New to Design and looking for direction

New to Design and looking for direction

New to Design and looking for direction

(OP)
Hello all,

I am looking for some direction on what king of training I should move forward in. With me being new and not knowing what the capabilities of CAD, unigraphics and/or catia etc..are.

Right now I work as an electrical fields service engineer, I work with automation, conveyors, robots, machines and Drawing electrical prints.

So I want to draw, simulate and design such things as conveyors and robot cells. I have seen animations on Catia Kinematics although I do not know what that even does. I just started working with Draftsite but that is just a free software. So if I were to want to move forward in this field should I just take a beginner catia V5 course and then go into..what?

Any expert advice would be much appreciated.
Thank You!
Bill
