CATIA for Construction

The design and engineering processes for construction requires close collaboration among multiple participants across all project phases. Additionally, increasingly complex construction projects require that all teams rely on 3D as a common language to facilitate collaboration and reduce rework between phases.

CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE allows architects and engineers to build beyond the limits of traditional project delivery methods by delivering a range of 3D modelling solutions that span all design and engineering phases. This allows for complete digital continuity for diverse project teams on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

• Robust, industry-specific roles and applications to design and engineer buildings and infrastructure
• Create high-level detail models fully compliant with industry standards (IFC)
• Design for fabrication by developing models that conform to prefabrication or industrialized construction methods
• Geolocate the model and manage the construction project in the context of the city or territory
• Generate associative 2D documents from the 3D model
• Extract complete Bill of Materials (BOMs) from the construction model
• Collaborate with external partners and consultants by importing various file types to integrate into the master model
• Capitalise on accumulated knowledge by reusing templates and best practices across all projects

CATIA for Engineering

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 Modelling 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 analyse 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.

• Create any type of 3D part, from rough 3D sketches to fully detailed industrial assemblies.
• Unbreakable relational design – a new way to manage links between objects and related behaviours in configured assemblies.
• Enables a smooth evolution from 2D- to 3D-based design methodologies.
• Productive and consistent drawing update removes the need for additional user operations.
• Process-oriented tools capture the manufacturing process intent in the early stages of design.
• A wide range of applications for tooling design, for generic tooling, in addition, to mould and die.
• Advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing, based on a powerful specification-driven modelling approach
