Catapults were used mainly in the event of a siege of a town/city with defensive walls. A catapult could hurl a large object to far distances, therefore it was used to hurl big boulders against walls in order to destroy it. Catapults however wasn't very usual during the medieval times, the more effective Trebuchet was more common, which is a 'more advanced catapult' you could say.
Note that around mid 13th century the cannon was standardized and the use of non-handheld mechanical device designed to hurl an object without the aid of an explosive substance was more or less abandoned.
