Semester -1

ModuleContents
IntroductionCATIA as a CAD software :- Concept of Parametric Modeling, Feature Based Modeling, User nterface,Mouse opertions, File types and Management, drawing profiles. Major user industries of Catia. Why Catia is preferred
SketcherSketcher: Profile toolbar, operation(corner, chamfer,relimitations, transformations, project 3D element), constriants, types of constraints, workbench.
Sketcher:- sketch tools, tools(Sketch sloving status, sketch analysis, output feature), visulization toolbar, user selection fillter.
Modeling of Machined component, Material Addition and Removal (Pad, Pocket, Shaft, Groove), Sketch and Positioned Sketch, Types of Fillets, Types of Chamfer, Types of Hole.
