3. Some design methodologies
Beyond technical mastery of the platform, the methodological aspects of computer-aided design are of crucial importance to manufacturers. Indeed, it is these methodologies that may or may not lead to rich, robust models, enabling the CATIA platform to reach its full potential. Productivity gains will be all the greater if the model defined can adapt to modifications or requirements that arise during design iterations. Here are just a few examples of methodologies implemented with CATIA.
3.1 Design in context
The design problem is as follows: how can we design a part taking into account its environment (which we'll assume has already been defined, at least in part)? Let's take the example of figure 14...
