CATIA V5R18 in a nutshell
Composites Design and Review (CPD & CPR)
CATIA V5R18 further improves the quality of final composite parts, delivering a new composites analysis capability along with a new design review environment that provides access across the entire value chain to part specifications.
Enables effective Electronics CAD and Mechanical CAD design collaboration by strengthening the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design process, delivering new benefits to the hi-tech industry.
Electrical Harness Installation (EHI)
Electrical Harness Design performance is going one-step further by integrating knowledge early in the design process for significant quality improvements.
3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation (FTA)
Strengthens 3D Master representation and maximizes users’ productivity by allowing automatic creation of FT&A features.
Provides a final validation of the design thanks to a physically realistic simulation of the model appearance.
Consolidates functional modeling support for the design of complex machined parts extending this unique approach to more manufacturing processes
Cast & Forged Part Optimizer (CFO)
Powertrain and chassis designer benefit from superior productivity with breakthrough automatic-draft capabilities.
CATIA V5R18 extends the scope for multi-discipline 3D collaboration, extending applicative data support from within VPM Navigator to offer a superior design environment for CATIA users.
3DLive for CATIA brings 3D Functional Tolerancing & annotation into the reach of thousands non specialist CATIA users, spreading product information to virtually the complete extended enterprise.
“We've been able to take 80 years of airplane development knowledge and build that into CATIA V5 design tables that the engineers can use again and again.
