The contents of the workshop were the basic concept of designing and how to use CATIA software.

The speaker told that design is a roadmap or a strategic approach for someone to achieve a unique expectation. Designing is a long process which starts from the recognition of need. It defines the specifications, plans, parameters, costs, activities, processes and how and what to do within legal, political, social, environmental, safety and economic constraints in achieving that objective.

CATIA goes far beyond traditional 3D CAD software tools to offer a unique Digital Product Experience, based on the 3D experience platform. Sustainable development is driving companies around the globe to create a constant stream of innovative and inspiring smart products. Engineering, Design, Systems  Architecture and Systems Engineering of these products becomes more demanding.

CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites, and molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. The software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing. It provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well as kinematics definition. CATIA provides a wide range of applications for tooling design, for both generic tooling and mold & die.

CATIA offers a solution to shape design, styling, surfacing workflow and visualization to create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes from industrial design to Class-A surfacing with the ICEM surfacing technologies. It also supports multiple stages of product design whether started from scratch or from 2D sketches. CATIA is able to read and produce STEP format files for reverse engineering and surface reuse. Students learned about the basic concept of designing and to design the machine parts in CATIA. 

All the participants found this workshop very much useful and beneficial. All the participants were awarded with certificates by (Prof.) Dr. Rajesh Goel, Director SGI.
