Hi guys Has anyone had any experience of creating professional videos with CATIA models? Has anyone got any ideas what program was used to create this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUipGlWHWFc The model is deffinatly CATIA. Thanks

Thanks for all your feedback, it is good to interact with people who work in the trade. I have had time to look into things a bit more and although I enjoy design work, I think a stress analyst role is more likely to keep my brain occupied for longer. I am the sort of person that quickly gets...

Thanks everyone, there is some good points for me to consider. I think I will aim at a stress analyst role. I really enjoy design but this has all bought back memories of a project I worked on within the university as a designer and I was constantly being refered to as the CAD monkey. Hopefully...

Thanks guys, there was some interesting points. I have tried endlessly to get into a aircraft conceptual design office and have given up as there just doesn't seem to be the oppertunities over here in the UK as there is in the US. The US seem to refuse to even consider your application if you...

Hello all I have been trying to land my first role as an aircraft structural designer but am really struggling. I was just wondering how everybody else managed to get started ? I have a BEng in Mechanical Engineering, a MSc in Aircraft Design and a PhD in Aircraft design. However, all the jobs...

My experience of BAE Systems is that they are all over you and are promising you jobs when they want you to do some work for them. After you have finished, they act like they have never heard of you and certainly don't recall ever offering you a job. I do know of some decent guys there though...

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. To be honest with you, I live very close to Rolls Royce in Derby but I will not apply to them anymore as I have had bad experiences with their HR department not reading the application forms properly.

Hi guys. Some interesting thoughts for me to consider. I have had another thought. I am also considering the prospect of working in aicraft maintenance as I know that there is a shortage of licensed engineers. Before doing my degrees I worked as a car body repairer for a number of years so have...

Thanks guys, it is really good to get some thoughts from people who have been through the process. I have got my heart set on working on conceptual design and from the discussions, I think the best way for me to get anywhere near this is on UAV projects in small companies. I just don't feel...

Hi all I appreciate that you need to start at the bottom and work up but am also affraid of starting off in component design, never progressing and ending up in the same role for the rest of my career. I could have just stopped at the masters degree if I wanted to go down that route. I guess I...

Thanks for your thoughts, there was some interesting comments. I will deffinatly have a look at UAV's and drones. When we all start out on our chosen career it is impossible to predict in what shape that industry will be in when we finish. Who could have predicted the global recession ? I did...

Hello all My question is, Why do universities invest so much time in teaching aerospace students how to design aircraft from scratch when it is extremely unlikely that they will ever land such a role in industry ? Myself, I have studied aircraft conceptual design at both masters degree level...
