CATIA User Companion is a paid official training bundle for CATIA users, it covers most necessary topics for easy familiarizing with new CATIA products.

User Companion for DMU (2CD)

User Companion for DMU provides training support on the following products: CATIA/ENOVIA DMU Navigator, DMU Space Analysis, and DMU Optimizer. Beside the many skillets and job aids designed to be called on-demand in an EPSS (Electronic Performance Support System) mode, User Companion for DMU provides expert advice on the main digital mock-up processes.

User Companion for CATIA Mechanical Design (4CD)

User Companion for CATIA Mechanical Design provides a pool of courses for all Mechanical Design users. This product has 3
objectives:
- Explain the CATIA V5 interface and philosophy. The user will learn about objects' organization and how to begin a project with the appropriate basic features.
- Cover mechanical items such as 3D Modeling, Drawing, Assembly including Design in Context, associativity, implementation of Knowledgeware, link management
- Leverage user's skills in the mechanical workbenches, logical flow in design and navigation in the workbenches thanks to a process-centric project.
User Companion for CATIA Mechanical Design builds up V5 Mechanical Design skills from Fundamentals to the expert level. This product is meant to be used as an electronic performance support system for any mechanical product even at the PLM entry level.

User Companion for CATIA Sheetmetal (CD)

This course will teach you how to design a sheet metal part using associative feature-based modeling. Standard and user-defined stamped features can be integrated into the design and the resulting flat pattern is calculated in accordance with standard bend allowances or with company specific bend allowance tables. Recommendations for sheet metal design and expert advice on how to best use the different workbench tools are provided throughout the course. All theoretical concepts are illustrated with a minimum of 2 exercises per lesson. User Companion for CATIA Sheetmetal pre-requisites User Companion for CATIA Mechanical Design (Getting Started with CATIA V5, Sketcher, Part Design).

User Companion for CATIA Hybrid Design (CD)

This product teaches the user how to implement mechanical surfaces in the design process. After a review of the basics tools of Shape Design, the user follows an expert process embedding 7 steps from advanced wireframe creation to a solid part creation using Hybrid Design methodology. The student will acquire a precise and thorough method to design surfaces at the expert level; this includes quality analysis, repair methodology, fillet creation. User Companion for CATIA Hybrid Design complements the Surface course included in User Companion for CATIA Mechanical Design. It targets advanced Generative Surface Engineering.

User Companion for CATIA Structural Analysis (CD)

User Companion for CATIA Structural Analysis describes Structural Analysis tools using the finite elements method. It allows users to implement short loop analysis inside of the design process. After an introduction to the Generative Part Structural Analysis workbench, the Companion course explains, in a pre-processing lesson, the first steps of CAD preparation including how to mesh a part, define properties and apply loads and constraints. The computation lesson explains how to run analyses and store them. The last lesson covers the post-processing phase describing the different tools used to display results such as image generation and video report publishing. It also includes adaptative methodology for accuracy improvement. CATIA User Companion for Structural Analysis presents the easiest and most efficient method for all users of CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 1 & 2 products.

User Companion for CATIA Extended Structural Analysis (CD)

Based on the finite elements method CATIA User Companion for Extended Structural Analysis describes tools, used in Advanced Structural Analysis. It covers 3 main areas: assembly analysis, dynamic analysis and expert analysis provided with the Elfini solver. First lesson. After an introduction to the Generative Assembly Structural Analysis workbench, Companion explains the different types of connection technologies that can be defined between parts in an assembly. Companion guides the user in his/her choice of a targeted mechanical behavior. A second lesson covers the advanced tools provided by Elfini Structural Analysis such as post-processing and analysis data management. A third lesson focuses on dynamic response solved with Elfini. At the end of each lesson, the user can assess his/her understanding of the lessons through different hands-on exercises.
