Course Objectives

Students will learn
• how to create simple parts, assemblies and drawings.
• how to use different feature-based tools to build, review and modify a model.
• how to create and analyze assemblies and how to produce a drawing with different views.
• learn how to dimension the drawing and annotate the views.

Learning Outcomes

• Students will be able to use CATIA for creation of 3D models, Assembly Designs and Drawings
