The CATIA Systems Engineering solution delivers a unique open and extensible systems engineering development platform that fully integrates the cross-discipline modeling, simulation, verification and business process support needed for developing complex ‘cyber-physical’ products. CATIA supports multiple stages of product design whether started from scratch or from 2D sketches(blueprints). DesignĬATIA offers a solution to shape design, styling, surfacing workflow and visualization to create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes from industrial design to Class-A surfacing with the ICEM surfacing technologies. In the case of Aerospace engineering an additional module named the aerospace sheetmetal design offers the user combine the capabilities of generative sheetmetal design and generative surface design. It provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well as kinematics definition.ĬATIA provides a wide range of applications for tooling design, for both generic tooling and mold & die.

The software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing & BIW. CATIA facilitates collaborative engineering across disciplines around its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including surfacing & shape design, electrical, fluid and electronic systems design, mechanical engineering and systems engineering.ĬATIA facilitates the design of electronic, electrical, and distributed systems such as fluid and HVAC systems, all the way to the production of documentation for manufacturing.ĬATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheetmetal, composites, molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. Release history Name/VersionĬommonly referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite, CATIA supports multiple stages of product development ( CAx), including conceptualization, design ( CAD), engineering ( CAE) and manufacturing ( CAM).
In 2014, Dassault Systèmes launched 3DEXPERIENCE Platform R2014x and CATIA on the Cloud, a cloud version of its software. In 2012, Dassault Systèmes launched V6 2013x. In June 2011, Dassault Systèmes launched V6 R2012. In November 2010, Dassault Systèmes launched CATIA V6R2011x, the latest release of its PLM2.0 platform, while continuing to support and improve its CATIA V5 software.

While the server can run on Microsoft Windows, Linux or AIX, client support for any operating system other than Microsoft Windows was dropped. In 2008, Dassault Systèmes released CATIA V6. In the years prior to 2000, problems caused by incompatibility between versions of CATIA (Version 4 and Version 5) led to $6.1B in additional costs due to years of project delays in production of the Airbus A380. In 1998, V5 was released and was an entirely rewritten version of CATIA with support for UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP (since 2001). In 1996, it was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS, and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX. In 1992, CADAM was purchased from IBM, and the next year CATIA CADAM V4 was published. Also, Lockheed was selling its CADAM system worldwide through the channel of IBM since 1978. In 1990, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool to design the U.S.
In 1988, CATIA V3 was ported from mainframe computers to Unix.
In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA V2 as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its largest customer. Initially named CATI ( conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive – French for interactive aided three-dimensional design ), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created a subsidiary to develop and sell the software and signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with IBM. It was later adopted in the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and other industries.
