I ask you that you are experienced and mature of different experiences just to understand what can be used as a cad/cae/cam program for the design of aircraft of the ul industry (light ul).
My doubt is not trivial, but rather from the experience gained with catia v5 and with the actual pragmaticity that instead the design in the sector is required. In essence, less calculations and verifications to arrive before a prototype or to the experimentation of the studied solution.
for this reason I find catia v5 excellent yes, but Moroccan and perhaps excessive... also in the economic management of the license etc.
do you have any other good software to suggest?
thanks to all

by curiosity after catia, what sw did you pass?
 
a friedrichshafen where I was in 2009 at the airshow that takes place every 2 years and this weekhttp://www.aero-expo.com/... there was a French company that to design the trolleys of the hang glider and ulm used a very cheap French cad and from what told me the technician with whom I also spoke simple to use, created specifically for these works. Now the bad luck is that I no longer remember the name of this program, I should look at home tonight if by chance I find the brochures of this company that I had taken at the fair so by email I can ask for information, the technician had left me at his time his contact just to give me the information about this cad, I presume he also sold out.
If I find something, I'll let you know.

Well if it has to be cad/cae/cam probably a pro/e license wouldn't cost you a fortune (securely much less than cat) and you would have a great design tool.
Please note that wf5 (now they call it creo) contains in the basic license a cam 2.5 axes and a basic fem.

but I am part (pro/e use, I do not sell it) so you also feel other opinions.

Yes proe is a great tool but I have never known it "face to face", I have always slaved it because collaborators or acquaintances use it assiduously for work.
I'm currently using nx 7.5 that obviously I didn't buy of my pocket.... I have to say it's a great tool, I don't know the professional packages for cdf or fem, but it seems very valid.

interesting... keep us informed... since 2010 if I am not mistaken now the air fair is annual. this has led to a general impoverishment of the salon because the costs for exhibitors have not decreased... and news can not be appreciated from year to year. This year it was a little so... outdoors practically there was nothing organized, I mean like presentations in flight or with a little show of flight. Too bad. .
Let us know for the cad.
Thank you.

But if it's just for external skin, rhino isn't okay?

No, I don't think... apart from that rhino I know him just and then in any case even if I do not have to make production with assemblies with thousands of components, I must in any case engineering also the internal structure, the plants and the controls.

I looked at the material I have at home but I didn't find the brochure of this ultralight company, I will try to ask my brother if you remember the name. Hi.
