3D Experiences Based on CATIA Systems Technology

Experience, Understand and Learn systems engineering

You are looking for an innovative way to teach systems engineering?

Here is a collection of CATIA Systems greater scenarios to help you

build your own systems engineering curricula. To support you in this

task, we provide you:

Basic scenarios: simple models which focus on a fundamental

principle of physics such as harmonic oscillation (simple

pendulum), coriolis effect (wheel and spherical joint), and so on.

Advanced scenarios: industrial case studies inspired by

different fields such as automotive or aerospace. These

scenarios combine multiphysics problems like electronics,

mechanics, thermodynamic, hydraulic …

A 3DXML, a video and a courseware are provided for each

scenario.
