What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: Course Requisites: 3D Functional Tolerancing and Annotation
- This module includes the conventions and environment details for the course content.
Lesson 2: Introduction to FTA
- In this module, you will be introduced to the Functional Tolerancing and Annotation workbench that allows defining 3D tolerance specifications and annotations directly on 3D shapes.
Lesson 3: Managing User Settings
- In this module, you will learn where to manager using settings and what is available to be set.
Lesson 4: Creating Annotations Using Tolerancing Advisor
- In this module, you will learn how to use the Tolerancing Advisor command to create annotations.
Lesson 5: Creating and Managing FTA Annotations
- In this module, you will learn how to create annotations, views and captures.
- You will also learn how to generate a check report.
Lesson 6: Creating Geometry for 3D Annotations
- In this module, you will learn how to create construction geometries for 3D annotations.
- You will also learn about managing geometry connection
Lesson 7: Managing Advanced Functions
- In this module, you will learn how to create restricted areas, datum targets and annotations for thread representations.
- You will also learn to create knowledge formulas on tolerances.
Training Methods
Choose from three different training methods available to you
Group / Classroom Training
Receive CATIA V5 3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation training in a group in a traditional classroom environment. Courses can be taken in one of our training locations in the UK, Ireland, US or Canada using DS approved training content and methodologies.
Advantages
- Cost effective training method.
- Leave the office to concentrate on learning.
- Learn more through group questions and feedback.
Live Online Training
With online training you will experience an interactive learning environment where you can give feedback, gain access to the training files and get time to work on training exercises.
Advantages
- Online courses can maximise convenience and save on travel expenses.
- More effective than video based training, with recorded videos learners are often not as focused on the training and skip exercises.
On-Site Training
Receive training at your place of work. This style of flexible training is perfect for teams or individuals who are faced with a specific challenge and require personalized courses with on-the-job coaching.
Advantages
- Use our state-of-the-art mobile classroom at your facility.
- Bring your team up to a consistent level of knowledge by having them take the same training at the same time.
- Benefit from flexible scheduling options.
