Aerospace CATIA training

Prepare for CATIA V5 environments used in aerospace design and manufacturing.

Build the CATIA V5 navigation and workflow confidence needed for aerospace design, manufacturing, tooling, inspection, and supplier environments.

Model Based Definition

Aerospace manufacturing now depends on 3D CATIA data.

Boeing, Northrop, and Gulfstream have switched to Model Based Definition 3D CATIA datasets to define parts and assemblies instead of traditional blueprints. Almost all manufacturing positions at these companies require CATIA V5 basic operation and navigation to be able to view the data to do your job.

  • Navigate CATIA V5 models and assemblies with confidence.
  • Understand where product, part, feature, and annotation data lives.
  • Build the basic operation skills needed before working with MBD datasets.

For students pursuing aerospace roles

CATIA V5 familiarity is useful far beyond design engineering. Many aerospace manufacturing and supplier roles require employees to open, view, rotate, inspect, and understand 3D CATIA data.

Design

Mechanical and product design

Learn sketching, feature creation, model editing, and structured design intent.

Manufacturing

Tooling and production support

Build familiarity with part geometry, assemblies, and the model data used across manufacturing teams.

Supplier

Aerospace supply chain

Use CATIA V5 skills for design and manufacturing work connected to Boeing, Lockheed, Gulfstream, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Bombardier, and their suppliers.

Fundamentals

A strong foundation for specialized aerospace roles

The CATIA V5 Fundamentals class is the ideal basic training for other aerospace roles using CATIA V5, including tool design, composites, NC programming, inspection, electrical wire bundle design, interiors design, environmental control systems, and flight controls, to name a few.

CATIA skills aerospace employers expect beginners to know

  • Rotate, pan, zoom, and inspect 3D parts and assemblies.
  • Navigate product structure, part features, and the specification tree.
  • Understand the difference between sketches, features, bodies, parts, and products.
  • Open guided modules repeatedly to build CATIA V5 muscle memory.
  • Prepare for college labs, employer workstations, and supplier environments.
