**Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application **

CATIA is a multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite developed by the French company Dassault Systemes. Written in the C++ programming language, CATIA is the cornerstone of the Dassault Systemes product lifecycle management software suite. CATIA competes in the high-end CAD/CAM/CAE market with Siemens NX.

I've learned in my class, advanced CAD about Part Design, Assembly Design, and how to use sketch tracer and freestyle. I will show how to create a car hood using a sketch tracer by CATIA.

First step : Insert  images ( front view, side view & top view )


 Second step : After  inserted the images, follow the step in this picture.


Third step : Press 'ALT F5'

 Please thick icon 'Flip to WU or ZX' and 'Most Seen Plane'

Fourth step : Insert a line by using 3D curve.


Fifth step : After finished insert the lines, please select 'Styling Sweep'.




Sixth step : Repeat step 4 and 5 for the other portion of the car hood. 



Last step : A car hood is done!


I hope I can improve my skills in CATIA. Please enjoy it!

Wassalam. :)
