CATIA Part Design 1 (PD1) provides a basic set
of integrated multi-discipline tools for part design. Using
the best-in-class feature approach combined with Boolean
tools, you can integrate multiple product views and
constraints. Designers choose between single part sketching or
working in the assembly context, and benefit from the
controlled associatively which promotes a collaborative
design.
With clear specification management tools,
modifications can be made and the impact assessed quickly.
This capability is ideal for multi-user environments and
productive iteration. The benefits of this approach are
maximised when combined with others V5 applications for
styling, mechanical surfaces definition, assembly modelling
and downstream documentation.
