CATIA V5 Engineering

Products continue to increase in complexity. Performance and quality targets become more demanding. It has become vital to gain early insight into the quality and performance key factors of a product. CATIA V5 provides this, enabling rapid development of high-quality mechanical products.

Mechanical engineers equipped with 3D Modeling tools can gain insight into key factors of quality and performance early in the product development phase. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its operating environment.

CATIA V5 Systems Engineering

CATIA V5 Systems Engineering integrates complex product behavior into the product definition, enabling a lifelike experience which predicts the actual performance of products in the real world.

Our Systems Engineering solution allows you to use many different models to simulate the behavior of complex systems and products. These models rarely interoperate with one another and don’t exist in an ‘aggregated’ environment that allows a ‘whole-system multi-physics simulation’ of the complete product. The Dassault Systèmes solution set provides a fully integrated systems modeling environment that leverages behavioral simulation for systems as well as for mechanical product assemblies.

CATIA V5 Product Experience

Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, CATIA V5 Product Experience brings together the Design, Functional, Engineering and Architectural characteristics of a product definition, to enable integration at the level of the complete product. It provides a social experience, where people of all roles and skills, generalist and specialist, come together to view, collaborate and review the overall project.

CATIA V5 Product Experience delivers value to address the real challenges of the industry.

• Connect online to one single source of truth
• Design easily in the context of large products with configurations
• Real time concurrent engineering with integrity, security & traceability
• Immediate project insight for all with 3D dashboards
• Multi-disciplinary collaboration on products & systems

All participants in the product development process can work with agility in the context of the complete product, always confident that the data is correct and up to date. This saves time, ensures that company standards are respected and accelerates the decision making due to real time collaboration: anywhere, anytime, anyhow. So natural is the system and the process flow enabled by CATIA V5 Product Experience, that users will embrace the solution as a catalyst for innovation.

CATIA V5 ICEM Surf Performance and Quality

ICEM Surf gives your product development teams the creative freedom and precision to combine artistic style and engineering performance in their designs. The result? Attractive but fully functional designs – developed quickly but without compromising on quality. That quality – in terms of both the design and the data model generated – is the reason why major automotive companies and design studios put their faith in ICEM Surf. In fact, when it comes to car manufacturing and consumer goods design and surface modeling, most of the big names are on the ICEM Surf customer list.
