Mechanical Design Software and future scope -

Top and Best Mechanical Cad Software -

1) CATIA -

          CATIA is a french designed Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool. It is a three dimensional modelling tool. This tool is used in design of various objects such as vehicles, buildings, components etc
          CATIA is the one the world's leading product design CAD Software created by Dassault Systems.
As an mechanical design engineer, by using CATIA ,can deal with part design, drafting , assembly design, assembly drawing generation, kinematics simulation, mechanisms, rendaring, analysis.
          Apart from these features, some other interesting feature makes this CAD tools unique. such as its boolean operation or it also called multi-body concept which used in Mould design, casting, forging, plastic product design etc
          Surfacing having the great control to make plastic product design because of this feature it used in leading Automotive, Aerospace based organization in the world.

CATIA Features -
 Mechanical Part Design, Mold design/ tool design, composite design and analysis, sheet metal, surface design, plastic design, fluid system, electrical system, machines and various equipment design, marine and transport engineering, construction engineering etc
Social design environment,

2) CREO -

          CREO is also known as Pro/ENGINEER. It is a product design software created by PTC for 2D/3D CAD, parametric, direct modelling. It also features simulation tools for analyzing the product's performance including structural, thermal and vibration.
          Geometric tolerance analysis, fatigue performance analysis can be performed by using CREO.

Capabilities Includes -

• 3D Solid modeling 
• Direct modeling 
• Robust assembly modeling 
• Detailed documentation including 2D and 3D drawings
• Technical surfacing 
• freestyle surfacing 
• sheetmetal modeling

3) UGNX (NX OR UNIGRAPHICS) -

          UG NX is the one of the best Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) software created by SIEMENS used for design, simulation as machine tools solution.
Its design applications includes product design, industrial/ electro-mechanical design and mechatronics design.
          UG NX also used for structural/thermal/flow analysis, simulation and optimization.
UN NX plays an major role in CAM for machine tool control, direct numerical control, CMM programming as well as for tooling and fixture design.
          The biggest selling feature of NX is that its integrated NX has CAD CAE & CAM all in one, so its easier to do a complete product design than any other software currently in the market.

Main Functionality of NX CAD -

• Part/Assembly Modeling 
• Simulation & Analysis
• Animation & Rendering
• Cost Estimation
• Documantion
