What is Catia to me?
Catia V5 is the most powerful CADD program that I have seen. It is fairly easy to learn, and with experience, to become an advance user. I enjoy using Catia V5, and some of the advanced applications. The Kinematics application in the Digital Mockup module is the most interesting to me. There are many more useful applications in Catia V5 like: Sheet Metal, Generative Stress, Knowledgeware, and NC.
