This allows for support of IP modeling that spans every engineering discipline and collaborative business processes (CBP) which allows for coverage throughout the entire product life-cycle Since the design data, engineering data, and manufacturing data are all stored within the same base it can accessed in a unified way, thus enhancing multi-discipline collaborationĤ.
Catia v6 was natively built on a single PLM platform. It allows for wide scale IP (Intellectual Property) modeling in a collaborative environment with joint scalability throughout the entire creation process.ģ. This is considered by many to be a huge breakthrough for companies that are currently utilizing a global engineering and manufacturing strategy. This is done through a simple internet connection, even from remote locations. Catia v6 has been optimized in order to enable concurrent work in real time. This was done specifically to make upgrading from version 5 easy and trouble-free.Ģ. Catia v6 was designed with nearly a 80% portfolio similarity. Fortunately, upgrading from version 5 to version 6 is actually a very simple transition. One of the biggest reasons that companies do not considering upgrading their software to the latest version is potential compatibility options.
However, many companies have chosen to not yet upgrade from version 5 because they simply do not understand what improvements have been made. The latest version that has been released is CATIA Version 6. It is focused on making collaboration simple and streamline the creation process to make product development faster and easier. It was designed by Dassault Systems, a French company, to provide users with the perfect platform for design, analysis, and manufacture of new products.
Catia is consistently considered to be one of the most popular CAD/CAM software options available.
