CATIA Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

It is very easy to use and to understand the features of this tool. Learning how to use it is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven't found anything to dislike. Up to this point, nothing has bothered me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have learnt more than three CAD software but I conclude that catia software is more accurate and precise, even if you want to start learning CAD than catia is best to start.

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.

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.

I enjoy the flexibility and the power that CATIA has when reviewing designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is pricey, and for casual users, it's too powerful to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Caria is a great tool designed by dassault systems. It has the capability of designing complex shapes that can not be defined by the general mathematical equations it has the capability to take the load of vast designs and also is a great tool for automotive industries as it has tools for ergonomics analysis.

It has some graphics error.

The graphical user interface is not so good. Also not having ease of use . Toolbar are complex to understand by the beginners, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Number of Option which helps detail designing of parts. Ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Surface modelling lot of inputs need to be given for commands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
