It is introductory presentation for Catia and its capabilities with Proposed learning goal. Video links are provided for ease of understanding. just click underlined lines.

2. WHAT IS DESIGN AND WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF
DESIGN?
WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF DESIGN AND ROLE OF A
DESIGNER IN INDUSTRY?
THEORIES ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND DESIGN
SOFTWARES?
PRACTICAL ASPECT OF DESIGN SOFTWARE

3. INTRODUCTION TO THE TERM DESIGN:
 THE TERM DESIGN MEANS TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE SOLUTION TO
ONE’S PROBLEM OR YOU CAN SAY IN OTHER WORDS BREAK THE
PROBLEM TO ITS SIMPLEST FORM TO GET ITS SOLUTION.
 DESIGN IS THE AREA OF HUMAN EXPERTISE, SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE
WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH ONE’S APTITUDE TO MODIFY ONE’S
SURROUNDINGS TO MATCH HIS OR HER NEED.
THINKING
DESIGNING REAL PRODUCT

4. DESIGN PROCEDURE USED IN
INDUSTRIES:
• CAD Computer Aided Designing
• CAA (CAE) Computer Aided Analysis
• CAM Computer Aided manufacturing
 There is a new addition of CAE stands for Computer Aided Engineering to improve
the previous one.
 CAE includes Analysis of the designed product before its manufacturing.

6. Challenges
 Stiff competition
 Tight Budget
 Design failures
 Manufacturing wastes
 Faster time to market
 Adherence to global standards

7. Current Trends
 Goodbye to 2D
 Design products; not modeling
 Better products, first time
 Less manufacturing wastes
 Global standardisation
 Fool proof data management system
