CATIA for Systems Engineering

From aircrafts to cars, industrial machinery, ships, and white goods, the complexity 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 define, execute, analyze and produce complex systems.

Developing complex systems on a unified collaborative platform

The systems engineering solution from Dassault Systèmes (DS) covers the Requirements Management, Functional, Logical and Physical design processes on a single integrated platform that enables traceability from initial requirements definition through to final product delivery and support. The DS integrated systems engineering platform enables you to capture customer needs and technical requirements, define systems architecture, model and validate systems behavior and manage embedded software.

 

The DS Systems Engineering solution enables systems architects, product engineers, designers and technical experts 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. 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.

CATIA facilitates the following systems engineering processes:

Systems Architecture

Systems engineering starts with the structural definition of the system, including functional or structural relationships between its parts. CATIA provides the capabilities to define the functional breakdown of the system in order to identify various functionalities that the system can achieve. Systems architects can also define a logical model to execute and analyze technological solutions corresponding to these functionalities.

Systems Modeling Solutions Libraries

Our solution enables systems engineers to execute and analyze system or sub-systems models, while mixing dynamic and state logic behaviors, by using the open source Modelica language. Modelica makes it possible for users to generate deterministic behavior and reuse modular components. The Modelica Standard Library 3.0, which contains mechanics, thermal, electricity including electronics, fluidics and control components, greatly improves collaboration across engineers of various disciplines.

Embedded Systems Software

Our embedded software management capabilities enables system architect to define, simulate and generate C-code for any control systems. The compiler is based on a technology, which is widely used in aerospace industry, to produce safety critical embedded software. Our solution comes with a set of editors including Grafcet, Statechart and Dataflow to enable components re-use as well as dynamic type and unit propagation.
