Use the Trim function instead of Split whenever possible. Trim allows you to cut two intersecting surfaces simultaneously and stitch them together in a single operation, keeping the specification tree clean.
This diverse selection ensures learners can apply techniques from mechanical components to aesthetic industrial design.

| | Title | Core Topics Covered | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Introduction | Fundamentals of CAD in product development, overview of CATIA workbenches | | 2 | Working Environment | Detailed guide to the CATIA interface, specification tree, compass, and toolbars | | 3 | Hybrid 3D Modelling of Parts | The central pillar of the book. Over 24 detailed tutorials on creating complex parts using a mix of solid and surface features. A highlight for "patched" surfaces. | | 4 | Parametric Modelling & Sheetmetal | Deep dive into knowledge-based design, formulas, and design tables. Includes dedicated coverage of sheetmetal part creation. | | 5 | Programming, Automation & Scripting | Introduces the use of VBScripting and Python to automate repetitive tasks, create macros, and enhance CATIA's capabilities. | | 6 | Knowledge Assessment & 2D Drawings | A self-assessment section with questions, solutions, and numerous 2D drawings to be used as blueprints for 3D modeling. |
Never begin modeling a complex part directly from the default absolute axis system. Instead, establish a dedicated Geometrical Set to act as your layout skeleton. Use the Trim function instead of Split whenever possible
