The Version 5 Part Design application makes it possible to design precise 3D mechanical parts with an intuitive and flexible user interface, from sketching in an assembly context to iterative detailed design. Version 5 Part Design application will enable you to accommodate design requirements for parts of various complexities, from simple to advanced.
This application, which combines the power of feature-based design with the flexibility of a Boolean approach, offers a highly productive and intuitive design environment with multiple design methodologies, such as post-design and local 3D parameterization.
As a scalable product, Part Design can be used in cooperation with other current or future companion products such as Assembly Design and Generative Drafting. The widest application portfolio in the industry is also accessible through interoperability with CATIA Solutions Version 4 to enable support of the full product development process from initial concept to product in operation.
The Part Design User's Guide has been designed to show you how to create a part. There are several ways of creating a part and this book aims at illustrating the several stages of creation you may encounter.
