I use Catia V5, but I have used the programs you do in the past.



Catia has a pretty strong presence, at least on the structures side.

We build alot of dies for honda, nissan, etc.. they use catia, tough files to import, we have one seat of it but never use it.

What did you use SW & Pro-E for at your 1st job ?

Reverse engineering. I used a 6 DOF coordinate measuring machine interface with SolidWorks. We took aircraft parts, created high tolerance computer models, and animated tech manuals for the Army. I did straight design work with Pro-E.

Did it for about a year before I moved on. I liked the work, just got bored with it pretty quick. Took a job elsewhere where I really started the career I am in now.

I haven't done structures in forever, I can believe it though. I always hear UG, Catia, and Pro-E when I work with designers now.

I'm an attorney by hobby. I went to court and successfully litigated my way out of 7 speeding tickets over the last 8 years. :)

3 questions:

Interested in relocating?

Are you dead-set on doing structural design?

Do you mind working with a bunch of obnoxious Bammers?

PM me if you want.

I'm surrounded by obnoxious bammers too (florence, al) and I want to relocate to Knoxville, Tn, but Huntsville would do.

Hmmmm. Seems 99% of the folks who have a degree do something totally different & unrelated. What's the point?

Knoxville would be sweet, but there is absolutely nothing there for me on the defense side.

A degree just opens doors mostly. It tells employers you aren't a complete moron (although after almost 10 years in industry, I find fault with this logic), demonstrates work ethic, and shows that you can teach yourself what you need to know.

Not saying those without degrees don't have those qualities, but that is just the name of the game.

Case in point for my previous post. I have mad respect for guys like you.

Word of advice to all young engineers just starting out...if you really need to know something, skip the PhD down the hall and go straight to the machine guys. I have found they know more than the office types will ever know when it comes to practical knowledge and actually getting something done.

If you aircraft designers had to work on them, you'd change your design. I worked on aircraft for over 20 yrs. and cussed when i had to remove 6 parts to change 1. What should be a 30 min. job took 4 hours, plus op's and leak checks.

I'm convinced excel can solve world hunger. It can do just about anything.

Lol I have actually cursed engineers while removing and reinstalling an entire gearbox just to change out a pushrod.
