CATIA V4 - Week 1 - Introduction and Solids (5 days)
Duration	5 days
Objective	The student will learn about the CATIA interface and gain a thorough understanding of the interactions pertaining to basic 2D and 3D geometry. The focus of the course is to create and manipulate basic and 3D geometry. This class teaches you how to quickly design parts using the advanced solids capabilities of CATIA. The instructor will teach you optimal methods for designing with solids so you can make design changes quickly and easily. You will add draft to solids and be taught how to analyze solids for interference and mass properties.
