Dassault has recently released CATIA V5 with 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services, so what is it?
CATIA V5 with 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services combines the power of CATIA V5 that is used across the globe and combines it with 3DEXPERIENCE On-Cloud to deliver the beginning of a transformation journey to engineering processes. Starting with the management of CATIA V5 Data, then improving collaboration in the product development process, and finally expanding engineering processes beyond that of traditional CAD practices
What is CATIA V5?
CATIA V5 from Dassault Systèmes is a powerful and comprehensive software toolset with a full suite of solutions for disciplines as diverse as composites and generative design sit side by side with traditional solids, surfacing, and drafting.
CATIA V5 provides Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools across a variety of industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial Equipment, and Home Appliances, throughout the concept, design, and development phases of new and existing products.
What are 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services?
Designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and efficiency across an entire organization, 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services is a scalable Cloud-Based business platform, that provides capabilities such as CAD Data Management, Issue and Change Management, Document Management, and real-time collaboration. With built-in capabilities such as Project Management, Digital Twin, and Product Simulation that can be scaled on demand.
Why should you adopt CATIA V5 with 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services?
By Adopting CATIA V5 with 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services, not only do you have one of the world-leading CAD, CAM, and CAE Solutions, engineering teams as well as the wider company will have the added benefit of:
- Enhanced Collaboration
- Cloud-Based: 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services enables all users to collaborate from anywhere in the world in real-time, with increased benefits for teams that are spread across the globe. Ensuring that all teams are working seamlessly on the latest design data and models
- Single Source of Truth: By managing of all the design and associated data within 3DEXPERIENCE a Single Source of Truth is defined, thus limiting the risk of errors and ensuring that complete teams are working on the must up-to-date releases and information.
- Improved Design & Engineering Capabilities
- Lifecycle Management: The 3DEXPXERIENCE platform supports product data and lifecycle management directly from within the CATIA V5 environment, allowing for shorter development cycles, streamlined project management, and reducing the need for CAD translations.
- IT and Infrastructure Benefits
- Simplified Infrastructure Management: As a Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform includes security, updates, and maintenance, reducing the burden on IT infrastructure. Removing the need for dedicated Servers and managing the 3DEXPERIENCE Environment. Allowing companies to focus on their core business.
- Complete Scalability and Flexibility: The cloud-based nature of the platform allows for easy scalability, enabling companies to add new applications and expand their capabilities as needed without worrying about compatibility issues.
In Summary
In summary CATIA V5 with Cloud Services offers a great number of benefits to engineering departments and allows for future scalability of the platform outside of just engineering and provides a more collaborative environment.
CATIA V5 with 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud services delivers a solution to:
- Preserve CAD Users’ methodologies and processes
- Store, organise, search and visualise CATIA V5 data online
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders
- Full lifecycle management & issues tracking
- Online digital mock-up reviews
- Manage multi-releases of CATIA V5 in the same design environment
- Product definition consistency while collaborating with partners and suppliers
