CATIA

Boosting Innovation for Product Design Excellence.

CATIA, our flagship PLM solution, is the world’s leading solution for product design excellence. It addresses all manufacturing organizations, from OEMs through their supply chains, to small independent producers.

CATIA can be applied to a wide variety of industries, from aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery, to electronics, shipbuilding, plant design, and consumer goods. Today, CATIA is used to design anything from an airplane to jewelry and clothing.

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.

In 2006, the automotive giant Ford Motor Company designated CATIA V5 as the global design and engineering standard for new vehicles, extending further CATIA’s already deep commitment to this market. And British inventor Morag Hutcheon of the design consultancy Quadro used CATIA V5 to develop an innovative CD jewel case which won her Britain’s 2006 Female Innovator & Inventor of the Year award.

CATIA PLM Express

2006 saw the very promising launch of CATIA PLM Express, a flexible and easy-to-use solution designed to bring the power of CATIA and collaborative design management to companies of all sizes. Based on 25 years of close relationships with customers and partners, this solution offers a simple and scalable approach to PLM, perfectly adapted to the business needs and organizations of engineering companies in all industries.

CATIA Systems

The CATIA Systems strategy, putting embedded systems modeling at the heart of CATIA, was presented in early 2006. This new platform will help customers model, simulate, and manage the lifecycle of simple to complex systems.
