Enabling Rapid Development of High-Quality Mechanical Products
Supporting a Wide Range of Engineering Processes
As products and experiences continue to increase in complexity, performance and quality targets are becoming more demanding. CATIA answers that challenge, enabling the rapid development of high-quality mechanical products.
Mechanical engineers equipped with CATIA 3D Modeling tools can gain insight into key factors of quality and performance early in the product development phase. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its operating environment.
CATIA Engineering provides the platform, which enables engineers to create any type of 3D assembly, for a wide range of engineering processes.
CATIA Engineering Key Benefits
Model Anything
CATIA is known for its high geometric accuracy. It is so robust; engineers can quickly iterate without the model failing.
Reuse Geometry
CATIA makes working with MultiCAD data easy and supports reverse engineering.
Work on Large Assemblies
3DEXPERIENCE CATIA ensures efficient assembly design and fast retrieval of large assemblies.
Manage Product Data and Adapt to Differing Needs
3DEXPERIENCE CATIA integrates PLM, so engineers never leave the design environment
Learn It Easily
Contextual menus, streamlined commands, action pad, and consistent logic enhance user efficiency
Realizing Productivity Gains
With 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA's superior modeling and assembly management capabilities, engineers can expect to see a 20% to 50% gain in productivity. Then, if you complement it with the unified modeling and simulation environment and powerful design for manufacturability capabilities, and tie it all together with integrated data management on a collaboration platform, you can expect an additional 30% productivity improvement, depending on your usage and industry. Explore the following disciplines.
CATIA Engineering software products are packaged as Roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to get you up to speed faster and work more efficiently with all needed applications available at your fingertips. Select a package that corresponds to your role in an organization.
How to optimize your design with MODeling & SIMulation ?
MODSIM unifies modeling and simulation on a common data model within a single user experience on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The goal is to consider the whole product development process and break down barriers.
With products becoming more complex, the faster you can validate your product by simulation, the more time you’ll have to find the best innovative technical solution. MODSIM enables a simulation-empowered shift-left strategy that pulls verification and validation upfront in the concept phase of the design. The design engineer can investigate multiple design options and select the one closest to the requirement specification. Engineering decisions are facilitated by visualizing physical simulation variants of multiple 3D model alternatives. By using the so-called Design Of Experience process, the design engineer reduces the risk of late-stage failures and reworks.
3DEXPERIENCE is a game changer for us as we’re able to design and iterate at speed, bringing all our expertise together in one place to come up with the best solutions.
