Overview

A WINNING COMBINATION
When effective collaboration intersects with world class engineering, it’s a winning combination that empowers the existing CATIA user experience by extending CATIA V5 performance with the addition of new capabilities. V5 users can enjoy the benefits of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on-the-cloud and will appreciate the mobility, collaboration and security it offers.

Connected Engineering combines the digital continuity of Collaborative Designer for CATIA V5 on the cloud with the performance of the CATIA Engineering Excellence packages. It provides the opportunity to increase productivity by leveraging the extensive portfolio of capabilities available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Benefit from an extended set of applications for the creation and management of sophisticated mechanical projects, including part design, sheet metal, tooling, assembly design, functional tolerances and annotations, kinematics and fitting simulation, DMU review, advanced surface design and more.

Collaborative Designer for CATIA V5 on-the-cloud connects CATIA V5 users to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enabling product designs and documents to be managed and shared directly from CATIA V5. Users can leverage the platform web based apps to manage, annotate and visualize designs anywhere, anytime and on any device.

HIGHLIGHTS

Drastically reduce lead-time

  • Reduce design time with true concurrent engineering on complex parts and assemblies

Up-to-date and complete information, directly in 3D

  • Associate all the product information in the 3D model, reducing paperwork

Easy collaboration and management of data

  • Collaborate with all the stakeholders of your project on the Cloud. Manage your native CATIA V5 data on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform without migrating data.
  • Supplement your V5 capabilities by adding a 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Role on top of your existing assets.

Access your V5 product anywhere, anytime

  • Build a dashboard for any type of user with the correct data available instantly. Immediate visualization of 3D data increases understanding.

Secure data with managed lifecycle and controlled access

  • Perform lifecycle operations including Revision, Release and Lock/Unlock.
  • Manage and protect your Intellectual Property by easily removing company know-how from any CATIA model prior to data exchange with multiple levels of security, depending on the receiver.
