CATIA V5R20 for Designers is a comprehensive textbook that introduces the users to CATIA V5R20, the feature-based 3D parametric solid modeling software. This textbook provides a simple and clear explanation of tools in widely used workbenches of CATIA. About 40 mechanical engineering industry examples are used as tutorials and an additional 25 as exercises to ensure that the users can relate their knowledge and understand the techniques used in the industry to design a product. After reading the textbook, the users will be able to create solid parts, assemblies, surface models, Sheetmetal components, different mechanisms, and drawing views with bill of materials. Also, the users will learn the editing techniques that are essential for making a successful design. Additionally, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the users. Written with the tutorial point-of-view and the learn-by-doing theme, the textbook is ideally suited for learning at your convenience and at your pace. Some of the Salient Features of this textbook are as follows: Consists of 16 chapters that are organized in a pedagogical sequence covering all important workbenches of CATIA V5R20 such as Sketcher, Part Design, Assembly Design, Drafting, Wireframe and Surface Design, Generative Sheetmetal Design, and DMU Kinematics The chapter on DMU Kinematics will enable the users to create various mechanisms The first page of every chapter summarizes the topics that are covered in it Real-world projects and examples are provided that focus on industry experience Step-by-step examples are provided to guide the users through the learning process Additional information is provided throughout the textbook in the form of tips and notes Self-Evaluation test, review questions, and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter so that the users can assess their knowledge Free Teaching and Learning ResourcesCADCIM Technologies provides the following free teaching and learning resources with this textbook: Technical support by contacting [email protected] Customizable PowerPoint Presentations of every chapter (For faculty only) Part files of all illustrations, examples, and exercises Instructor s Guide with solution to all review questions and instructions to create the models for exercises (For faculty only)
