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.

What do you like best about CATIA?

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.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

The major thing it's UI design it's is simpler but feels very outdated as compared to latest softwares.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.

What problems is CATIA solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helpful for predicting behaviour of complex surfaces so that we can edit whenever needed. Because of its integrated system and engineering approach to developer it efficiently helps monitor the product development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CATIA?

CATIA interface is great, it takes a while to learn this but truly a great tool for any design work you have related to hardware. I used CATIA to design the first draft of my product in Ubreathe, and it was very smooth and easy to build. Lets me do customization and changes as needed, I can do building, assembly, and ultimately analysis with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

I think they could make it easier to use without a mouse. Sometimes I only need to make a small change and its a headache to use CATIA without a proper 3-button mouse. That sucks man, we are in 2023, and we need things made easy now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CATIA solving and how is that benefiting you?

CAITA lets me design the hardware product for Ubreathe, and perform analysis on them so we know we are going in the right direction. We do hundreds of designs and analysis before moving things to the production line, and this saves us time and money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CATIA?

The way a 3d model can be visualized and the way it can be represented on a 1:1 section of either from view, top view or side view gives a clear model that can be further used. Also it gives user an option where type of motion can be linked for various parts and how it visualizes when exploded Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CATIA?

Though it has a simple user interface it is less used as people havechoice with more visually optimized and well integrated, application. Sometimes while switching view and adding part of drawing confuses with plane or surface selected that needs to be used for continuing next trade action Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CATIA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Catia helps in designing prototype of a part based on user level input that again once completely designed as per requirement can used to test if the designed part is actually good to be produced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
