INTRODUCTION CATIA v5
CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is a multiplatform
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, 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
modeling. 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.

HISTORY OF CATIA V5:

CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Anions

Marcel Dassault, at that time customer of the CADAM CAD software.
Initially named CATI (Conception Assisted Tri dimensional Interactive — French for
Interactive Aided Three-dimensional Design ) — it was renamed CATIA in 1981, when
Dassault created a subsidiary to develop and sell the software, and signed a non-exclusive
distribution agreement with IBM.[2]
In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its largest
customer.In 1988, CATIA version 3 was ported from mainframe computers to UNIX.

In 1990, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, to
design the U.S. Navy's Virginia class submarine.
In 1992, CADAM was purchased from IBM and the next year CATIA CADAM V4 was
published. In 1996, it was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM
AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX.
In 1998, an entirely rewritten version of CATIA, CATIA V5 was released, with
support for UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP since 2001.In 2008, Dassault announced
and released CATIA V6. While the server can run on Microsoft Windows, Linux or AIX,
client support for any operating system other than Microsoft Windows is dropped.

INDUSTRIES USING CATIA

CATIA is widely used throughout the engineering industry, especially in the automotive and
aerospace sectors.

AEROSPACE
The Boeing Company used CATIA V3 to develop its 777 airliner, and is currently using
CATIA V5 for the 787 series aircraft. They have employed the full range of Dassault
Systems' 3D PLM products — CATIA, DELMIA, and ENOVIA LCA — supplemented by
Boeing developed applications. Chinese Xian JH-7A is the first aircraft developed by
CATIA V5, when the design was completed on September 26, 2000.European aerospace
giant Airbus has been using CATIA since 2001.Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier
Aerospace has done all of its aircraft design on CATIA. The Brazilian aircraft company,
EMBRAER, use Catia V4 and V5 to build all airplanes .Vought Aircraft Industries use
CATIA V4 and V5 to produce its parts .The British Helicopter company, Westland‘s, use
CATIA V4 and V5 to produce all their aircraft. Westland‘s is now part of an Italian company
called Finmeccanica the joined company calls themselves Augusta Westland .The main
supplier of helicopters to the U.S Military forces, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., uses CATIA as
well.

AUTOMOTIVE
Many automotive companies use CATIA to varying degrees, including BMW, Porsche,
Daimler AG, Chrysler, Audi,[11] Volkswagen, Bentley Motors Limited, Volvo, Fiat, Benteler
AG, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault, Toyota, Ford, Scania, Hyundai, Skoda Auto, Tesla
Motors, Proton, Tata motors and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, [[MLR motors,
Hyderabad][International cars & motors ltd(Somalia group0,http://www.icml.co.in].
Goodyear uses it in making tires for automotive and aerospace and also uses a customized
CATIA for its design and development. Many automotive companies use CATIA for car
structures — door beams, IP supports, bumper beams, roof rails, side rails, body components
— because CATIA is very good in surface creation and Computer representation of surfaces.

SHIPBUILDING
Dassault Systems has begun serving shipbuilders with CATIA V5 release 8, which includes
special features useful to shipbuilders. GD Electric Boat used CATIA to design the latest fast
attack submarine class for the United States Navy, the Virginia class. Northrop Grumman

Newport News also used CATIA to design the Gerald R. Ford class of super carriers for the
US Navy.

OTHER
Architect Gerry has used the software, through the C-Cubed Virtual Architecture company,
now Virtual Build Team, to design his award-winning curvilinear buildings. His technology
arm, Gerry Technologies, has been developing software based on CATIA V5 named Digital
Project. Digital Project has been used to design buildings and has successfully completed a
handful of projects.

MODELING:

1. THREE DIMENSIONAL DESIGN AND SOLID MODELING

There are two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAD systems. In two-dimensional system
the graphics screen is used as a substitute for drawing paper. All drawings are produced only
in one plane without any depth. Most of the larger CAD systems have an ability to model in
three dimensions .The spatial image of the object is drawn in a pictorial projection using x-y-
z co-ordinate geometry and is stored in the memory .It can be recalled and redrawn in 3-D
pictorial projection or in orthographic projection representing the image of the object in a
number of2-D views, i.e. the front, end, plan and auxiliary views.

2. GEOMETRICAL MODELING
Geometrical modeling is a general term applied to three-dimensional computer-aided design
techniques .There are three main types of geometrical modeling used, namely: line or
wireframe modeling, surface modeling and solid modeling. Each have their own particular
applications in the design of engineering components which is dependent on the ability of the
method to model certain geometric structure s effectively and generate the correct data for
analysis. The usefulness of the model in the design process depends on whether it saline,
surface or solid model orinfactanycombinationofthe three. Each method has its own
capabilities in allowing the designer to visualize and analyses the model but all should
interface to 2Ddraughtingsothat a working engineering drawing of a 3Dmodel can be
generated. A wire frame representation is a 3-D line drawing of an object showing only the
edges without any side surface in between .The image of the object, as the name applies has
the appearance of aframecon strutted from thin wires representing the edges and projected
lines and curves if required, as shown 6.1(a). The main disadvantage of this wire frame
representation is that the hidden detail lines are shown and the
3-D solid modeling Some CAD systems are capable of producing the complete solid models
of the objects in color, displaying full surfaces with the light, highlights and shadows, thus
accomplishing very realistic images (Figure6.1(b)).

