CATIA V5 is the leading software solution for developing and defining completely digital product models. Thanks to its process-oriented scalability, CATIA V5 covers the entire product development process – from the initial concept all the way to product maintenance.
Almost all industry sectors can benefit from this solution. For example, the broad solutions portfolio optimizes interrelationships between the most diverse disciplines such as style and shape design, mechanical design, equipment and systems engineering, electrical, machining, but also DMU evaluations, analysis, simulation, functional dimensioning, and realistic visualization. Additionally, the open systems architecture permits the integration of custom-designed special applications and enterprise-specific add-ons.
Within the Dassault Systèmes PLM product family, CATIA V5 assumes the role of an authoring tool for business process-oriented product definitions. Together with the complementary Dassault Systèmes products ENOVIA VPLM, ENOVIA SmarTeam, ENOVIA MatrixOne, DELMIA and SIMULIA, it constitutes an integrated development platform for the definition and virtual simulation of products, processes and resources.
