GRAPHICAL MODELLING OF PARTS WITH SIMPLE GEOMETRY IN VARIOUS CAD SYSTEMS
Keywords:
NX, graphical modelling, Autodesk Inventor, CATIAAbstract
Computer-aided design - CAD is one of the most widespread and efficient methods used in modern engineering. It contributes to increasing precision, optimizing the design process and reducing production costs. Being an essential tool in multiple fields, CAD design has revolutionized the way parts and systems are designed and manufactured. The paper analyses the facilities and features offered by three different CAD programs - Autodesk Inventor, CATIA and NX, providing a practical comparison between them. By modelling the same parts, the differences between the workflows, the production times, as well as the degree of efficiency specific to each program are presented. Thus, the aim is to highlight the technical functionalities, providing users with a solid basis for choosing a CAD solution adapted to the requirements of efficiency and productivity.
