There are many differences between CATIA V4 and
CATIA V5. The fact that CATIA V5 now also runs on
a MS Windows platform instead of UNIX is one of
them. One of the advantages of this is that a lot
of the Windows funtionalities are also implemented
in CATIA V5 such as copy, paste, undo and redo. |
|
Another positive feature is that
in contrary to CATIA V4, CATIA V5 is able to assign
contraints and formulas to the geometry of solids
so that the design can be adjusted without having
to redraw the geometry from scratch. When applied
correctly this feature can save a lot of time in
the design process. |

The fact that these 2 CATIA versions
are very different can be seen as a problem. Companies
which have invested a lot of time and money to work
with V4 now need to learn to use the new version
which of course also is a huge investment while
the profit using this program isn't immediately
noticeable. This because of getting to know the
new workaround of this program takes time and effort. |

This is where GATE Aerospace offers an interactive
design workshop to speed up the learning progress
and to make the paticipant familiar with the basics
of CATIA V5. |
