mechanical engineer designer

[nicolalocin]

Hello.
I'm a three-year-old mechanic, the one from 30 exams to understand.
reading the job offers I always read mechanical designer, but there are those who use solidworks who edge who catches those invenor etc...
I don't know if these software are similar to each other or learning one you know more or less using another.
in case it was not so which would you recommend?what is most used and required?
I'm gonna start cuffing a little bit with catia v5
thank you very much to all of the courteous answer

 

[volaff]

Bye.
I'd say cat v5 all my life.
for personal experience is the most widely used modeling software in the mechanical and in the aeronautical field.

for my professional experience are very few big companies that use catia. and many think "catia is the best sw in the world because the best ones use it", as to say that to go to work I buy myself a tractor, that if the big multinationals use it will be better than a car that instead use only the losers.

However if you learn catia you have learned 70% of each parametric modeling software. and vice versa of course.

I have to choose a course between inventor solidworks or catia indecision maximum.......what should I choose according to you?

I agree with lightning, the choice of the software depends on the reference market. catia has very high costs and normally only large companies or very specialized companies use it. Moreover it is much more extensive in functionality and therefore more difficult to learn.
probably solidworks or inventor are more suitable, not to mention that then the passage from one to another is easier.
I personally think sw superior to inventor, for a number of reasons, but also true that they are part because use and that software evolve very quickly.

 

[Fulvio Romano]

I am not part of it, now I use only the pencil, but I agree with wave and I would suggest you solidworks too.

It's more likely to find him than catia and than inventor is more...like saying... Intuitive there, because for today I have already reached the maximum threshold of words that I have self-imposed.

It is in fact that if you find a caty course that costs 10% less than that of sw, or you are more comfortable for a thousand reasons, do it, so much learned one you pass quite easily to the other. the important in these courses is to acquire the modeling technique more than the single drop down menu on which to click.

drop down menu?!?! Sorry, ribbon, I mean ribbon...

you who work with us, would you feel that you would advise me to pursue this career, that is, a designer mechanical engineer?
is it a job that is satisfying?

 

[Onda]

Bah, it's a mission. if you have it in the blood then welcome, otherwise make a career more executive / commercial.
depends on your passions and your goals.
then clear that when you see something complex, designed by you, that works, the satisfactions give you.

to this question you can answer everything and the opposite of everything. depends on your expectations, on the company where you're going to work, if you're free professional, from the industry.

Will you make laminators? watches? racing car engines? Will you work in Italy? abroad? in a design studio? in a big multinational?

how to respond. . . If you like to design and get a minimum of luck is the most beautiful job in the world. If you don't like to design is the worst job in the world.

not to be aside but, from the info I find on the net, nx has reached it and I think that in a bit will put the arrow of surprise. . .

 

[alex_novi]

If you want to make the engineer you already know, you must like the mechanics, if you choose a single to catch and you like the f**a choose another faculty.

As for cads, I work in the automotive and I have always used solid edge, lately I find it a little limiting and so we are thinking of switching to catia, which is a bit the automotive standard.

 

[The_Matrix]

do you want to make designer engineer and write in a forum dedicated to catia v6 if the best cad to learn is v5, swx, whether or not?
Well, as a first step, it doesn't seem like a great...
:tongue:

I would not hire you for example: you are imprecise and do not look after the details
"the devil is in the details"
is the mantra of a great designer

excuse me if I interfere, but if you knew now inventor 2022 has already put the arrow and passed nx, catia, sw and if; in fact the dassault to stay ahead and not fail has had to copy a bit from all, the various packages, and has copied them too badly. Premetto was an outclass for years caia than other programs, did its time. bye.

so I guess you know, perfectly, all the software mentioned?
I think every cad has its merits and flaws.
everything depends on its use

Well! not all, but inventor, catia, pro-e, creo modelling, solidworks, these I know them. then rightly as you say. each cad has its preferential route

 

[biz]

personally, knowing inventor, creating elements/direct modeling,solid edge and nx, I prefer siemens products, so nx and solid edge.comanywhere I think inventor is a good product. creo elements/direct modeling is another world because it is not parametric.Many products, if not all, develop towards hybrid modeling, both parametric and direct, good and right (solid edge and nx already allow it for different time).

unbelievable if they always read about stupid days
the dassault that fails?, in 2020 has revenues 4,45 billion eur
the autodesk in 2020 instead has revenues 3.27 billion eur

 

[Roberto Mandelli]

2021, then we talk about self-desk products are the most sold in the world, now with revit that is architectural and for the surfaces, d'assault can only remain in open eyes. ?
