The 3DEXPERIENCE platform digitally connects Engineering, Simulation and Manufacturing teams with a single data model for CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA and DELMIA apps enabling a virtual innovation platform free of silos/integrations/friction. Although with CATIA 3DX you can achieve the highest levels of engineering productivity staying focused on innovation, you may need to continue to use your existing CAD due to business constraints.

POWER' BY technology enables you to benefit from full breadth of 3DEXPERIENCE platform with your existing CAD starting with CATIA V5 & Solidworks in R2018x followed by external CAD tools in the near future. You will be able to protect your investments in existing CAD and achieve business benefits from 3DEXPERIENCE platform until ready to move to CATIA 3DX. POWER’BY enables the following:

1. POWER' BY enables digital continuity for CATIA V5 data from DESIGN to VALIDATION to MANUFACTURING.
2. Reviewers can perform detailed interrogation of CATIA V5 design in the mobile friendly browser using comprehensive set of tools for sectioning/measurement/FTA examination to identify issues, illustrate them using mark ups and store them to manage a resolution process.
3. Design changes on CATIA V5 design are continued in real-time into DELMIA MBOM , Process Operations and Work Instructions under the governance of a single enterprise change process.
4. When ready you can adopt CATIA 3DX by co-existing with CATIA V5 in the one singe engineering structure in real-time.
5. Product Architects can assemble or edit a CATIA V5 structure in the mobile friendly web browser under the governance of change process without requiring a CATIA license and then hand it over to CATIA designer for 3D design work.
