Multidisciplinary Approach

CATIA provides a multidisciplinary approach when it comes to product design and development. It addresses the specific needs of various disciplines to improve how organizations and companies conceive, realize, and develop new products.

Product Design And Styling

As an example, the product design software offers advanced surface modeling capabilities to transportation and industrial designers. Because of this, they will be able to analyze and visualize aesthetic and ergonomic shapes to achieve the highest Class-A surface quality.

Creative designers can also access a set of tools that permits them to create and explore conceptual ideas. Using a unique 3D sketching technology, they can import 2D sketches and come up with design ideas. Likewise, virtual experience designers can produce high-quality renderings using global illumination, and reflections and shadows that are physically correct.

Engineering

CATIA allows mechanical engineers to gain insights into the factors that affect the performance and quality of mechanical products through the aid of its 3D modeling tools. What’s great about this is that they will be to obtain such insights early in the product development process.They can develop and analyze mechanical products in their operating environments through digital prototyping, analysis, and simulation.

Systems Engineering

To facilitate the creation and validation of complex systems and products, CATIA delivers a development platform to systems engineers and architects, and developers which combines cross-discipline modeling, simulation, verification, and business process support. CATIA provides them with the ability to integrate embedded systems and 3D design processes so they can better simulate complex systems and products.

In addition, through requirements engineering, they will be able to ensure compliance with market requirements and regulations, and at the same time reduce the overall cost of system and product development.

Collaborative 3D Environment

CATIA is built with a collaborative 3D environment which permits users and stakeholders to be actively involved in the design process anywhere and anytime. This design environment can be accessed through 3D dashboards, and it serves as a single source of truth.

As an example, designers can interact with other departments and collaborate with people from different locations around the world to boost  design innovation. In the same manner, systems engineers and architects can collaborate across all disciplines as they design and develop the components and functions of complex systems.
