structures or metal structures. Also, CATIA is not for professional use because it doesn't have any support community and lacks collaborative tools.

CATIA offers the ability to manage the entire project life cycle and the documentation capability is good.

Valuable Engineering reports creation using CATIA tools and the collaboration across different Engineering teams is effective.

CATIA is very simple and flexible Engineering platform and easy on the first training.

very solid software and stable.
nice to manage license access from server per user.
excellent support
send you CDs

hard for user to lease license from server when traveling. other CAD software would allow you to take license with you out of office for laptop keeping the main license on server for desktop

very expensive and high yearly maintenance fees

Being able to work on product tree is crucial. Parametric design tools and analysis tools are working together and it is awesome.

It is not super user-friendly program as Solidworks but it works anyway. Sometimes, when i'm working on the big products, update can take lots of time.

CATIA was born from the need for a design tool for the aeronautical industry, years of Dassault experience have refined a platform designed for the life cycle of a product, since it is born in thought until it becomes obsolete in some way, it has unique functionalities for the design of products, fijence I say products and not merely design, that is the philosophy of CATIA, you can simulate the production, the processes, the supply chains, without a doubt the Fifth Essence of this market.

I think the only disadvantage that it has is its price and the modest network of partners for support.

Easy to understand the tools and achieve more things on design concepts.Part design assembly design concepts are good to learn to achieve complete design

Starting up the software is very slow.please try to improve ASAP.
Parametric modeling should be improved

This is a wonderful CAD designing program and pretty much the standard for most manufacturers in the automotive industry.

The Graphics utilization and RAM allocation of this applications is probably the heaviest i have seen on any program.

This software gives you the liberty to rearrange tool pallets and it makes the software more easier to use. This software can also be used to architecture, as it offers wall tools to help create building plan very efficiently.

In the beginning, it's difficult to grasp the interface quickly and tools are not very intuitive as compared to other software. It needs a planning to know all the options in short time. But In my experience with this software is splendid. And it won't be wrong to say that this software is my number one choice when it comes to perfect designing.

Catia is a great tool for making CAD designs and also offers a tom of features related to manufacturing and fabricating various types of tools, processes etc.

It's a great tool, but it may not be easy for beginners to use and need to learn the software to use it properly.

In colleges, we used catia for learning the design of 3d materials.We used different processes, parameters to get the results and it worked perfectly well.Now again, i am using it to go more deep diving towards the design and it really helped

Not much to go against it.Simple and effective tool.. Just a little slow and needs a fast process computer to worl on a effective note.

Concept of 3 dimensional modelling was introduced by CATIA which is amazing. Approach of designer becomes easy and putting thoughts on paper can easily model into 3D. Saved a lot cost of prototyping and time to market. History managed easily and reused. 2D to 3D and vice versa is easy.

Honestly i dont see any limitations of this software other than Cost which make sense for larger organization but smaller organization cant afford.

Sketching and drawings are amazing
I have used CATIA for almost ten years. Its functionality is really great. You can model any 2D or 3D part using CATIA.
Drawings are among the most important features of a company. Using CATIA, high-quality drawings can be modeled.

At the beginning of working with CATIA, it seems that it is really hard to work with.
Information about some of the features is lacking in the CATIA website. So whenever we want to know how to model a specific 3D part, we should search a lot and talk to many people to understand.

Catia can do basically anything you want from a graphical design standpoint. My company designs very complicated 2D and 3D models of tires and Catia can do it with ease.

Learning to use the software is very time-consuming. Because of the thousands of functions and tools at your disposal, the learning curve is steep. However once you're a pro, it's great.

You can easily create 3D design and choose the suitable material from Catia library and calculate the mass, inertia, volume.

It's not easy to use. It has many different feature . You need to get training .

High speed 3 d modelling application with rendering support.
Supports wide variety of file types
Easy to convert 2d to 3 d easily
Supports access through the internet

Should introduce a higher cloud storage option
Should implement radx support in 3 d rendi as it shows improved details while creating an animation

I use this software for designing various automotive components and altogether visualization of vehicle environment

It sometimes takes a lot of time if you decide to load too many components at a time

I've heard of the program before, but when I first started work I started to use it. I was using Solidworks and AutoCAD. At first, I noticed that mouse clicks are more ergonomic over time, though they are reversed by these programs.

In addition, a very advanced level with parametric design can be easily intervened design.

3D to 2D image transfer feature is great.

I had no negative experience with the program. Although I started with other programs, I started to adapt to catia program very quickly and started to use it actively.

I n my view the most usefulness of Dessault Systems CATIA is it's ease of use. Even with a mouse you can do a lot of things. Rendering is neat and fast. The hardware and system requirements are quiet comparable. Another most important is it's low cost among the rivels. Even with low cost it provides decent features and it makes the CATIA a good choice for 3D modeling

In my user experience the most annoying thing is it's interface. It is outdated. But I think that outdated design makes the software easy to use even in low hardware configuration.

User friendly
Enormous options to use
Easy to learn
Plenty of shortcuts available

Licenses need to be renewed regularly
Bit costlier.
