Hi readers, Thank you for being with us and supporting us by more and more number of page views. As you can see our Mechanical Engineering portal is becoming famous day by day ,it’s all because of you guys . If you like our posts then please do share with your friends.Many Engineers ask me question about Mechanical software list and which software is best for design ,which course should I join after AutoCad ?

Here I am Going to list some important mechanical Software. This list may not be perfect because in market there are lots of software are available as well as every company requirement packages are different .

Here’s a list of software generally used by Mechanical Engineers.

Design: CATIA, SolidWorks, Pro-E

Every Mechanical Engineer is expected to have a good grip on designing. They use it heavily in most of the fields like Automobile Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Tool Design, etc. Also with the advancement of Rapid Prototyping and 3-d Printing, they are becoming more visible to the outer world as one can see how exactly your product looks like in just a few hours.

Auto Cad: 

AutoCAD has a user-friendly interface and includes many tools to design complex parts in 2D and 3D. The files can be exported to CAM software for analysis.
Create,edit,polylines,curve cutting and many more commands are there that you used in Autocad.It is available in different versions starting from Autocad version 1.0 which is the first version to The most latest version Autocad 2015.

SolidWorks 3D CAD

General purpose CAD software with a user-friendly interface, for making parts in 2D and 3D.
SolidWorks is a 3D mechanical Computer Aided Design (CAD) program or application software that runs on Microsoft windows.

Pro/Engineer Wildfire / Creo Parametric

Software with enhanced features and tools to design, sketch, assemble, weld, draw etc . There are various versions present from Pro/ENGINEER 8.3 (which is first and developed in 1987) to Creo Paramatric 34.0 (which is latest version of 2013).In between there are 25 more versions are there.

CATIA

• CATIA stands For Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application.
• It is a multi platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software suite that is developed  by the french company Dassault Systemes.CATIA is commonly referred to as a 3D product lifecycle management software suite.facilitates true collaborative engineering across the multidisciplinary extended enterprise, including style and form design, mechanical design and equipment and systems engineering, managing digital mock-ups, machining, analysis, and simulation.
• CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheet metal, composites, moulded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies.
• Most of the Aerospace companies used the CATIA softwares for designing their aircrafts.
• Versions-There are three versions present

CATIA-V3
CATIA-V4
CATIA-V5
CATIA-V6

Instrumentation: LabView
