Acknowledgement

I feel really fortunate to have learnt the basics of CATIA V5 as a part of summer training at this
renowned institute. I would like to thank all the persons who guided or helped me in any way
during my training. I was really impressed by the knowledge and way of teaching of my mentor
Mr. who was always there to help me wherever I needed him. He encouraged the students to ask
questions making us more aware of what we were learning. It was a very good experience
learning the software and has proved to be very fruitful. I could not have done this training
without the help of my friends who supported me through the training.

Chapter 2: Technology Learnt


CATIA V5 stands for Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application
Version 5.
It was developed by Dassault Systems, France. It is multi-platform
CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software. It is written in C++ programming language.
This Mechanical Engineering CADD (Computer Aided Designing and Drafting)
software is used in various industries like Automobile, Aerospace, Consumer goods etc.

CATIA V5 provides three basic platforms: P1, P2, and P3
P1-is for small and medium sized companies that wish to grow
towards the large scale.
P2-is for the advanced design engineering companies that require
product, process, and resource modeling.
P3-is for high-end design application and is basically for
automotive and aerospace industries.

Commonly referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite, CATIA
supports multiple stages of product development, including conceptualization, design
(CAD), engineering (CAE) and manufacturing (CAM).

CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites, and
molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. The
software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing. It provides tools to
complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well
as kinematics definition.
CATIA offers a solution to shape design, styling, surfacing workflow and visualization to
create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes. CATIA supports multiple stages


of product design whether started from scratch or from 2D sketches. CATIA is able to
read and produce STEP format files for reverse engineering and surface reuse.

CATIA offers a solution to facilitate the design and manufacturing of routed systems
including tubing, piping, Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning (HVAC). Capabilities
include requirements capture, 2D diagrams for defining hydraulic, pneumatic
and HVAC systems.

CATIA can be applied to a wide variety of industries, from aerospace and defense,
automotive, and industrial equipment, to high tech, shipbuilding, consumer goods, plant
design, consumer packaged goods, life sciences, architecture and construction, process
power and petroleum, and services. CATIA V4, CATIA
V5,Pro/ENGINEER, NX (formerly Unigraphics), and SolidWorks are the dominant
systems.

The Boeing Company used CATIA V3 to develop its 777 airliner.

Many automotive companies use CATIA to varying degrees,
including BMW, Porsche, Daimler AG, Chrysler, Honda, Audi, Jaguar Land
Rover, Volkswagen, SEAT, koda, Bentley Motors Limited, Volvo, Fiat, Benteler
International, PSA Peugeot Citron, Renault, Toyota, Ford, Scania, Hyundai, koda
Auto, Tesla Motors, Rolls-Royce Motors, Valmet Automotive, Proton, Elba, Tata
motors and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. Goodyear uses it in making tires for
automotive and aerospace and also uses a customized CATIA for its design and
development.

Dassault Systmes has begun serving shipbuilders with CATIA V5 release 8, which
includes special features useful to shipbuilders. GD Electric Boat used CATIA to design
the latest fast attack submarine class for the United States Navy, the Virginia class.




System Requirements:
To ensure smooth running of CATIA V5, following are the system requirements:
System unit: P3 or P4
Work station: Windows XP professional, Windows 2000, Windows 7 etc.
RAM: 256MB minimum.
Disk drive: 4GB space
Display: true graphic color




Modules/Workbenches in CATIA V5:

Sketcher: This workbench contains various tools with which we can create the required
sketches for various operations.
It is an environment where we create a profile of solid model through use of its sketch
tools with constraints.


Specification tree: It contains all the information of the steps which we use to make
the sketch in sketch workbench, part in part modeling workbench, assembly in assembly
workbench etc.

Compass: Compass is used to manipulate the part, assembly. It appears on the top right
corner of the geometry area.
Sketcher can be used to make figures such as,



In the above figure, commands such as circle, tangency, trim, coincide, mirror are used and
further this sketch can be converted into a 3-D part using part modeling.
The color green symbolizes that the sketch is fully constrained.
The color white symbolizes that the sketch is not constrained.
The color purple symbolizes that the sketch is over constrained.

Part Modeling: After the completion of sketch, it can be converted into a 3-D model
by changing workbench and using the part modeling tools.

Start Mechanical Design Part Modeling
There are various tools that are used to convert a sketch into a part.
They are as follows:
Pad: Pad is used to extrude profile in one or both direction with adding material
within limits.
Insert Sketch based feature Pad
Pocket: It is used to remove material from existing part within limits. It is just
opposite to pad.
Insert Sketch based feature Pocket
Shaft: It is used to create a material by revolving a profile around selected axis.
Insert Sketch based feature Shaft
Groove: It is used to remove material from existing body through revolve profile
around selected axis.
Insert Sketch based feature Groove
Hole: Hole command is used to create hole in existing body by giving its
parameters.
Insert Sketch based feature Hole
Rib: It is used to create material by sweeping a profile along a center curve.
Insert Sketch based feature Rib


Slot: It is used to remove material from existing part through a profile having a
center curve.
Insert Sketch based feature Slot

There are certain other features that come under the category of Dress Up
Features and Transformation Features.

These are as follows:
Edge Fillet
Chamfer
Draft Angle
Shell





Translation
Mirror
Regular Pattern
Circular Pattern
User defined Pattern

The above part has been made using sketcher then by part modeling using the above mentioned
commands such as shaft, hole, rib, slot etc.
SHAFT command was used to make the pipe connecting the two circular discs.
The six circular holes on each disc were made with the help of HOLE command.
(Firstly a hole was made and then circular pattern was used)
The hole within the pipe was made using SLOT.



Assembly: Assembly modeling is the process of creating designs that consist of two or
more components assembled together at their respective work positions. The components
are brought together and assembled in the assembly Design workbench by applying
suitable parametric assembly constraints to them. The assembly constraints allow you to
restrict the degree of freedom of the components on their respective work positions.

Start Mechanical Design Assembly Design

Below is an exploded assembly of a hair dryer. This exploded assembly can be achieved
by the following steps when we are in the assembly workbench.

Edit Move Explode in assembly design





There are certain constraints that are to be applied to form a perfect assembly.
The constraints are:
Fix: The fix constraint is used to fix the location of the selected component in the 3-D
space. Once the orientation of the component is fixed, its orientation cannot be changed.
Insert Fix
Coincidence constraint: It is used to coincide the central axis of the cylindrical
features that are selected from two different components. This option is also used to
apply the coincident constraint between edges, points, planes or faces.
Insert Coincidence
Contact: It is applied to make a surface to surface contact between two selected
elements from two different components.
Insert Contact
Offset constraint: It is used to place the selected elements at an offset distance from
each other. It also makes two planar faces parallel to each other.
Insert Offset
Angle constraint: It is used to position two geometric elements at a particular angle
with respect to each other. You can also make two selected elements parallel or
perpendicular to each other.
Insert Angle




The above figure shows a fully constrained assembled hair dryer.
