How to get Catia software?

CATIA is software suite for computer-aided design. It provides computer-aided manufacturing & engineering, 3D modelling, and PLM (product lifecycle management), etc. Whereas Creo is a computer-aided design application supporting. It consists of apps, which delivers a varied set of capabilities for a user role within product development.

SolidWorks is a 3D modelling software, it has advanced tools, that includes simulation, drawing with the help of parts & assemblies, tools for rendering, etc. Whereas CATIA is a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software, i.e., it manages data with product development. It allows tracking development, computer-aided manufacturing, 3D modelling etc.

Yes, CATIA does not require learning AutoCAD, it is a fully parametric software. But by practicing AutoCAD you can clear the concept of 2D drawing & Drafting.

Yes, CATIA Mechanical Designer is a suite that manages the overall mechanical design processes for product designers, mechanical designers, and engineers. It will part design, assembly creation, 3D mock-up review, mechanism motion, drawing generation, etc.

CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application. CATIA uses C++programming language.
