substantial differences between pro/e wf5.0 and catia v5 or v6

[arzigogolo]

Hello, everyone!

I've been using pro/e wf 5.0 for a while and I have to say that I haven't been able to make it nice yet, but maybe it's a matter I still use it for too little.

I've seen cat videos on youtube and it seems very attractive.
even if the question may seem trivial or too generic, you could explain to me, in the mechanical field, so regarding the design and design of classical mechanical components (albers, gears, light carpentry, etc.), which of the two is more "complete" or "effective" in the modeling of parts, assemblies and table?

I am not asking for a complete enumeration of the differences, we would miss it, even synthetically it is fine!:biggrin:

For example, in the table, there are functions that facilitate the creation of the drawings, such as the automatic summary of the symbols of roughness, so much to make an example, or other useful commands that speed up in the quotation of the objects that do not have?

thank you all!:smile:

you are always on the high band, I would say that pro and is more suitable for what you have to do and is more stable regarding the axioms. Then the cost is definitely lower.
I'd be waiting for someone more experienced though.

Hello, mali_fx!

In the meantime, thank you for the answer and for the advice that I value very positively.
In fact, I also think that pro/e is ahead, however, just as you say, we also expect other opinions.

learn how to use pro/e well, the design environment is one of the best existing on the market, just understand its functioning well.
It is useless that you continue to look for comparisons, if the ferrari and toyota still use it for powertrain development and if the competition considers it the best package for this sector a reason there will be.

Keep in mind that the pattern shares, wrinkle symbols and tolerances, are reusable without you having to requote anything.
If you did an official course they would give you a manual of almost 1000 pages only for the drawing part, over 700 pages for the modeling of the parts and another 700 pages for the modeling of the surfaces... this to make you understand how the subject is vast and to be deepened.
Doing learning from you often leaves such gaps to make us believe that the program does not do some things just because we do not know the correct application.

Bye-bye

the differences I would say that there is no, in the sense that they are both 2 exceptional modelers regarding modeling, pro/e is more rigid than catia as modeling, instead the latter you have the possibility to work hard with appropriate sects that free or hybrid with geometries tied or untied... in the powertrainar pro/e is the most used also because it was the capostipide not for this catia and lower as previously said you can work as hard as pro/e.... in the advanced surfaces instead it is automotive.. aerospace only he... to many other modules

another thing is the price catia costs so unlike pro/e and in pure mechanical design are comparable so do a little yourself

I recommend it to you for many years now I use catia but if I have to go back it would not be for me a retrocession but a pleasure having had the opportunity to know both of them

Wow! 1000 pages only for the table? Yes, I imagined it would take a course more than any other media software, but that there were so many things to know only for an environment, I didn't believe!

Well, anyway I'm glad because it means it's very complete!

However I decided to attend a course because as you say and ozzy and as everyone says, to learn well this program is absolutely indispensable.

As I said, I am not properly fasting pro/e, because a little with the desire to learn, much with this site and also in movies on youtube, at least in part I can move quite well.
the only thing (and now I think you will horrify:biggrin::biggrin is that the control icons are a little bit damp, a little extra color wouldn't hurt him!:wink: lol.

thanks also to you rs4. You gave me an excellent explanation and you encouraged me, along with maxopus, to insist on deepening with pro/e.

arzigogolo.. I am going to explain why.
use proe since 2001, mainly use for modeling products obtained for molding, then surfaces, style.. In short, so I can feel that I am no longer a beginner.
I also manage machines with large assemblies, tables, and everything you need for a mechanical project of course.
I have always had the passion for carter modeling, carriages, products that go a little beyond the 4 folded plates that you can do with a little all the programs (now also with paint :smile, but lately I have realized the project of the "carenature" of a track bike, modeled in proes and created relative molds. I then had several contacts for collaborations that would gratify me not little, but here arises a little the problem, because in the automotive field they use almost all catia for the part of body shop, and proe for the motors (see ferrari and many others). .
I decided I'd learn catia, and I wonder if I was wrong to throw myself on proes.
Well... The answer I'm giving myself these days is that I haven't been wrong despite my interest in car or motorcycle modeling.. This is because catia is definitely more suitable for carriages, while all the rest is the top in my opinion.
mechanics and mechanical design is the basis of industry, mechanics, so I am happy to use proe because for mechanic pure is probably the top on the market (also other software have strengths, I don't say no!)
While catia is very targeted to the aesthetic parts and from what I see is more "artistic" (serious word in this field but there were no other synonyms.. Forgive me!)
So... My advice? think about your goal.. then you will know what to learn.
If you want to learn them both.. Well, start off. that you do everything and in an egregious way, if you want to work for automotive you will also learn catia!
I hope I helped you clarify my way of seeing things and so help you decide!
Good job! :finger:
