Technologies have paved the way for engineers to develop robust models and understand their performance in real-time without creating the actual prototype. For generating 2D/3D CAD models, assembly and detailing many software are being used.
CATIA and SolidWorks are the two most popular tools adopted by top OEMs worldwide. Both are used in different stages of product design and development. Let us compare their features.
CATIA and SolidWorks are both 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software solutions used for product designing. Both are used for designing, simulating, analysing, and visualising CAD models..
Furthermore, these applications come with tools for creating 3D models, assemblies, and drawings. Additionally, both software packages offer parametric modelling, which allows engineers to modify the CAD models quickly and easily.
Some popular features of CATIA V5 are as follows:
Here are some actions that you may execute using SolidWorks:
Both CATIA and SolidWorks are products of Dassault Systèmes with different functionalities.
CATIA is widely utilised by the automotive and aerospace industries and mainly focuses on surface modelling. Whereas 3D part and assembly modelling is done using SolidWorks.
SolidWorks is known for its user-friendly UI. However, if you want to accomplish powerful fluid dynamics simulations which could determine risk factors, then CATIA should be the first choice.
The CATIA v5 license varies from $9000 - $65000 per person. For SOLIDWORKS you need to pay $3995 and $1295 annually for a licence.
CATIA does not have a trial version. It has been complimented by a web-based emulator called ‘3D Innovator’, where you can try CATIA risk-free for 30 days.
Upgrading to SolidWorks' fundamental features can be accomplished in two different ways.
SolidWorks has higher hardware requirements than CATIA while being generally more competent software. This is primarily because SolidWorks requires time (even up to a whole day) to perform rendering.
To learn their usage, you can enrol for courses at Skill-Lync. We provide you with a chance to work on industry-level projects using software tools to help you gain hands-on experience.
