Click here for course outline


CATIA is recognized as a leading PLM and high-end feature based parametric solid modeling design software. CATIA V5 utilizes an intuitive windows user interface that puts powerful design tools in the hands of users operating in the familiar Windows® environment.

 This training program has been tailored for manufacturing, design, and engineering professionals who need to develop skill and speed in using CATIA V5 to create and evaluate complex 3-D solid models and prepare fully dimensioned engineering drawings. This is a 5-hour class that meets one day per week for 16 consecutive weeks. Our computer lab is state-of-the-art with computers that have been properly equipped for feature based solid modeling CAD work. This will be a challenging class that will expose the participants to real-world modeling and design problems utilizing some of the more powerful tools offered in CATIA V5.

Did you know?

U.S. employers spent an average of $647 per employee for training between May and October 1995. (That's only one-third of the year!) Extrapolated, that means almost $2000 per year was spent per employee in the U.S. in 1995. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 1996)
