I completed my engineering now I would like to become strong in either Catia V5 or MathWorks. First I would like to know how often the Matlab&Simulink is used in aviation industry. I would also like to learn Catia V5 so could anyone give me suggestions on which software I should concentrate such that it should helpful for my career as an aircraft engineer. Also, what CAD softwares are useful to build a good career in aviation industry?
