3.1 INTRODUCTION:
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is a multi-platform
CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by The French company Dassault Systems
and marketed worldwide by IBM. Written in the C++ programming language, CATIA is the
cornerstone of the Dassault Systems product lifecycle management software suite. Through its
exceptionally easy to use state of the art user interface, CATIA delivers innovative technologies for
maximum productivity and creativity, from concept to the final product. CATIA reduces the learning
curve, as it allows the flexibility of using feature based and parametric designs.

CATIA provides three basic platforms: P1, P2, and P3. P1 is for small and medium sized process-
oriented companies that wish to grow the large-scale digitized product definition. P2 is for advanced
design engineering companies that require product, process and resources modelling. P3 is for high
end design application and it is basically for Automotive and Aerospace industry, where high quality
surfacing or Class-A surfacing is used for designing.

BRIEF HISTORY OF CAD/CAM DEVELOPMENT:

The roots of current CAD/CAM technologies go back to the beginning of civilization when engineers
in ancient Egypt recognized graphics communication. Orthographic projection practiced today was
invented around the 1800s. The real development of CAD/CAM systems started in the 1950s.
CAD/CAM went through four major phases of development in the last century. The 1950s was known
as the era of interactive computer graphics.

MIT‟s Servo Mechanisms Laboratory demonstrated the concept of numerical control (NC) on a three-
axis milling machine. Development in this era was slowed down by the shortcomings of computers
at the time. During the late 1950s the development of Automatically Programmed Tools (APT) began
and General Motors explored the potential of interactive graphics. The 1960s was the most critical
research period for interactive computer graphics. Ivan Sutherland developed a sketchpad system,
which demonstrated the possibility of creating drawings and altercations of objects interactively on a
cathode ray tube (CRT). The term CAD started to appear with the word „design‟ extending beyond
basic drafting concepts. General Motors announced their DAC-1 system and Bell Technologies
introduced the GRAPHIC 1 remote display system.

During the 1970s, the research efforts of the previous decade in computer graphics had begun to be
fruitful, and potential of interactive computer graphics in improving productivity was realized by
industry, government and academia. The 1970s is characterized as the golden era for computer
drafting and the beginning of ad hoc instrumental design applications. National Computer Graphics
Association (NCGA) was formed and Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) was initiated.

In the 1980s, new theories and algorithms evolved and integration of various elements of design and
manufacturing was developed. The major research and development focus was to expand CAD/CAM
systems beyond three-dimensional geometric designs and provide more engineering applications.

The present-day CAD/CAM development focuses on efficient and fast integration and automation
of various elements of design and manufacturing along with the development of new algorithms.
There are many commercial CAD/CAM packages available for direct usages that are user-friendly
and very proficient.

Below are some of the commercial packages in the present market.

➢ Solid Edge, AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop are some low-end CAD software systems, which
are mainly used for 2D modelling and drawing.
➢ NX, Pro-E, CATIA and I-DEAS are high-end modelling and designing software systems that are
costlier but more powerful. These software systems also have computer aided manufacturing and
engineering analysis capabilities.
➢ ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, and COMSOL are packages mainly used for analysis of
structures and fluids. Different software is used for different proposes.
➢ Geomatic and Collab CAD are some of the systems that focus on collaborative design, enabling
multiple users of the software to collaborate on computer-aided design over the Internet.

3.2 TOOLS DEFINITION OF CAD/CAM/CAE:

Following are the definitions of some of the terms used in this tutorial.

Computer Aided Design – CAD:

CAD is technology concerned with using computer systems to assist in the creation, modification,
analysis, and optimization of a design. Any computer program that embodies computer graphics and
an application program facilitating engineering functions in design process can be classified as CAD
software. The most basic role of CAD is to define the geometry of design – a mechanical part, a
product assembly, an architectural structure, an electronic circuit, a building layout, etc. The greatest
benefits of CAD systems are that they can save considerable time and reduce errors caused by
otherwise having to redefine the geometry of the design from scratch every time it is needed.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, SCE Bengaluru Page | 7

Internship on “CATIA V5”

Computer Aided Manufacturing – CAM

CAM technology involves computer systems that plan, manage, and control the manufacturing
operations through computer interface with the plant’s production resources. One of the most
important areas of CAM is numerical control (NC). This is the technique of using programmed
instructions to control a machine tool, which cuts, mills, grinds, punches or turns raw stock into a
finished part. Another significant CAM function is in the programming of robots. Process planning
is also a target of computer automation.

Computer Aided Engineering – CAE

CAE technology uses a computer system to analyse the functions of a CAD-created product,
allowing designers to simulate and study how the product will behave so that the design can be refined
and optimized.

CAE tools are available for a number of different types of analyses. For example, kinematic analysis
programs can be used to determine motion paths and linkage velocities in mechanisms. Dynamic
analysis programs can be used to determine loads and displacements in complex. Includes the “Catia
V5” essentials from starting a session to getting familiar with the “Catia V5” layout by practicing
basic functions such as Print, Save, and Exit. It also gives a brief description of the Coordinate
System, Layers, various toolboxes and other important commands, which will be used in later
chapters.

