CATIA Systems Architecture

From aircrafts to cars, industrial machinery, ships, and white goods, the complexity of the products and of the systems that keep them running is steadily increasing. How do you manage this complexity while delivering your products on time? CATIA enables you to model and compose complex products, while defining and executing their driving systems.

Developing complex systems and products on a unified collaborative platform

Appropriate system architecture are built and validated when delivering appealing products demands an open, extensible and versatile approach to give them the desired structure.

Dassault Systèmes offers a fully integrated architecture, modeling and simulation solution for systems and products. 

CATIA Systems Architecture solution ensures traceability from initial requirements definition through to final product delivery and support. It enables systems architects, product engineers, designers and technical experts to define the architecture and interdependencies of complex products and systems. This accelerates the systems engineering process from initial specification definition through to development, validation and right- to-market product delivery.

Integrated lifecycle management capabilities fully supports the creation, revising and versioning of the underlying systems architecture entities and artifacts, while knowledge definition and capture enables the automation and optimization of the processes.  The V6 real-time collaborative development environment further brings agility to a wide range of operations such as part design, part positioning and automated mechanisms creation for the fast and accurate creation of complex products.

CATIA facilitates the following processes for Systems Architecture:

Systems Architecture

Systems Architecture

Systems architects need to provide the structural definition of the system, including functional or structural relationships between its sub-systems, according to customer needs and technical requirements. The DS Systems Engineering solution enables them to define both the technical and business aspects of the systems engineering processes, shortening the time required from initial specification definition through to development and right- to-market delivery. In addition to the full traceability, early and comprehensive validation capabilities enable systems engineers to produce innovative designs more quickly, with a reduced need for costly rework that is often identified late in the development cycle.

Product Architecture

Product Architecture

Whether you are a casual user or a CAD-specialist, CATIA enables you to quickly create new designs or modify existing ones, even from other CAD solutions. From the sketching of an idea in 3D at a click of a mouse to the effective management of inter-part relations, design is made more natural with a direct editing modeler that integrates constraints. The V6 collaborative platform enables multiple users to work concurrently on the same assembly and to share and trade modifications at the object level, offering a truly concurrent design. Product creation can be automated and quality can be increased with know-how capture thanks to design templates and rule-based corporate standards.

Knowledge definition

Knowledge Architecture

Lengthy engineering changes are often the cause of delays and increased production costs. Companies need to capitalize their know-how with built-in knowledge templates to save time and focus on innovation. CATIA brings intelligent design templates that embed geometry and know-how to reuse with maximum security.
