Advantages of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA

Many CATIA V5 users are transitioning to 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA for its collaborative features, cloud database, and live updates. This article highlights some of the key advantages of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA.  

Unlimited Resources

Dassault Systèmes' entire product line is available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enabling companies to seamlessly go from design concept to production and everything in between. This facilitates full collaboration among all parties involved in specific projects, leading to faster and more accurate delivery of the final product. The platform maintains a single source of truth for all the models and associated documents, limiting costly mistakes.  

Access to the Cloud

Web-based apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform allow stakeholders to access files and any relevant information anywhere they can access a computer or mobile device.  

A cloud licensing option for the platform also makes it very user-friendly for smaller to medium-sized businesses with limited IT support/access. Of course, larger companies or those with stricter security requirements can opt for an on-premise setup where the platform is installed and managed locally.

Predefined Roles

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is broken down into defined roles within certain industries that contain all the necessary applications (apps) to perform in that role. Functionality like 3D sketching and sculpting allows for quick and flexible design ideation. Apps for visual scripting and lattice design allow for never-before-manufactured concepts, taking advantage of 3D printing manufacturing processes.

There are numerous roles and apps available with 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA. Start exploring here.  

Visual Scripting

Lattice Design

You can also go from product design to customer experience studies by utilizing high-level rendering and virtual reality to view the customer experience with or within your product.

Virtual Reality Testing

With many products becoming more complex, systems engineering becomes very critical in the design phase. 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA has tools for systems requirements and architecture as well as model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to help tie systems together and ensure all stakeholders have access to pertinent data throughout the design and development process.

Finally, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA offers an easy-to-use interface that is easy to navigate, especially for users moving from SOLIDWORKS or other 3D CAD packages. The modern interface provides more context-sensitive and pop-up menus that make learning the software a breeze.

These are just a few of the advantages of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA. Please contact us for more information.
