• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Industrial machinery
• Electronics, shipbuilding
• Plant design
• Consumer goods

With the power and functional range to address the complete product development process, CATIA supports product engineering, from initial specification to product-in-service, in a fully-integrated manner. It facilitates reuse of product design knowledge and shortens development cycles, helping enterprises to accelerate their response to market needs.

CATIA V6

CATIA V6 leverages the capacity of innovation for companies of all sizes in all industries by delivering breakthrough productivity design solutions powered by a highly collaborative platform.

CATIA V6 redefines CAD from the purely physical product definition and expands it from digital mock-up to functional mock-up taking into account the multiple views that necessitates the product development (i.e. requirement, functional, logical and physical). Designed to operate on a PLM 2.0 platform, CATIA V6 is a 3D collaborative solution linking designers and non-CAD specialists.

CATIA V6R2011x delivers complete support for automotive and aerospace fastening processes in an industry-first, fully integrated fashion across all PLM domains. It delivers an automated process for designing and developing flexible circuit boards, providing a collaborative design approach with electronic CAD systems via efficient design change management. The new CATIA Live Rendering solution progressively refines the rendering of a design as it is being manipulated until the desired level of the desired level of photo-realistic visualization is achieved. CATIA Generative 3D Wire Harness, a new product in V6R2011x, unifies in a single workflow the logical definition of wire harnesses and their physical mock-ups.
