Basically. If you designing a complete car go for catia. If you designing just the cars engine go for solidworks
That's beautifully answered
Well, even designing engine in CATIA is easier and faster than the same task in SolidWorks, so if time is more valuable than money go with CATIA over SolidWorks.
You need to look at their histories to see the real difference between the two. Catia was originally developed with large scale manufacturing...i.e. large assemblies (not necessarily large files). It was originally built on a Unix network with huge mainframes with the expectation that a lot of engineers would be working parts of large assemblies, only relatively recently transitioning to Windows (and not doing a very good job of it).
Solidworks was NOT developed by Dassault, but by Solidworks independently, and bought by Dassault. It's target audience was for small teams of engineers and designers on smaller manufacturing and development efforts; i.e. smaller assemblies.
Solidworks can do everything Catia can but on a smaller scale.
Basically, development for Catia was spawned from the mainframe network-centric view, while Solidworks was developed from the single-user PC framework.
Catia should probably be compared with ProE instead, whereas Solidworks should be compared with the likes of AutoDesk Inventor, and to a lesser extent Fusion 360, Rhino, Cobalt and other lower-end, and lower cost packages.

.. 2 years after its inception .. in 1997
before make expectation of popularity for them was nee to understand so before people have to be familiar with it Catia not give them that option . Not too clever approach In this way they loss quantity of friends
Well based on that video Catia looks like the one to go with if you want to design a really REALLY ugly car and SW for some sort of factory machine??
Inventor?
Not a worthy option
Who wins??
a sports car or an off-road utility vehicle? depends on what you need
@@trabadix i am talking about catia vs solidworks...which is more effective..?
@@Shaunak_Aital he says it s changes what u work about anything but my thoughts Catia wins
@@Shaunak_Aital CATIA is high-end CAD software, Solidworks is mid-range. CATIA will cost five figures per license, Solidworks will cost four figures. If you are building airplanes, you will need CATIA (or NX or Creo).
Autodesk Inventor!
Catia looks like it is stuck in time, it looks like Windows XP
yep. catia is the pinnacle of function over form.
If it aint broke, don't fix it
Bro ain't no engineer who gives a shit about the aesthetics🤣. CATIA is obviously superior in detail, capacity esp. in sheet metal design & ease of use.
Esp. for aerospace & aviation engineers like me.
Sound like a big plus to me
That's the spirit.
I think solid is easier to use, more modern and just better graphyics
Both belong to Dassault Systemes.
Basically, if it has wheels or wings go CATIA.
Smaller industries use SW because of price.
Thank you
Yep can confirm. Smaller parts usually use Solidworks.
My job involves model and study of wiring harness connectors so Solidworks is our main CAD app.
@@zhusikuqi8147 I didn't say smaller parts. I said smaller industries as in smaller companies (less money) compared to bigger companies (more money) that can purchase a much more expensive software like CATIA.
If you like Software with Windows 95 look and usability, get Catia.
When I was using Catia it had taken me back 20 years!
sorry to say , but catia dont come with windows 95 looks only , u can fully modify it in your own way. far better than any other software.
@@RajeshYadav-ry5vq You're right, it's rather Windows 98 look...
same here....
None of them I can afford...
I hate mouse controls of catia and it doesn’t change. I switched to nx from solidworks and i am so happy. If you are hard modeling with surface or features solidworks is not enough
My opinion on the subject (working 8+ hours with catia daily and having some knowledge on SW):
-CATIA can do everything SW can. The opposite is not true.
-CATIA is WAY more expensive than SW.
-SW is more user friendly (CATIA looks like a program from the 90s).
-If you learn CATIA, you'll be able to find a job easily (i don't know about SW, but i know it's true about CATIA).
-Most companies can make due with SW, no need to pay for CATIA.
Overall I'd say, SW is better in terms of $$ and user friendliness.Go with SW unless you need to do a lot of surface design or youy really, really (for some reason) want to work iun automotive industry.
Why would someone not want to work in the automotive industry?
@@TODDV97 very little $$ to be made compared to other industries
What can catia do that solidworks can't?
@@DzahierulAliemy surface design is a lot more potent in catia (hence its prevalence in automotive & aerospace). Other than that, i think solid can do pretty much the same as catia.
Both are from the same company. I guess solid came after as the pretier and more user friendly child of catia to target a general audience while catia has been kept for the more specialized industries that use it.
