3DEXPERIENCE CATIA: 3D Tolerancing and Annotation

This training course has numerous practices that will help you acquire the skills to create and display engineering, manufacturing, and assembly information directly on the 3D part, assembly, or process model. This extensive hands-on course will provide you with a thorough understanding of geometric tolerances, dimensions, notes, and other annotations critical to the accurate and cost-effective creation of mechanical parts and assemblies. This course complies with the industry and government initiated American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) Y14.41 3D standards for the creation and submission of model only, paperless design applications.
