CATIA Basics - What Are Workbenches?

If you prefer to read about CATIA rather than watch CATIA video tutorials, we'll be publishing some articles to help you out. In this entry, I'll start teaching you the basics of the CATIA workbench.

What exactly is a CATIA workbench? The CATIA workbench is an environment within CATIA hosting a particular set of tools that create and manipulate geometry with a certain output in mind.

So, in the Sketcher workbench, you get 2D drawing tools like circles, lines, rectangles, polygons, arcs and such, as well as tools for further refining your geometry once you've placed it in the graphic area--such as tools for trimming, copying, moving, offsetting etc.  The Sketcher Workbench is where you draw out your ideas. In the Surface Design workbench, you'll have tools for creating surfaces, which are models of zero-thickness geometry, and you'll have tools that are unique to modifying those surfaces (rather than tools for modifying solid models).  The Part Design workbench has a set of tools designed for manipulating 3D objects in 3D space. So, here is where you turn your 2D geometry into a 3D model, by creating and modifying extrusions, revolutions, etc. In the Drafting workbench you get tools that let you create drawings of your work that you can share with colleagues or clients. 

By limiting the display of certain tools to certain workbenches, or environments, the software stays more tidy and focused in its presentation. Some tools are available to you in many different environments, of course, such as the tools for view manipulation, like pan, zoom, rotate, etc.  The standard tool bar also displays in many different workbenches. The standard tool bar has buttons for Open, Save, Save As, Print, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, and Help.

Some of this information is easier to present in the format of CATIA video tutorials, but we have had many requests for easy-to-read-and-digest text information, so enjoy! Stay tuned for the next in our series of CATIA tutorials for beginners.

Navigation Tools in CATIA and Other View Manipulation Options

While I prefer learning this cool software with CATIA video tutorials, I am happy to provide a lot of useful information in this article. In this article, I'll tell you about the navigation tools and other ways of getting around in CATIA.
