RE: catia vs solidworks

I love these threads...

RE: catia vs solidworks

The difference is about $30,000 US for the same functionality you get for $7K US.  Let your fingers do the walking otherwise you will most likely start another comparison war....then we will be fighting over whos extrusion is better or I can do that in three mouse clicks.

Difference.

Answer: $20,000 per seat, or so.
You have seen the paths to search; good luck. If the decision goes the other way, do not be too upset unless you are a profit sharing, employee owned company.

RE: catia vs solidworks

What an interesting set of replies.
Sorry Heckler, but I don't think that you get the same functionality in SW as you can in Catia.
Personally I hated Catia (v4), but from what I've seen there is no way you could model an entire aeroplane in
Solid Works !!
Yes there is a huge difference in cost that puts it out of reach of most companies, but it's one CAD solution that will do anything.
Catia V5 now has a much lower STARTING price - around £8k I believe.
