CATIA

Industry Leading Product Design Solutions

CATIA by Dassault Systèmes is the world’s leading solution for integrated Product Design, Engineering and Systems Engineering. The software is scalable and can support thousands of users working on different systems in a single model in real-time.

CATIA has the most diverse range of Disciplines to support the most unique and complex designs and ensure those designs can be built – surfaces, sheet metal, composites, kinematics, welding, plumbing, wiring, moulds, tooling, large-scale assemblies, and more – all integrated within a single platform.

Whether it is an aircraft, bridge, building, automobile or a piece of furniture, bring better quality products to market faster with CATIA’s advanced design automation features.

Integrated with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform design changes can be implemented in minutes or hours for even the most complex designs, compared to days or weeks using current methods.  Deliver better quality products faster and at lower cost using CATIA’s parametric and design automation capabilities.

Success Story

With CATIA, we implemented a full 3D Master approach to design the electrical harness installation for the A350 XWB, which simplifies the process and improves overall design quality

Antoine Scotto
Head of the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) program for the A350 XWB at Airbus

Airbus

For the development of its new wide body aircraft, the A350 XWB, Airbus needed a way to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders worldwide to meet aggressive production ramp-up targets and customer commitments.

Airbus uses Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE applications for design, simulation and manufacturing on a single platform, where employees and suppliers collaborate in real-time on a unique digital mockup. 

Collaborating on the latest and most up-to-date product information has enabled Airbus to reduce design and manufacturing time and errors, and increase design quality, thus keeping the A350 XWB program on target.

CATIA FAQs

I do not currently have a CAD tool, and my designs are paper-based and 2D. What options are there to quickly make my designs 3D in CATIA?

CATIA has sophsticated reverse engineering capabilities. You can bring into CATIA your physical designs by scanning them with 3D scanner technologies (CMMs, Laser scanners, industrial CT scanning, etc.) and the platform reconstructing it as a 3D model, which you can further refine.

What differentiates CATIA from other CAD tools?

CATIA was born from the Aerospace world and is well suited to designing large and complex assemblies. Some of the key benefits are:

  • Stability and performance for larger assemblies, where other CAD tools will crash and have performance issues, Catia will remain stable.
  • Catia is well suited to designing complex structures , especially surfaces, but also there are applications on electrical design, sheet metals, and material testing. 
  • Saving time in the designing process through parametric and design automation capabilities
  • Tightly integrated with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform allowing you to leverage the capabilities of collaboration and simulation the platform offers.
