0.0

CATIA V5R15 for Designers introduces the reader to CATIA V5R15, one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling package. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the user. This textbook consists of 13 chapters structured in a pedagogical sequence, covering the Part, Assembly, and Drafting workbenches of CATIA V5R15. Every chapter begins with a command section that provides detailed explanation of the commands and tools in CATIA V5R15. The command section is followed by tutorials that are created using these commands. This approach allows the user to use this textbook initially as a learning tool and then later use it as a reference material. Key Features Tutorial Approach: The author has adopted the tutorial point-of-view with learn-by-doing as the theme throughout the textbook. This approach guides users through the process of creating the models in the tutorials. Real-World Projects as Tutorials: The author has used about 50 real-world mechanical engineering projects as tutorials in this book. This enables the reader to relate the tutorials in this book to the real-world models in the mechanical engineering projects. Coverage of all Important Workbenches: Covers important workbenches of CATIA, including the Part, Assembl Design, Drafting and Wire frame and Surface Design workbenches. Tips and Notes: Additional Information is provided to the users in the form of tips and notes. Heavily Illustrated Text: The text in this book is heavily illustrated with about 1100 line diagrams and screen capture images. Learning Objectives: The first page of every chapter summarizes the topics that will be covered in that chapter. Command Section: Every chapter begins with the command section that provides the detailed explanation of CATIA V5R15 tools. Self-Evaluation Review Questions and Exercises: Every chapter-ends with a self-evaluation Test so that the users can assess their knowledge of the chapter. The answers of Self-Evaluation Test are given at the end of the chapter. Review Questions and Exercises are given at the end of the Chapter that can be used by the instructors as test questions and exercises.
