CATIA V6 leverages the potential for innovation for companies of all sizes across all industries, providing revolutionary solutions for productivity improvement based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
CATIA V6 redefines CAD from a purely physical definition of a product and extends it from a digital mockup to a functional mockup, taking into account the many representations required for product development (i.e., requirements, functional, logical, and physical).
From aircraft to automobiles, industrial equipment, ships, and consumer appliances, the complexity of products and the systems that power them continues to increase. CATIA enables you to model and assemble complex products, defining and executing their control systems to manage this complexity and deliver products on time.
CATIA for Engineers enables the creation of digital prototypes, including analysis and simulation, to design and verify functionality and performance at all stages of design.
Mechanical engineering is complex because assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key quality and performance factors early in the product development process.
CATIA Experience combines the form, functional, engineering, and architectural characteristics of product definition, allowing all participants to integrate their experience with the digital product. CATIA Product Experience provides many elements that help people collaborate at the product interaction level when people sit together and analyze a common project. Ease of use, simple dashboards, powerful analysis, search, etc. provide the information needed so that managers and non-specialists can find and interact with the product information they need.
Creative design speaks directly to people's hearts. Creative designers need software tools that allow them to easily create and adjust the emotional content of a product through their designs, as well as collaborate with engineers to ensure that the product's functional capabilities are adequately covered.
Successful products on the market are usually those whose design evokes a positive emotional response from consumers. CATIA is at the service of creative designers and their creativity. By creating ideas in 3D from scratch or from 2D sketches, industrial designers can manipulate shapes with unmatched freedom and take advantage of a true creativity accelerator to explore more ideas in the early conceptual stage. CATIA fully implements the automotive Class A process, offering a surface refinement solution that integrates industry-leading ICEM surface processing technologies. Combining the strengths of V6 technology, including the paradigm of knowledge capture and reuse, it provides a powerful and intuitive set of tools for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing aesthetic and ergonomic shapes to achieve the highest A-class surface quality.
CATIA Systems Engineering integrates complex product behavior into product definition, providing a realistic experience that predicts actual performance.
With CATIA Systems Engineering, system architects, product engineers, designers, and technical experts define both technical and business aspects. The RFLP (requirements, functional, logical, and physical design) approach supports full traceability during product development and implementation. This helps bridge the gap between requirements analysis and selecting the right solution.