Surface modeling is more sophisticated than wire frame representation, but is cheaper to run
than solid modeling. Initially the wire frame is created and the gaps between all individual
frames are then filled inflator rounded surfaces. This model cane easily modified and color
shaded, if required.

3. THREEDIMENSIONAL (3-D) MODELLING

One application of a three-dimensional model is in the generation of an engineering drawing
by arranging multiple views of the model on a used on the drawing sheet and then
annotating these views with dimensions, labels and notes. If the underlying 3D model is of
the solid or surface type, then automatic hidden-line removal scale may be views. Figure 6.2
shows an example of a wire-frame model and the arrangement of views of this model on a
drawing sheet. The approach ensures consistency in the geometry between the view sofa
drawing, but it may be seen that interpretation is not entirely straight forward.
.Wire-frame, surface and solid representation so fox
The methods that have been developed for three-dimensional modeling involve the
representation of geometry as a collection of lines and other curves, or of surfaces, or of
solids in space. These methods will be considered in turn below, but first it is appropriate to
explain some terminologies. It has been seen that drawings are constructed in a two-
dimensional coordinate system. Three-dimensional (3D) models are constructed in 3D space -
typically in a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. There will normally be affixed
coordinate system which is used for the overall definition of the model — we will call this
the global coordinate system (OCS) - and, in addition, a movable world ordinate system
(WCS) may be used to assist in the construction of the model.

4. THE RIGHT-HAND RULE

The right-hand rule provides an easy-to-understand reference to determine the positive and
negative directions of the X, Y, and Z axes. Knowing how to use this simple reference makes
it easier to visual zither relationships of the X,Y, and Z axes in 3D space. Figure 6.4(a) shows
the first point of the right-hand rule. Hold your right hand so your thumb points in the
positive direction of the X axis and your index finger points in the positive direction of the Y
axis. When you are using the default WCS, the back of your hand is toward the screen, your
thumb points right and your index finger points up. Now, extending your middle finger as

shown in Figure 6.4(b) shows you the positive direction of the Z axis. In the WCS, the
positive direction of the Z axis is toward you. This method still works when you are using a
UCS; rotate your hand appropriately to match the setting of the UCS.

5. THREE DIMENSIONAL POLAR CO ORDINATE ENTRY

CADD software also provides similar options for working in a 3D drawing environment.
There are two variations of the polar coordinate entry system that provide much greater
flexibility when en tiring
3Dpointcoordinates.Thesevariationsarecalledcylindricalcoordinatesandsphericalcoordinates.
Cylindrical coordinates are a simple variation of polar coordinate entry that use a standard
polar co or -donate entry followed bay Z-axis value

6. LINE OR WIRE FRAME MODELLING

Line modeling or, as it is often called, wire frame modeling is the simplest form of
geometrical representation of an object. Two-dimensional is in fact a form of line modeling,
the major difference being that point information is stored as three coordinate values and the
definition of circles and arcs may specify a plane of orientation. As with 2D a component is
stored in the computer as a series of geometric entities which simply represent the
boundaries, edges or vertices of the component model. Figure 6.6(a) is a wireframe model of
a simple component and at first glance it is not easy to determine the shape of the object as no
hidden lines have been removed.

7. SURFACEMODELING
Surface models define the surface features, as well as the edges, of objects. Different types of
splinecurvesareusedtocreatesurfacepatcheswithdifferentmodelingcharacteristics.Forexample,
the advantage of Bezier surface patches is that they are easy-to-sculpt natural surfaces. The

control points are an intuitive tool with which the user can work. In contrast, B-spline patches
allow local control; moving one control point does not affect the whole surface.
(a) Bezier surface (b) Biplane surface Figure 6.7. Bezier and B-spline
surfaces With B-splines, it is much easier to create surfaces through predefined points or
curves. NURBS surfaces use rational B-splines, which include a weighting value at each
point on the surface. The weighting value allows some points to have more influence over the
shape of the curve than other points .This means that a

wider variety of curved surfaces are possible than with regular B-splines. Because NURBS
surfaces can also precisely describe conic surfaces, they are gaining popularity in many tasks
previously handled by other types of 3-D modelers.

8. SOLIDMODELLING
The representation of objects as solid models has been the subject of much research over the
last twenty years or so, and continues to be a major theme for study, as the objectives have by
no means been achieved .It may be seen, however, that it is an dimensional‘ entities (curves)
or ‗two-dimensional‘ entities (surfaces), to try to model shape using three-dimensional solids.
Such programs are known as solid modelers or volume modelers and can hold complete un
ambiguous representations of the geometry of a wide range of solid objects. The
completeness of the information contained in a solid model allows the automatic production
of realistic images of a shape and automation of the process of interference checking. Finally,
new applications programs may be written which exploit the completeness of the solid model
to decrease or eliminate the necessity for user intervention in design, analysis (such as finite
element analysis) or manufacturing tasks (such as the generation of instructions for
numerically-controlled machining).

Solid modeling takes the designer into areas of still greater realism than that of surface or line
modeling .As well as the object‘s surfaces being mathematically represented the solid mass
between the surfaces is also defined. There are two types of solid modeling methods used in
modern CAD systems: boundary representation (B-Rep) and construction solids geometry
(CSG). With the B-Rep method a shape or profile is defined and then either a solid of
revolution is produced about a given axis or the shape is extruded in a given direction.
Construction solids geometry modelers provide a range of solid
primitivessuchasspheres,cylinders,cuboids,wedges,etc.,whichcanbedefinedatanysize,positiona
