Inventor vs. Back to Inventor Category. Back to Topic Listing Previous Next. Filter by Lables. Message 1 of What is the real difference between the capabilities of Inventor versus Catia or Unigraphics? Are the latter a more powerful tool??
Message 2 of A reminder that this is an Autodesk sponsored site for Inventor program questions, not for marketing issues. That said - do a search on the past discussions on this topic. Message 3 of I saw an add once where it showed a steel cleaning brush with toothpaste on it with a caption something like: wouldn't you use the right tool for the job?
Or another add with a dentist using a handheld drill, with a similar caption. I never used either, but like Anne said, you can do a search on the NG. Message 4 of What do you need to design?
Message 5 of I've used all three. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. For my current situation Inventor works. Message 6 of You pay alot more, you get alot more. Is it worth it? Depends what you need to do. If you do alot of Teir 1 automotive work, then it is most likely a requirement to have one of those packages, depending on what car company the work is for.
Also, note that those 2 packages are available for more platforms than just Windoz. Message 7 of Message 8 of But I hope he wouldn't consider contaminating an otherwise pleasing Inventor environment with one of those either. Message 9 of I work in a company that uses both all 3 programs. I use inventor myself. I've tried modeling some of the aerospace work, and it seems to work fine.
Are there functions in UG or Catia that Inventor is just not capable of doing? I'm just wondering if the extra cost of Catia or UG is worth it.
Message 10 of When you look at the body panelling on a new waxed car you will notice how the light will run accross the body without jumping. Congratulations and good luck in your adapting to a much more powerful technology than you have experienced in the 2D world! Once you get comfortable with it, you'll never look back.
I would hope that Unigraphics is becoming the industry standard, by in my opinion it is a very regional thing. It will take time, patience, and at times will be frustrating for you, but it certainly will be worth it. Aside from being much more productive it is also a much more fun way to get your work accomplished, with far less errors. I have worked on Unigraphics for 20 years, always doing 3D. It really wasn't much of a struggle for me to do 3D.
You may want to do an Internet search about the history of Unigraphics. It is without limits. But the problem is that there is just so much to learn on it, and you will probably never learn everything.
Within the last several years it has been made more like the others CAD packages with the use of icons and toolbars, so that makes it more easy to learn In the "help" pulldown use the "command finder" and enter the command that you will use in AutoCAD and it will tell you what to use in Unigraphics NX. It is very helpful. As far as I am concerned your company has made a very smart decision. Thanks a lot for all the enthusiastic replies. The consensus seems to be that UG is truly a "powerful tool.
I am not intimidated in the slightest by a complex system, I am eager to learn all I can about it and be the resident expert. My plant manager has also talked about sending us to training classes in Boston so I'm sure that will also be very beneficial. Yes, do not skimp on the training. It will probably help for you to do the on-line training on your own before attending the class.
I think it costs something extra but it's worth it. Also check if there is an NX users group in your area. It always helps to network with others because they all have been down the path that you are going. Don't hesitate to ask questions on here. Thanks, Jerry. While I'm of the younger generation who is internet savvy, I haven't had any experience really seeking out usergroups. How would I go about finding a users group for NX? What a shame, John.
