Catia V5r19 for Engineers and Designers (with CD)  (English, Paperback, Tickoo Sham)

CATIA V5R19 for Engineers & Designers textbook introduces the reader to CATIA V5R19, one of the world's leading parametric solid modeling packages. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improves the productivity and efficiency of the users. The chapters in this textbook are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes it very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software.

Key Features

• Tutorial Approach: The author has adopted the tutorial point-of-view and learn-by-doing theme throughout the textbook. This approach guides the users through the process of creating the models in the tutorials.
• Real-World Projects as Tutorials: The author has used about 40 real-world mechanical engineering industry. In addition, there are about 25 exercises that are also based on the real-world mechanical engineering projects.
• Coverage of All Important Workbenches: The book covers all important workbenches of CATIA, including the Part Design, Assembly Design, Drafting, Wireframe and Surface Design, Generative Sheetmetal Design, and DMU Kinematics
• Tips and Notes: Additional Information is provided to the users in the form of tips and notes.

About The Author
Sham Tickoo is a professor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology at Purdue University Calumet. He joined Purdue University in the year 1987. Since then he has been teaching drafting and design, AutoCAD, AutoLISP, 3ds max, 3ds viz, Mechanical Desktop, Pro/Engineer, Autodesk Inventor, etc.

Prof. Tickoo is also one of the best known authors of CAD/CAM books in the world market. He has authored around 60 books, including the updates, on the latest CAD/CAM technology. He is one of the very few authors in the world whose books are translated and sold in the countries like Italy, China, Philippines, and Russia.

Prof. Tickoo has also developed a software package called SMLayout that has been registered by Autodesk Inc. as a third party software product. This software package is currently being used by some companies in Canada, United States and Columbia. SMLayout is written in the AutoLISP programming language. It generates flat layout drawing of some complicated geometric shapes. This software package addresses the needs of steel fabricators and manufacturers of sheet metal products. The programs also provide a dimensioning option for automatic dimensioning of the drawing.
