Course Outline Introduction & Understanding to CATIA Environment Introduction & Understanding to CATIA interface Starting new file Understand the Sketcher workbench of CATIA V5 Start a new file in the Part workbench and invoke the Sketcher workbench within it Drawing Sketches Set up the Sketcher workbench Understand some important Sketcher terms Draw sketches using some of the tools in the Sketcher workbench Use some of the drawing display tools Sketch Profile toolbar with constraints Draw splines Connect two elements using an arc or a spline Draw elongated holes Draw cylindrical elongated holes. Draw key holes Draw hexagons Draw centered rectangles Draw centered parallelograms Draw different types of conics Edit and modify sketches
Understanding Geometric and Dimensional Constraints Add geometrical constraints to sketches Add dimensional constraints to sketches Understand the concept of iso-constraint, under-constraint, and over-constraint sketches Creating base Solid Models Analyze and delete over defining constraints Create base features by extruding sketches Create base features by revolving sketches Dynamically rotate the model view Modify the view orientation Switch between various display modes Assign material to the model Using Reference Elements and Modeling features Understand the importance of sketching planes Create reference elements Use feature termination options Create pocket features Create groove features Extrude and revolve the planar and curved faces Dress up features or feature editing toolbar Create fillet features Create chamfer features Add draft to the faces of the models Create a shell feature. Adding thickness Face operations Threads
Creating Holes Create holes using the Hole tool Part Design Features Edit features using the Definition option Edit features by double-clicking Edit sketches of the sketch-based features Manage features and sketches by cut, copy, and paste functionality. Cut copy features Cut, copy, and paste features and sketches from one file to another Copy features using drag and drop Delete features Deactivate features Reordering features and Parent-child relationship Activate the deactivated features Define features in the work object Reorder features Understand parent child relationships Understand the concept of update diagnose Measure elements Working with Bodies and Boolean operations Translate and rotate bodies Create symmetry features and bodies Transformation features Mirror features and bodies Create rectangular patterns Create circular patterns Create user patterns
Scale models Work with additional bodies Add stiffeners to a model Rib and Slots Create rib features Create slot features Multisections Solid Create multi-section solid features Create removed multi-section solid features Working Assembly constraints Insert components into an assembly file Create bottom-up assemblies Insert components into a product file Move and rotate components inside an assembly Add constraints to individual components Create top-down assemblies Edit assembly designs Create the exploded state of assemblies Drawing & Drafting Start new files in the Drafting workbench Generate views using the View Creation Wizard Generate front views Generate advanced front views Generate projected views Generate auxiliary views Generate isometric views Generate section views
Generate aligned section views Generate section cuts Generate aligned section cuts Generate detail views Generate detail view profiles Generate clipping views Generate clipping view profiles Generate broken views Generate breakout views Edit and modify drawing views Modify hatch patterns of the section views Insert additional sheets in the current drawing file Insert frames and title blocks Add annotations to the drawing views Edit the annotations Generate the Bill of Material (BOM) Generate balloon
