Catia vs solid works which one is Better.

two of the best computer-aided design software in engineering and manufacturing are Solidworks and CATIA, they have been around for a long period of time now, and they each have different tools and features that can help you work on your projects.

Basically. If you designing a complete car go for catia. If you designing just the cars engine go for solidworks

[alexandrefernandes]

Both belong to Dassault Systemes.
Basically, if it has wheels or wings go CATIA.
Smaller industries use SW because of price.

If you like Software with Windows 95 look and usability, get Catia.
When I was using Catia it had taken me back 20 years!

You need to look at their histories to see the real difference between the two. Catia was originally developed with large scale manufacturing...i.e. large assemblies (not necessarily large files). It was originally built on a Unix network with huge mainframes with the expectation that a lot of engineers would be working parts of large assemblies, only relatively recently transitioning to Windows (and not doing a very good job of it).
Solidworks was NOT developed by Dassault, but by Solidworks independently, and bought by Dassault. It's target audience was for small teams of engineers and designers on smaller manufacturing and development efforts; i.e. smaller assemblies.
Solidworks can do everything Catia can but on a smaller scale.
Basically, development for Catia was spawned from the mainframe network-centric view, while Solidworks was developed from the single-user PC framework.
Catia should probably be compared with ProE instead, whereas Solidworks should be compared with the likes of AutoDesk Inventor, and to a lesser extent Fusion 360, Rhino, Cobalt and other lower-end, and lower cost packages.

I hate mouse controls of catia and it doesn’t change. I switched to nx from solidworks and i am so happy. If you are hard modeling with surface or features solidworks is not enough

My opinion on the subject (working 8+ hours with catia daily and having some knowledge on SW):
-CATIA can do everything SW can. The opposite is not true.
-CATIA is WAY more expensive than SW.
-SW is more user friendly (CATIA looks like a program from the 90s).
-If you learn CATIA, you'll be able to find a job easily (i don't know about SW, but i know it's true about CATIA).
-Most companies can make due with SW, no need to pay for CATIA.

Overall I'd say, SW is better in terms of $$ and user friendliness.Go with SW unless you need to do a lot of surface design or youy really, really (for some reason) want to work iun automotive industry.

Never tried Catia, but if is from the same company as Solidworks it will include a bunch of nice bugs and crashes as Solid does... I've worked with SolidWorks last 6 years and even having a perfect pc it crashes... Sometimes CTD and a lose of data is secure.
Now I'm using Onshape and is bulletproof, no crashes no bugs, nothing. And I don't need a Nasa computer, is for me the best CAD software for up to medium size companies.

The way he says the software regardless shitless is easy to learn and user friendly interface, gives me confidence same time chills.

[billykiliz]

Catia is far superior for complex design tasks; however, its performance is always dependent on the tasks for which it is used.

[aSH]

catia is the best computer-aided design software in engineering and manufacturing

[albertwashingtonjr]

Great comparison in general. What I got from this is that CATIA can handle larger files better than SW, but SW can still be useful with large files. THe price difference is going to force CATIA to drop their price. Interesting though is they're both Dasult products. THose people are not dumb by no means so there's got to be more to it.

Catia looks like it is stuck in time, it looks like Windows XP

[lukacalov]

I think solid is easier to use, more modern and just better graphyics

[vasstagoarchipelagus]

I will now start to study both + Vertex😄 last year studied Autocad and inventor😋

[sahusuniverse]

Can you please tell the system specifications for 3d experience?

[crckdns]

thanks for that comparison/overview!
I have yet to decide what to take.. probably solidworks, as I need it only to construct/plan a home scale lasercutter machine.

[annaB]

Wspaniałe udostępnienie!!! Przesyłam najlepsze pozdrowienia 🙂

[SaddamKhan-puqr]

Is the Electrical simulation possible on catia or solidworks?

[sourabhg]

I prefer creo over any other cad application for parametric design.

[scythe]

1:40 Yeah, it's like asking if a Lamborghini sports car, or a tractor is better. Well, depends on your needs :)
