CATIA
CATIA is a multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by the French Company Dassault Systèmes directed by Bernard Charlès. The software has been used for designing of Boeing 777 airlines and its Version 5 for Boeing 787 airplane series. Apart from aerospace, the software is widely used in automotive industries and companies like BMW, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Tata and Mahindra have been extensively using its advanced capabilities for surface designing. The platform is also familiar which Shipbuilding design engineers and is a complete package for CAD design engineers who wish to excel in their respective fields.

CATIA lets users to design shapes and reach high levels of surface sophistication with its 3D sketching, visualizatoin features. With CATIA product developers can take an integrated systems engineering approach. They can do requirements engineering, systems architecture definition, detailed modeling and simulation to manage the complex development process.
The statistics of the industry clearly reflects the job opportunities and the industry demands. It has been observed:
- CATIA is used as the Global standard for the aircraft design as almost 80% of the aircraft companies use CATIA in designing the aircraft.
- 60% of the automotive companies implement the use of CATIA in designing the innovative components of the car.
- Around 60-70% of the helicopter/civilian/commercial plane companies inhibit the use of CATIA.
- It is used by designers, architects, manufacturing entities and industrial engineers, so the job opportunities are immense.
- You will learn advanced solutions for conceptual design, 3D modeling, and documentation.
- You will learn to do product design, industrial design and styling (optimize form, fit, function and user experience), streamline 2D design, drafting, documentation with powerful tools for layout, drawing, and 3D annotation You will do assembly design, sheet metal design, and template based design
