The main workbenches in CATIA are Part Design, Assembly Design and Sketcher under Mechanical Design category. Workbenches allows users to perform the specific design task in a particular area. Workbench is a specified environment consisting of set of tools. At first you need to customize the workbenches that you are going to use.

CATIA is also used for surfacing, sheet metal, manufacturing, CNC programming, and other applications in various industries (product development, industrial equipment, ship building, etc.). Gehry Technologies (by Frank Gehry) developed its software Digital Project based on the CATIA technology. It provides all necessary tools to design, analyze, visualize, and manufacture a product.ĬATIA software was initially developed for aerospace and automotive industries and later it found its application in the AEC industry. CATIA makes it easier to develop a product from early concept to final visual experiences. CAD allows 2D and 3D designs, CAM allows you to simulate manufacturing processes, and CAE allows verification through analysis of the 3D models. CATIA was developed by Dassault Systems as a single platform software for CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), CAE (computer-aided engineering), PLM (product lifecycle management) and 3D modeling. CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application. CATIA is a CAD/CAM/CAE software package primarily used for parametric modeling and irregular shaped surface designs across industries.
