Additionally, Creo data can be shared with partners in CATIA, Siemens NX, and SolidWorks formats.Ĭreo offers five extensions that each enables collaboration for the specific CAD platform: The software ensures that revisions to CATIA®, Siemens® NX™, SolidWorks®, and Autodesk® Inventor data used in designs can be easily incorporated while preserving design intent that has been built across the models. The Creo Collaboration Extensions address this challenge. Unfortunately, when these partners work on different CAD systems, the manual effort required to incorporate multiple iterations of data, while preserving design intent built across the models, often prevents this from happening. Most organizations would prefer to collaborate with partners early and often. What can CATIA do that solidworks can't? (or the other way around) Why does dassault systemes make two CAD packages? How do CATIA and Solidworks compare to packages like NX or Creo or others on the market? From my understanding CATIA is a more beefy version of Solidworks with Creo being a competitor to solidworks and NX being a competitor to CATIA.The Creo Collaboration Extensions provide organizations with the tools to collaborate more effectively when working with data from multiple CAD systems, enabling design teams to improve product quality, desirability, and on-time delivery. Next, after looking into all the different CAD packages I can't really seem to understand the differences. So, my first question is which software I should spend my time learning now I'm comfortable with soldiworks? Occasionally I see things like NX or creo asked for but it seems they are less popular.

After looking at job adverts it seems that solidworks is often asked for but CATIA is also popular.

I'm keen to work within the automotive (or maybe aerospace who knows) industry when I graduate but being competitive I'd like to improve my CV by learning the software I'd need (CAD is also a bit of a hobby). I'd say I'm fairly confident in soldiworks now. Im a mechanical engineering student and have been using Solidworks (and Inventor) now for around four years and have, over the last year, been learning the more advanced modules such as animation and motion studies, fluid flow simulation and stress analysis.