Can you guide me the best way to learn Catia , the best educational course for it?
😂 Expensive software with a lot of features. I use both of them during my college degree using student license. Now, I am not able to afford it 😭
What did you study ?
@@lowkey_X I study Industrial engineering
Just get cracked ones
crack them, there is a lot of youtube video that explain how to do it, and it's fucking easy
Then use pirated ones just for personal use.
Catia is far superior for complex design tasks; however, its performance is always dependent on the tasks for which it is used.
catia is the best computer-aided design software in engineering and manufacturing
Why?
But why it looks so shit like a 2005 software even if i install 2019 version
@@rogerharsh Like a 2005 software? You mean rather like a windows 95 style software. The GUI and mostly the partially free floating toolbars are prehistorically horrible! Catia still don't know in 2021 the purpose of the mouse-wheel...
@@festeplatte4225 yeah.. some floating toolbars keeps blank when closed instead of disappearing 😂
nx
NX is better than either.
Nope Catia is much more superior
Never tried Catia, but if is from the same company as Solidworks it will include a bunch of nice bugs and crashes as Solid does... I've worked with SolidWorks last 6 years and even having a perfect pc it crashes... Sometimes CTD and a lose of data is secure.
Now I'm using Onshape and is bulletproof, no crashes no bugs, nothing. And I don't need a Nasa computer, is for me the best CAD software for up to medium size companies.
For some reason CATIA actually has less bugs and issues than SolidWorks
siemensNX is the best
Not clear.
Can you please tell the system specifications for 3d experience?
main requirements is Ram and Graphics , is better if u have 16 gb +.
to get 3D experience first u need to create 3d experience it and then participate in any competation there and u get link to install the software. (during installation process u again prompted with a pdf of installation requirement).
if you need to watch this video at all, catia is not for you.
Catia is vastly superior once you get into boolean operations and surfaces. Solidworks looks better but that's about it. Both are superior to Inventor. Inventor excels at promoting poor behaviour.
If you need to get 3D models out fast (and don't need fancy surfacing), Solidworks will allow you to do horrible, horrible things for the sake of speed. Stuff like building parts using external references to other parts in an assembly, starting new parts in-assembly by sticking it on an existing part, and manually selecting which closed contour(s) to use inside a sketch with multiple overlapping closed contours. Sure, if anything changes, the whole thing might break apart into spaghetti. But it is faster.
Nah inventor and solidworks pretty same actually.
Is the Electrical simulation possible on catia or solidworks?
Electrical simulation? Just use SPICE software such as ltspice for example.
Cad software won't be useful for pure electrical simulation, the only thing it can be useful for is when designing PCB's and you want to see how they appear in 3d.
apples and oranges...
Seriously. What's better.
Solidworks doesn't waste time with "workbenches".
Catia's mouse control and 3D rotating skill is terrible and it's assembly skill is worse. It's icons and background are the worst. It's 2D drawing is also terrible. Catia offers me everything necessary or unnecessary, like a salesman who doesn't know what I need. It does not provide convenience to me. I can't even attach a line to a part's edge directly, Catia wants me to define that edge every time. The only thing I like about Catia is that it does not slow down the computers.
As for the Solidworks, SW knows everything what I need. Faster drawing, faster modelling, much faster assembling.
The way he says the software regardless shitless is easy to learn and user friendly interface , gives me confidence same time chills.
so how can i get license for my solidwork software because i have the setup on my laptop requesting for license.
Just crack it man
Buy it?
@@haddedoussama14 How do you crack it?
@@mightydeathlash2867 dm me on IG instagram.com/oussamahadded/
@@mightydeathlash2867 with a hammer
it is need to say at first so producers of SolidWorks are more clever they give people chance to learning in private this program by realize of cracks by themselves Catia look like old man trousers interface . Settings of Key not too convenient for adjustment

Great comparison in general. What I got from this is that CATIA can handle larger files better than SW, but SW can still be useful with large files. THe price difference is going to force CATIA to drop their price. Interesting though is they're both Dasult products. THose people are not dumb by no means so there's got to be more to it.
Well, I am sorry, but I strongly disagree with the notion of this being a great comparison. In the end the video says "one has a good toolset, but the other one does too". This was in my opinion done by a person who does not have a clue. Now... the most notable difference between Catia and Sw:
1.) is in their kernel core. Catia is CGM, SW is based on Parasolid ( licenced by Siemens, so it is no surprise NX is also a parasolid based CAD). This came to be, as Dassault required to fill in the gaps in their portfolio with an alternative for a mid-level CAD and purchased a young american company -SW.
