Hello friends,
As you may know, SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, are both developped by Dassault Systèmes.
Each one has its values and its capabilities in the world of CAD Design.
Do you know Tim Ramos and his blog on goengineer.com ?
Tim Ramos developed CATIA skills in Surface Modeling and Sheet Metal Engineering at Honda, and finally Solidworks skills in his latest jobs.
Tim, in his latest article, list some capabilities where CATIA excels:
- Large Assemblies handling
- Surfacing
- Systems Engineering
- Composites
- Lattice Structure for Lightweight Engineering
Tell us what you think about his article in comments ?
A quick search into this community gaves me those videos/ webinars that will help you to go further in your understanding.
Large Assemblies handling
With CATIA, you can efficiently handle large assemblies and datasets.
You can watch this video from @JA
and this CATIA Talk
Surfacing
CATIA provides more inputs and variables to help build surface geometry
Watch this video from @FB
Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering solution from Dassault Systèmes delivers a unique, open and extensible development platform – a platform that fully integrates the cross-discipline modeling, simulation, verification and business process support needed for developing complex ‘cyber-physical’ products.

By the way, you can register to next one:
Composites
CATIA provides many design capabilities to develop composite parts:
- Creating the Composite Definition
- Probing the Design
- Checking the manufacturability
- Creating Engineering and Manufacturing Documentation
- Exporting Composite Definition for Reuse
- Flat Pattern Export for Laser Projection
I would recommand you this webinar:
Lattice structure for lightweighting
The lattice Designer role will enable the industrial usages and adoption of lattice structure in high performance parts, providing conceptual and detailed 3D Lattice modeling capacities seamlessly integrated with structural validation, and outputting 3D Printers and readable formats.
