Default 3D models in Catia..V5

Hi all,

I have just joined the training program for Catia, hope to learn some 3D model construction. Actually i wanted to learn Solidworks but the institute dose not teach that software so i am learning Catia,

any other suggestions is it possible to create 2D drawing for laser cutting on a Catia software.

Yes... generally speaking... laser cutters and Waterjet cutters prefer DXF files... and Catia will produce that.....

I really love Catia... great program!! I'm using it since I joined Aeronautical Engineering University in Madrid. Here you have a photo of the foamy I desinged with Catia. You can make the 2D plans of the parts with Catia, convert it to DXF format, and have it cut with a CNC machine.

Catia, Pro-E, Unigraphics..... it can take years to become a super-user....

I have prolly 12000 hours of Pro/E and I am still learning... they are constantly adding to the software....

Catia is a perfekt tool to generate what you are looking for. With some basic knowledge in surface and solid-modelling you can make nice airplanes in an astonishing speed and with almost endless scalability due to Catias very powerful way of handeling parametric inputs. Some time ago I designed this airplane using Catia. Unfortunately I did never had the time to built it...
