Which Mechanical design software is the best?

August 05, 2022

         Hello Friends, welcome to “Learn mechanical design from Rahul.” Myself Rahul. I am a Mechanical Engineer and a blogger as well. I have recently started my blogging journey. I feel like sharing my experiences through blogs with you. Blogging was my passion for a very long but recently I have started taking steps toward writing. 

                   I have completed my Mechanical engineering from Khargone. It’s in M.P. After that I joined a company where I started working in the Production and quality department. After working for 3 years in the Production and Quality field I started feeling stuck. So as every Engineer do I also did a certification course. That course was in Mechanical Design.

                  In less than one year I became a certified Mechanical Design Engineer. And in that 1 year, I fell in love with Mechanical designs. And after that, I did all my jobs in the design field only. Because when you like something from your heart “ये दिल मांगे more.” Now for the past 2 years, I am doing and enjoying my job in the Mechanical Design field. This blog is just a way of expressing my love for Mechanical Designs.

                So let’s talk more about Mechanical design now. If you are reading my blog for the first time make sure you follow my blogger page right there on the left side of this page.

                 Mechanical design is the basic term for engineering design. Mechanical design is to design parts, components, products, or systems of mechanical nature. For example, designs of various machine elements such as shafts, bearings, clutches, gears, and fasteners and automobile parts such as bus parts, car parts, truck parts, train parts, and airplane parts fall into the scope of mechanical design.

 There are many types of the domain used in mechanical design such as-

1.    sheet metal

2.    plastics

3.    body in white (BIW).

There are many types of materials used in the design of mechanical parts such as-

1.    Cast iron 

2.    Stainless steel

3.    Plastic

4.    Metal

5.    Rubber

6.    Mild steel

And to implement our work in these many areas there are various 2D and 3D software used.

There are many types of 2D & 3D software used in the design of mechanical parts such as- 

Two dimensional-

  1.     Autocad

Three dimensional-

  1.   CATIA
  2.   UG-NX
  3.   SOLIDWORK
  4.   CRE-O
  5.   AUTODESK INVENTOR
  6.   SKETCH-UP
  7.   SOLIDEDGE
  8.   FUSION 360

Analysis software-

  1.   ANSYS


                   One of the most common question people ask me when we discuss about Mechanical design software is what system configuration is required to run this heavy software.

                    This is the system requirement for running CATIA, UG-NX, SOLID WORK, AUTODESK INVENTOR, SKETCH-UP, SOLID EDGE, AND FUSION 360 are….

System configuration-

  1.       Processor- 2.10 GHz or higher (i3, i5, i7, and ryzen 5)
  2.       Memory (RAM) - 8 GB to 16 GB
  3.       Graphics Card- NVIDIA GTX 4GB
  4.       Operating system – Windows 8,8.1,10,11
  5.       SSD- 256 GB to 512 GB

                      And I generally suggest SSD. SSD is new technology compared to HDD. You may complain about cost but if you want the best results then you have to invest some money. Go for SSD and trust me you will not regret it.

                       The 2nd most asked question to me is which is the best software for designing. According to me, CATIA is the best software in the Mechanical design field. This software is developed by DASSAULT SYSTEMS. This is a French-based company. CATIA is a 2D drafting and 3D modeling software. It is used for CAD, CAM, and CAE. CAD means Computer aided designing, CAM means Computer-aided manufacturing and CAE means Computer-aided engineering. The license version of CATIA cost up to 7-10 lacks one time. Many giant companies are already using this software. This software is mainly used by companies working in plastic product design.



                         it is used for part design, sheet metal, plastic part design, assembly, and drafting. it is used in various types of a company such as automobile parts manufacturing companies (bus design, trucks design, car design ).catia is used mainly by plastic product design companies. CATIA software is used in MNC companies because it is costly in price.

            Here is a diagram showing in which field CATIA is used. This diagram will tell you a lot of things. The full form of CATIA is a computer Aided Three Dimensional interactive application.





CATIA= “COMPUTER-AIDED THREE-DIMENSIONAL INTERACTIVE APPLICATION"




                         As I told you I am going to share my experiences here with you about Mechanical Design Software. We are starting with CATIA. In my next blog, I will help you understand the user interface of CATIA. It looks like this. Take a look at the next diagram.
