WHAT IS CATIA?

CATIA is the abbreviation for Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application is CAD software which was developed by Dassault Systemes and technically supported worldwide by IBM. It is one of the most powerful Knowledge based and widely used software of its kind in the world. CATIA is written in C++ programming language and is the basis of the Dassault Systems product lifecycle management (PLM) software suite.

WHERE IS CATIA USED?

CATIA is being used by designers, manufacturing facilities, assemblers, architects, industrial engineers etc. The most regular CATIA users are generally Aerospace,Electronics, Appliances, Architecture, Consumer Goods,Mold and Die,Automotive, Construction, Medical, Furniture, Machinery, and Shipbuilding industries. CATIA has also played a major role in NASA's design of the various Space equipment’s.

WHAT ARE THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES

With more and more companies adopting CATIA as their primary CAD system, the demand for designers with CATIA knowledge is on the rise. Some of the top companies using this software are: BMW, Honda, Audi, Hyundai, TATA Motors, Nikon, Nokia, Procter & Gamble (P&G), and Renault.

PROJECT BASED TRAINING IN CATIA

To take advantage of the ever increasing job opportunities in CATIA, you need to join Catia Training which will help you in clearing your basics. There are many reputed companies which provide live project training in CATIA and other domains of Mechanical and Civil. You can join any project based CATIA Training for 4 weeks- 6 weeks to get an in-depth detail of the technology in which you will work on the live project under the guidance of expert trainers. These companies have well devised labs equipped with all the facilities, essential software and excellent infrastructure.
