    3DEXPERIENCE CATIA

    Go beyond 3D CAD design to foster innovation across the extended enterprise.

    3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Overview

    3DEXPERIENCE® CATIA is Dassault Systèmes’ leading solution for cloud-based product design, engineering, systems development, and construction. It brings together powerful 3D modeling, simulation, collaboration, and data management tools in a unified environment to support the full product lifecycle. Previously known as CATIA V6, this next-generation solution enables faster innovation, enhanced traceability, and real-time collaboration across disciplines. It is used by companies developing complex and high-performance products to improve decision-making and reduce development cycles.

    Key Capabilities

    Key Capabilities:

    • Creative DesignCollaborate in a unified environment to intuitively explore and visualize 3D concepts, from sketching and freeform sculpting to algorithm-driven parametric design, with virtual human context, real-time rendering, and immersive experiences throughout product development.
    • Surface RefinementCreate high-quality Class A surfaces using industry-leading ICEM Surf curve and surface modeling tools, with full design freedom in an intuitive, ergonomically optimized interface.
    • V+R Product ExperiencePerform precise, immersive design reviews with realistic rendering and virtual prototyping, leveraging lifelike CATIA visualization.
