CATIA Core Tools ─ Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application

A practical guide to selecting and using CATIA tools

CATIA Core Tools: Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Applications covers this computer-aided 3D interactive application for high-end manufacturing environments. CATIA is a multi-platform application which includes CAD, CAM, and CNC applications all in one to achieve seamless transactions between applications.

For many years, Dassault Systemes (creator of CATIA) released a new edition twice a year. As most engineers do not need to know the hundreds of different applications that come with this software, this book offers the core topics in print and then allows you to download (for a fee) specialty tool(s).

Specialty tools include: Solid Design / Assemblies / Surface Design / Aerospace Sheet Metal Design / Kinematics Calculations and Analysis / Composites Modeling / 3-axis NC Programming / 5-axis NC Programming / NC Turning / Knowledgeware / Stress Analysis.