2.) Catia is great and all with the whole ekosystem of modules and plugins, but it aims for big companies to service the whole LCM. SW is a simpler tool for small businesses.
3.) Catia can by means of it's architecture and loading strategies work with much greater assemblies, counting tens of thousands parts - a feat not many CADs can do.
4.) Parametric architectures. This is a broad topic, but I would pick one aspect of it as a representative: SW relies heavily on volumetric booleans; the problem with such stuff is that your modeling features inputs are often only virtual entities; vertices, edges, faces you choose as an operator. But in case of notable modifications these tend to get lost, as the querry of these entities per boolean body changes, and you'll get an update error. Then you, again, as an operator need to manually replace the missing entity. ( an example: you are about to union trim 2 bodies. The faces to keep are all connected by a tangency continuity operator. If you would later modify the body in question in a way, that the face you picked in the initial operation would no longer be connected to the querry of faces which are cut by the second body, the operation will crash and provide an update error). In Catia you can use these methods too, and for speedmodelling this is great, and to some extent these querries are overlooked by a comparison algoryrhm (which is better on SW). But if you are striving for stability, Catia offers a great number of options for you to pick from inside its toolboxes ( like a dozen for surface modeling alone ), so that you can relatively easily devise strategies where you will use only inputs for features that are rather points, lines, and surfaces ( as opposed to vertices, edges and faces), or put simply: discrete unambiguous operations. As such, this methodology has a 100 fold lower update error incidency. you can build much more robust models, requiring much less time to update upon change request.
5.) User - friendlines. Catia is a hostile otherwordly terror hell-bent on ruining your life when it comes to some very common stuff compared to SW. A simple example: Chain with varying number of links on a spline trajectory and their kinematics. In SW it is several clicks away, in Catia it is a nightmare ( copying and binding them one by one manualy) unless.... you have a lot of money for some very exotic licences. ....Or a lot of free time for programing your own macros.
Of course there is so much more to it, but as for the most notable differences I would pick these.
@@Ortherion0 wow, thanks for this comment, explains a lot more than the video
@@engineergaming2032 Glad to help :)
@@Ortherion0best explanation so far in this comment section
@@unknownclint1740 thanks!
I prefer creo over any other cad application for parametric design.
nx is also good. Give it a try
I'm using Creo for a car design and noticing a few things. Cars are made of sheet metal. Creo can do nice surface design for the car, but can't turn the surfaces to sheet metal and flat pattern. That's what Catia can do.
For Product Design, Catia is trash compared to Solidworks.
thanks bro
1:40 Yeah, it's like asking if a Lamborghini sports car, or a tractor is better. Well, depends on your needs :)
maybe you meant a sports car or an off-road utility vehicle ;)
@@trabadix Lambo makes both right?
I will now start to study both + Vertex😄 last year studied Autocad and inventor😋
the one that is better is the one that you learned on and all other UIs are garbage
Suggest me one for automobile designs
catia
Autodesk Alias, CATIA is a very powerful software but its interface make you want to suicide
NX best for Automobile design.
Then Catia or Creo
pitbull ?
If you have to ask.....choose Solidworks 🤣
How to view catia files without open (thumbnail), like solidworks
Why do I feel as if Max Verstappen is narrating it
solid work is easy to learn quickly but CATIA is advanced for only surface design
Both of them which more light?
Best software
weldon sir
thanks for that comparison/overview!
I have yet to decide what to take.. probably solidworks, as I need it only to construct/plan a home scale lasercutter machine.
How can i rotate objects in Solidworks like CATIA?
You can not. I was having the same problem when learning SW. I find the rotate objects in SW very annoying.
Wspaniałe udostępnienie!!! Przesyłam najlepsze pozdrowienia 🙂
Solidworks by far.
lets steal it !!!
Глупейшее сравнение!
very nice sir
catia same inventor fusion
Freecad is the best
It is Worse than Inventor.
The best are Solidworks and NX.
Creo works fine (except the drafting).
Thank you ❤️
thanks for informations
@Alla Sebert scam
I checked - everything is clean
Can catia analyse 50000 RPM effects ?
