The document provides an introduction to the CATIA software suite and certification program. It discusses key CATIA modules like Sketcher, Part Design, and Assembly. It also outlines the methodology and topics covered for the CATIA V5 Part Design certification exam, which lasts 105 minutes and is targeted towards CATIA users. Obtaining CATIA certification demonstrates hands-on experience with the software and validation of skills in areas like modeling techniques.
2. Introduction
• The CATIA suite is a powerful design tool that is growing in popularity due to the
powerful functionality it offers. Since the software is vast, it is better to get
professional training in CATIA to make maximum use of its features.

3. Introduction
• Catia is also known as computer aided three-dimensional interactive application.
CATIA was started in 1977 by French Aircraft Manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault
System.
• It is also used in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and other industries.

4. The Specification Tree
• Provides access to the history of how a part was constructed, and shows the
product structure
• Parts can be modified by selecting them from the spec. tree.

• Sketcher
• Part Design
• Wireframe and Surface Design
• Sheet Metal Design
• Assembly
• Drafting
7. Methodology
Required Product: for the CATIA V5 Part
Design exam Duration: 105 minutes
Targeted audience: CATIA users
1
The effort focused on determining the
envelope of environmental conditions and flow
conditions at which the flow in the radiator
would approach "stall" or near-freezing
situations.
2
The FLUENT code was used to perform
conjugate heat-transfer computations for a
single radiator panel with a face-sheet and
upstream and downstream headers.

8. Methodology
The results from the single panel computations
were used extensively to provide feedback to
designers performing thermal analysis with the
Thermal Desktop software package.
4
The CFD analysis offered several insights into
the correlation between areas of "stall" in the
radiator and coolant mass flow rate.
