RAND Worldwide Launches 2009 LIVE Learning Series Schedule for CATIA V5 R19
RAND Worldwide announced that its Technical Training division launched the 2009 schedule for its weekly eLearning sessions known as the “Live Learning Series.” In addition, three new eLearning classes have been added to the schedule:
• What’s New in CATIA V5 R19
• Bill of Materials and Balloons
• CATIA V5 Batch Utility
RAND’s Live Learning Series is a sequence of live, Expert-Led classes delivered over the Internet on a weekly schedule.
They are designed to complement RAND Worldwide’s classroom learning by providing in-depth looks at a specific CATIA subject. The topics addressed in each class are based on top issues and challenges identified by users who have contacted the RAND Solution Center, as well as from suggestions submitted by registered students.
The 2009 schedule begins with the new course What’s New in CATIA V5 R19 which will cover some of the major enhancements introduced in the Mechanical Design Workbenches of CATIA V5 Release 19 including, Part, Product, Wireframe and Surface, and Drafting.
The Bill of Materials and Balloons class will cover Bill of Materials functionality, customization through standards, and how to populate a drawing with the BOM table and balloons.
CATIA V5 Batch Utility provides users with a variety of tools to automate the export of multiple CATIA V5 files through a single action. This class provides users with information on how to create and run batch programs for data exchange, CATDUAV5, plotting through batch and Downward Compatibility.
“These eLearning classes not only help CATIA V5 users increase their productivity with the software, but also provide the added convenience of easily accessible, expert-led training,” said Joe Oswald, Executive Vice President, PLM Operations North America and Europe, RAND Worldwide. “With the addition of new classes being added to the schedule we are able to offer our clients continuous, year-long learning opportunities.”
Each online class within the Live Learning Series runs between 45-60 minutes, and enables students to interact with a live, expert instructor who facilitates, instructs, and demonstrates the lesson as well as answers questions and supplies feedback in real time. The instructor executes lessons from their desktop while students participate from their own computer.
