This section is your entry point to product documentation in the CATIA brand. CATIA is the Dassault Systemes Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for digital product definition and simulation.
CATIA delivers a world-leading solution for 3D products, providing a life-like experience and putting collaborative 3D innovation at the heart of the extended enterprise.
Product documentation is grouped by solution for easier access. All solutions are built on Client Collaborative Platform.
CATIA Live Shape
CATIA Live Shape is a direct editing modeler which enables hybrid modeling such as solid, surface or wireframe modeling. The seamless integration with a feature-based modeler enables you to reuse your conceptual designs as preliminary shapes in other traditional workbenches for further detailed design.
Systems
Provides a set of products allowing simultaneous design and integration of electrical, fluid and mechanical systems within a 3D digital mock-up. Systems enriches your product design in any industry.
Shape
Delivers a highly productive environment to easily capture and express shape design intent. Shape provides a complete set of tools to create, validate and modify any shape type - from freeform styled surfaces to smooth mechanical shapes - in a collaborative way.
Mechanical
Built on a single integrated infrastructure, Mechanical provides a completes set of tools to create any type of 3D part - from molded parts, forged parts, machined parts and sheetmetal parts to mechanical assemblies - in a collaborative way.
Equipment
Provides a set of products allowing simultaneous design and integration of electrical, fluid and mechanical systems within a 3D digital mock-up.
Knowledgeware
Knowledgeware provides a set of tools that helps designers define, reuse and share their know-how throughout the extended enterprise. In V6, Knowledgeware supports the lifecycle management of the know-how that is reused in engineering and manufacturing activities.
Knowledgeware is also tailored to support customer business processes, enabling customization of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) behaviors and applications through business rules.
Simulation
Simulation solutions provide an environment that allows a team to perform and manage simulations. Simulations investigate the realistic response of models under various scenarios. Simulations generate crucial intellectual property for improving product performance, reducing physical prototyping, and driving innovation.
Simulation products extend traditional Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) concepts by providing tools to create and execute realistic simulations, as well as PLM capabilities that are specific to simulations and simulation results.
