Most of the components designed using CATIA are a combination of sketched features, placed features, and derived features. The placed features are created without drawing a sketch, whereas the sketched features require a sketch that defines the shape of the sketched feature.Generally, the base feature of any design is a sketched feature.

 Modeling techniques used to create and edit designs and feature-based solids are explored. Course topics include sketch-based features, dress up features, and patterns. art Design application will enable you to accommodate design requirements for parts of various complexities, from simple to advanced.

Assembly modeling is the process of creating designs that consist of two or more components assembled together at their respective work positions. The components are brought together  and assembled in Assembly Design workbench by applying suitable parametric assembly constraints to them. The assembly constraints allow you to restrict the degrees of freedom of components on their respective work positions.

The Generative Sheetmetal Design workbench is a new generation product offering an intuitive and flexible user interface. It provides an associative feature-based modeling, making it possible to design sheet metal parts in concurrent engineering between the unfolded or folded part representation.

CATIA – Generative Shape Design helps design mechanical shapes based on a combination of wireframe and multiple surface features. CATIA – Generative Shape Design  provides an extensive set of tools for creating and modifying mechanical surfaces used in the design of complex shapes or hybrid parts. GS1 brings smart tools, like power-copy to manage the feature reuse. Its feature-based approach offers a productive and intuitive design environment where design methodologies and specifications can be captured and reused.

FreeStyle Shaper is a powerful modeling tool used to dynamically design all types of surface elements, from the stylist’s drawing to the final surface, ready for the manufacturing processes.

Using this product you can generate free-form 3D curves and surfaces from scratch, and dynamically deform and analyze all produced elements.

You’ll learn how to create drawings and views, and add dimensions and annotations. You’ll also study geometry creation and modification, as well as dress-ups, borders, balloons, and customizations.
