Similar to CATIA V5, CATIA V6 is divided into different areas:

• CATIA Analysis: environment for performance realistic simulation and virtual product behavior testing.
• CATIA Equipment: end-to-end solution for designing and documenting electrical, electronical and electromechanical components in all industries.
• CATIA Knowledge: accelerating company’s processes while ensuring compliance with its best practices and taking advantage of its collective know-how.
• CATIA Mechanical: creation of any type of 3D parts, from molded and forged parts, machined parts, sheetmetal parts, etc. including functional tolerances and annotations directly specified in 3D.
• CATIA Shape: productive environment for the design of all kinds of shapes and freeform surfaces.
• CATIA Systems: central simulation platform for the hybrid multi-disciplinary simulation with focus on the logical and functional properties of the physical product.

• Global collaborative innovation

  Broadens CATIA usage beyond designers to casual users within and outside the engineering department. Ground-breaking collaboration tools enable 3D brainstorming within the community of PLM users, to reach a new level of innovation.

• Lifelike experience

  CATIA introduces a paradigm shift to enable first-life experience and brings 3D product design to life with unmatched realism. In addition, CATIA V6 offers compelling simplicity and efficiency with in-context 3D manipulators and natural 3D operations.

• Single PLM platform for IP management

  Harnesses collective intelligence, making the always up-to-date product definition accessible to the various communities from anywhere, at any time. Facilitates multidiscipline collaboration among designers, engineering users, and manufacturing users from one unique IP repository, making the company knowledgeware assets available for all participants. The granular rights management ensures that only authorized persons have access to the information.

• Online creation and collaboration

  CATIA V6 includes PLM components that provide multi-discipline engineering and concurrent development to ensure basic innovations. Complex assembly files and the extensive management of part references, drawings and products will soon belong to the past.

• Multi-discipline product definition

  With CATIA Systems in V6 new engineering disciplines are addressed to describe the product data model with its functional logical and physical specifications. This significantly increases the informational content and ensures the traceability of all requirements and their implementation from the concept to the finished product.

• Ready to use PLM business processes

  Through the constant, industry- and process-oriented extension of the CATIA V6 product portfolio now also further industries such as consumer products, packaging and high-tech industry benefit from the "out of the box" solutions.

• Lower cost of ownership

  The consolidation of different IT systems that are now used throughout the product lifecycle into the open Service Oriented Architecture of the V6 platform ensures a high level of integration and reduces cost of ownership.
