Selecting either “Submarine in School” or “Formula1 in Schools” as your challenge is required.

There is an approval process which involves signing up, entering details and receiving a confirmation email which teaks around 24-48 hours.

Following approval, users will then be permitted to download software packages including CATIA.

A windows computer is required for CATIA. Access to web-based CAD is available on all platforms.

• Access to CATIA software
• Access to CFD tools

The package is a professional CAD package used by leading industry including Tesla, Toyota, Boeing and many more. The capabilities are far beyond what is required for the competition but students will have access to many tools.
