30-Day Daily Syllabus (Beginners to Advanced)

Week 1: CATIA Introduction & Sketching (Days 1–5)

• Day 1: Introduction to CATIA interface and workbenches (Part Design, Sketcher). Learning the coordinate system, units and basic navigation. (Practical: Draw simple 2D shapes.)*

• Day 2: Wireframe Basics: Creating planes, axes, points and lines to define reference geometry. Practice building a basic framework.

• Day 3: 2D Sketching: Lines, circles, rectangles and constraints (dimensions, relations). (Hands-on: Sketch a bracket profile.)*

• Day 4: Modifying sketches: Using fillet, chamfer, trim, extend and multi-element patterns. (Practical: Complete a closed sketch for part modeling.)*

• Day 5: Advanced sketch tools: Geometric transformations, sketch analysis, and best practices. Exercise: Create a complex closed 2D profile for later 3D part.

Week 2: Part Design & Solid Modeling (Days 6–10)

• Day 6: Part Modeling Basics: Extrude (Pad) and Remove (Pocket) features to turn sketches into 3D solids. Introduction to Boolean operations (Add/Subtract).

• Day 7: Using Revolve and Sweep to create round and sweeping parts. Adding Drafts and Shell features for mold-ability.

• Day 8: Feature Detail: Applying Fillets, Chamfers, and other dress-up features. Editing feature parameters and design tables for design variation.

• Day 9: Multi-Body Parts: Creating and managing multiple solid bodies in one part file. Performing Boolean operations (Join, Split, Cut) between bodies.

• Day 10: Parametric Design: Changing dimensions and constraints to update parts. Introduction to design intent and family tables. (Practical: Model a simple machine part with multiple features.)*

Week 3: Assembly Design (Days 11–15)

• Day 11: Assembly Basics: Creating a new assembly file, inserting parts, and understanding assembly structure. Fixing one part and leaving others “free.”

• Day 12: Applying Constraints: Coincidence, Contact, Angle, Offset constraints to position parts correctly. Building simple assemblies (e.g. a bracket with fasteners).

• Day 13: Working with Standard Libraries: Inserting standard fasteners, or creating and reusing assembly sub-parts. Managing part references.

• Day 14: Advanced Assembly: Exploded view creation and basic kinematics. (Hands-on: Assemble a gearbox or linkage mechanism.)*

• Day 15: Checking Interference and Motion: Running collision detection and simple motion animation. Mini-Project: Assemble components of a mechanical arm or gear train and test fit.

Week 4: Surface Modeling (Generative Shape Design) (Days 16–20)

• Day 16: Introduction to Surface Workbench: Splines (2D/3D curves), trimming and extension of surfaces.

• Day 17: Creating Freeform Surfaces: Loft, Sweep and Blend surfaces between sketch profiles. Building complex curvatures (e.g. car body panels).

• Day 18: Surface editing: Fillet/Blend Surfaces to smooth transitions. Join/Heal surfaces to make a watertight model.

• Day 19: Converting surfaces to solids: Thickening surfaces, knitting multiple surfaces. (Practical: Model a simple aerodynamic shell.)*

• Day 20: Hybrid modeling: Combining solid and surface features. (Project: Students practice by modeling an aerodynamic component, integrating surfacing with solid features.)*

Week 5: Sheet Metal Design (Days 21–25)

• Day 21: Introduction to Sheet Metal workbench. Creating sheet walls, bends and flanges from sketches.

• Day 22: Designing features: Bend table, hem, corner reliefs and adding cutouts/holes to sheet parts.

• Day 23: Unfolding/Flat Pattern: Generating the flat pattern of a sheet metal part for manufacturing. (Hands-on: Create and unfold a bent sheet bracket.)*

• Day 24: Advanced Sheetmetal: Adding stiffeners, forming features and using multi-layer sheet metal.

• Day 25: Weldments: (Optional) Introduction to welding features. Mini-Project: Design and unfold a simple enclosure or chassis component.

Week 6: Drafting & Final Project (Days 26–30)

• Day 26: Drafting Fundamentals: Creating a new drawing from 3D parts/assemblies. Placing standard views, sections and auxiliary views.

• Day 27: Detailing Drawings: Adding dimensions, annotations, symbols (GD&T) and title block information. Ensuring drawings meet industry standards.

• Day 28: Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T): Principles of tolerance zones and symbol application on drawings.

• Day 29: Capstone Project – Part 1: Begin a comprehensive project (e.g. design a mechanical assembly or product). Students create 3D parts and initial assembly.

• Day 30: Capstone Project – Part 2 & Review: Finalize the model and 2D documentation. Each student presents their project. Course review, Q&A, and distribution of CATIA Certification.

Throughout this schedule, each topic is reinforced with hands-on practice. For example, after learning Part Design features, you’ll practice by modeling a real component. In Assembly week, you’ll complete a small assembly project. The final 2-day capstone project ties together part modeling, assembly and drafting to simulate a real-world design task.