Presents the concept of sketching. It describes how to create sketches and to give geometric and
dimensional constraints. This chapter is very important since present-day components are very
complex in geometry and difficult to model with only basic features. The actual designing and
modelling of parts begin with. It describes different features such as reference features, swept features
and primitive features and how these features are used to create designs. Various kinds of feature
operations are performed on features.

Internship on “CATIA V5”

In this chapter, we demonstrate how to create a drawing by adding views, dimensioning the part
drawings, and modifying various attributes in the drawing such as text size, arrow size and tolerance.
The main Catia V5 Screen will open. This is the Gateway for the Catia V5 software. The Catia V5
blank screen looks like the figure shown below

FIGURE 2:CATIA V5 MAIN SCREEN

There will be several tips displayed on the screen about the special features of the current version.
The Gateway also has the Standard Toolbar that will allow you to create a new file or open an existing
file. On the left side of the Gateway screen, there is a toolbar called the Resource Bar that has menus
related to different modules and the ability to define and change the Role of the software, view History
of the software use and so on. This will be explained in detail later in this chapter.

3.4 3D MODELING:
This chapter discusses the basics of three-dimensional modelling in Catia V5. We will discuss what
a feature is, what the different types of features are, what primitives are and how to model features in
Catia V5 using primitives. This will give a head start to the modelling portion of Catia V5 and develop
an understanding of the use of Form Features for modelling. Once these features are introduced, we
will focus on Feature Operations which are functions that can be applied to the faces and edges of a
solid body or features you have created. These include taper, edge blend, face blend, chamfer, trim,
etc. After explaining the feature operations, the chapter will walk you through some examples.

In Catia V5, Features are a class of objects that have a defined parent. Features are associatively
defined by one or more parents and the order of their creation and modification retain within the
model, thus capturing it through the History. Parents can be geometrical objects or numerical
variables. Features include primitives, surfaces and/or solids and certain wire frame objects (such as
curves and associative trim and bridge curves). For example, some common features include blocks,
cylinders, cones, spheres, extruded bodies, and revolved bodies.

Commonly Features can be classified as following,

➢ Body: A class of objects containing solids and sheets.

➢ Solid Body: A collection of faces and edges that enclose a volume.
➢ Sheet Body: A collection of one or more faces that do not enclose a volume.
➢ Face: A region on the outside of a body enclosed by edges.

TYPES OF FEATURES:
There are six types of Form Features:
➢ Primitives
➢ Reference features
➢ swept features
➢ Remove features
➢ Extract features
➢ User-defined features
Similar to previous versions, Catia V5 stores all the Form Features under the Insert menu option. The
form features are also available in the Form Features Toolbar.

3.4.1 SINGLE CYLINDER HORIZONTAL MILL ENGINE

Stationary steam engines are fixed steam engines used for pumping or driving mills and factories,
and for power generation. They are distinct from locomotive engines used on railways, traction
engines for heavy steam haulage on roads, steam cars (and other motor vehicles), agricultural
engines used for ploughing or threshing, marine engines, and the steam turbines used as the
mechanism of power generation for most nuclear power plants.

They were introduced during the 18th century and widely made for the whole of the 19th century and
most of the first half of the 20th century, only declining as electricity supply and the internal
combustion engine became more widespread. The valve in this model of a typical mid-19th century
engine cuts off the steam to the cylinder at a fixed point in the stroke, resulting in relatively poor
efficiency. Speed could only be regulated by throttling the main steam supply. A single eccentric
drove the steam valve. The valve was a simple, D-type slide valve. The valve casing and cylinder are
sectioned to allow visualization of the mechanisms.

Model is stored in a rectangular wooden case (DW0332b). Model is mounted on a raised rectangular
metal platform screwed onto the top plane of a raised wooden platform with stepped rim. Model of a
single cylinder horizontal base mill engine. The model contains a brass mounted mahogany barrel
pressure cylinder; lubricator and drain cocks; a valve gear that incorporates slip eccentric reversing
and lever operated lift-off type push rod; an eccentric-driven buccal pump with bleeding valve and
pressure safety valve; and a 4.5" diameter belt pulley wheel fitted on the shaft inside the fly wheel.

3.5 ASSEMBLY CATIA:

Assembly Design 1 (AS1) is a P1 product for managing assemblies in a highly productive way. It
gives the user the ability to design in assembly context with a user-control associativity, to perform
concurrent engineering between the design of the assembly and the design of individual components
through a hierarchical assembly using a top-down or bottom-up approach. Assembly Design 1
establishes mechanical assembly constraints using mouse movements or graphical commands to
easily and intuitively snap parts into position.

3.6 DRAFTING
The Catia V5 Drafting application lets you create drawings, views, geometry, dimensions, and
drafting annotations necessary for the completion as well as understanding of an industrial drawing.
The goal of this chapter is to give the designer/draftsman enough knowledge of drafting tools to create
a basic drawing of their design. The drafting application supports the drafting of engineering models
in accordance with ANSI standards. After explaining the basics of the drafting application, we will
go through a step-by-step approach for drafting some of the models created earlier.
