scope:-

• Entry of multinational companies and growth of automobile industries worldwide.

• Companies prefer 3d model as their key input than a 2d drawing.

• Increasing in the number of engineering service providers like Infosys, TCS, Satyam, Wipro etc for international clients

Catia is CAD tool and can be used for different design stages. You can draw your concepts on it, modify them, simulate them, identify problems and finally detail them to go the production. Catia has different modules like Part design, Surface design, Assembly design, Composite Structure design, Sheet metal design etc. Definitely these are more than one requires. Mostly Catia is used in Aerospace and Automotive industry.Catia has good surface modelling module and hence is used emmensely wherever surface modelling is required.some eg:-

• Tool design modelling- making of tool design i.e die design for hot and cold forgings

• Aero design - surface modelling comes of use for making variety of aerodynamic structure.
