You can do all the steps from the design of a piece, through the 2Ds until the analysis of strength and movements. > > **Cons**: This is a really difficult tool to understand the first time and every possibilities that is offering the tool is really difficult to handle, this is not a tool that can be implemented so easily. You need to put really important rules of use if you don't want a chaos in your utilization. > > I really liked the tool, with a bit of preknowledge and time, you can handle the features that are interesting you and I was able quickly to do what I needed in different features but I quickly understood that I was using only 10% of the tool. ----- ### "overall feedback catia" — 4.0/5 > **julien** | *June 10, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I t can be recommended as very good software to deal with large assemblies and complex designs.
