The application also helps coordinators import 3D models in industry-standard file formats, review designs for geometric issues, and geolocate construction and infrastructure projects. CAD Viewers and translators for CATIA V4, CATIA V5, CATIA V6 3DEXPERIENCE, Parasolid, IGES, Inventor, Autodesk Design Review, JT, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, RHINO. Using CATIA, fluid engineers can build and optimize designs for rigid or flexible tubing, piping, and HVAC systems. It enables electrical engineers to design wire harnesses and cabling, check design quality, and synchronize electrical design elements into 3D forms. CATIA allows construction professionals to modify and validate projects based on planning specifications or client requirements and perform daylighting simulation and shadow duration analysis. P1 has a basic coverage of the functionals. Hi, I would like to explain you the difference between P1 & P2 in simplicity. Thats for the business folk ) RE: P1, P2, P3 sugoku88 (Computer) 28 Apr 05 05:39. Engineers can automate the designing of building components using custom or generic templates. Unless you are in charge of buying/licencing CATIA, dont worry about the platform levels. It also covers all the major commands and techniques and provides the reader with all of the details to learn the basics with a clear method of instruction. The application includes a 3D pattern shape creator tool, which lets system architects prepare, discover, and validate a variety of repetitive or non-regular shapes to be used for projects. CATIA V6 Essentials includes all the major concepts related to the latest version of CATIA, such as installation, modes, and modeling in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step format. Features include team collaboration, simulation, visual scripting, and real-time concurrent designing. CATIA is a cloud-based and on-premise product modeling software, which helps businesses across various industry verticals, such as architecture, aviation, consumer packaged goods, transportation, and construction, design, build, and visualize 3D models.
