"Good for surface modelling"
What do you like best about CATIA?

CATIA V5 has a significantly steeper learning curve compared to more user-friendly CAD tools like SolidWorks or Inventor.

While file compatibility is generally acceptable with neutral formats like STEP or IGES, I have encountered difficulties when collaborating with others who use different CAD platforms. Nevertheless, integration within the Dassault ecosystem is smooth and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

CATIA V5 is a powerful, industry-leading tool, though it is not the easiest software to learn, implement, or integrate unless you have strong IT and training support. While it excels in large-scale engineering projects, it can be excessive for smaller companies.

In my experience, integrating CATIA V5 with other systems has not always been straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Catia is one of the most used CAD software in automotive industries, as an design engineer I can confirm you that learning catia can be most valuable asset if you are looking job in automotive sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

Catia doesn't have much drawbacks but none of the CAD software are 100 percent accurate, so I can state that there can be issue in some of the area like maintaining very less tolerance can be an issue apart from that interference can be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with CATIA"
What do you like best about CATIA?

My experience with CATIA was great. It automatically predict the behaviour of complex surfaces and allow modification where needed. And if we spend some time then it's UI is too simple to operate and plus point is we can modify the command button locations. It has good costomer support though. And main thing it is moderate in implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

The major thing it's UI design it's is simpler but feels very outdated as compared to latest softwares. Because of that it feels not that friendly because of that it takes time to get used to it. And major thing price also it is very difficult to afford for private use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
