We are bringing the Air One eVTOL to life in Catia. Part A & B is already out Join the learning journey today!
This is a must course for engineers who wish to take their design skills to the next level.
Course Description:
CATIA V5 remains one of the most widely used CAD platforms across aerospace, automotive, industrial design, and advanced manufacturing industries. Its strength lies in its ability to handle complex geometry, support end to end product development, and integrate design with engineering analysis and production workflows.
This course presents a structured, project-based approach to mastering 3D CAD design using CATIA V5. The central project focuses on developing the exterior geometry of an Air One eVTOL aircraft, including the fuselage, wing, empennage, and rotor system, along with simplified interior representations such as seats and a console.
The course is divided into four parts:
Part A: Advanced Freestyle Surface Modelling (Class A Surfaces) using Imagine & Shape WB.
Part B: Advanced Parametric and Hybrid Surface Design (Class B Surfaces) using Generative Shape Design.
Part C: Advanced Part and Assembly Design (Solid Modelling)
Part D: Rendering and Simulations
Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on building geometry of high complexity while maintaining design intent and engineering relevance. The resulting models can be applied in visualization, simulation workflows, presentations, manufacturing preparation, and research contexts.
The course is designed for students and professionals in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, industrial design, and manufacturing. It is suitable for both beginners and users with prior experience in CATIA V5. However, a basic understanding of the CATIA working environment is recommended to follow the workflow effectively.
Learners will develop practical skills aligned with real world product development methodologies. These include surface modelling strategies, parametric control, assembly structuring, and preparation of digital models for downstream applications such as digital twin development and engineering simulations. The course also highlights how designers make informed decisions by considering geometry, material behavior, manufacturing processes, and applicable standards.
In addition to technical instruction, guidance is provided on improving design thinking and workflow efficiency. The goal is to help learners build not only software proficiency but also the ability to approach complex design challenges with clarity and structure.
