Why to learn AutoCAD
AutoCAD is the most preferred & is the optimum
choice for 2d drafting

Best drafting features

Basic tool for all engineering industry

In AutoCAD it is easy to work on 2d drawings only

Autocad User Interface
 CATIA
Computer Aided Three dimensional Interactive
application
Develop by Dassault systems , France.

Catia is PLM software package which have all required

tools, CAD CAM CAE, Ergonomics, Computational
fluid dynamics.
CATIA is used..
For 3d modeling
Detailed modeling and
 simulation

Why to learn CATIA
Best surface designing software
Majority of automobiles companies
Preferred for sheet metal or surface work
It got different modules customized to industries like
mold manufacturing, aerospace, Aviation purpose.
Catia is better for complex curved surfaces and is used
extensively and exclusively in the aerospace and
automobile industries
CATIA user interface
Solidworks
Originally develop by the solid works corporation usa
& was acquired by Dassaults System, France in 1997
Main focus of solidworks was to make the tools more
intuitive and user-friendly
Feature based parametric solid modeling mechanical
design & automation software
Primarily a 3d modeling tool
Generate 2d drawing views
3d printing
Solidworks is used…
By ENGINEERS,
To innovate their ideas and implements them in the
form of :
virtual prototypes or solid models
Sheet metal components
Surfaces
Large Assemblies and Subassemblies
Detailing and drawing
Why to learn Solidworks
Fastest growing software modeling software
Much easier interface and has quicker tools
simple and user-friendly
Used in automotive industries where there is
manufacturing of mechanical parts
More popular for assemblies
Easiest and fastest
Solidworks user Interface
Ansys
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
finite element analysis software
CAE Simulation Software for Product design, testing
& Operation
1970 by John Swanson
Simulate models of structures, electronics, or machine
components for analyzing strength toughness,
elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism,
fluid flow and other attributes
Ansys
Implemention of the finite element method

Simulate a lot of mechanical phenomena, civil,

automotive aerospace

One needs to design and validate that design for the

real world

Optimization of the model
