V5 Foundation - 4 days

This course provides trainees who are new to CATIA V5 with a thorough grounding in using this software. The course deals with the interface and a complete range of solid modelling functions (thereby obviating the need for a specific solid training course). Drafting is covered towards the end of the course, thereby enabling trainees to return to the workplace with a sufficiently rounded knowledge to start using CATIA within their workplace.

Skills: Introduction to the sketcher, and solid modelling using feature based methodology. CATPart manipulation and editing. Drawing layout, manipulation of views, hidden line removal, sectioning, detailing, annotation and crosshatching. Introduction to the Assembly Design Workbench.
Course meets all the needs for Airbus Certification (Foundation).

Pre-requisites: None
