3D Design with Catia V5 Advanced Level

Objectives: to strengthen the skills in 3D/2D design, using the Part Design / Assembly Design (3D) and Drafting (2D) modules, of CATIA V5 users.

Target audience: Design engineers with an intermediate level in using CATIA V5 software.

People with technical skills who want to develop these skills by acquiring new design methods and a structured working style.

Duration: 4 days (8 hours, with all breaks included).
