passage from creo 1.0 to catia

[szach]

hello to all, I received an interesting work proposal but I should abandon the ptc program (after 9 years) and go to catia.
The thing frightens me and not little since I have always used pro engineer and I wanted to ask you if someone had already made a pass of this kind and especially what difficulties he encountered.
my greatest fear are the plastics created by the surface; where I work currently we produce cochlea conveyors and the proposal was made by a company that produces karts in all its parts.
with creo I used the surfaces only to make stilts but still particular created in sheet metal and I do not know where to start to create molds or plastic pieces
At present the firm leans on an external study and would like a person to carry out work in the company.
What do you recommend? Is it better to offer him a course x understand how he thinks catia since I have never used it?
I accept every advice and thank you in advance.

Thank you.

Hi.
according to my opinion your problem is not to go from creo to catia, but to go from designing sheet metal pieces has to design molds this is a problem (I don't know your competence)
hello good work

This is... ! !

:

cmq quoto lucky, if you have the theoretical basis, experience you do it..
Also consider that I create is not really a toy, so you won't have a problem going to cat.

Hi.

as they have already told you, changing the sw is not a problem, but the knowledge necessary to design different types to which we are accustomed.

I think you should understand what the new company requires, for example:

model a prototype by hand and then perform a relief of volumes?

need to model the surfaces from the reliefs, to bring them to class a or are provided?

if they are supplied (classes a), then you have to engineer the maths until they are printed with high-production molds?

Do you have to make complete moulds, or do only craft moulds made of resin, from which they get laminated or injection?

are the other elements made of milling cn? or are they bent and assembled profiles?

Why use catia? Usually for many offices, the choice of software is tied to customer requests, otherwise use a less complex and expensive sw.

I don't recommend switching to caty and shaping surfaces or large sets without a course...

Let us know
