CATIA – development of complex products
CATIA

When product development outgrows the capabilities of ordinary CAD tools.

CATIA provides an environment for designing, developing and coordinating complex products from the first concept through to manufacturing preparation.

It helps connect engineering, design, simulation, electrical engineering and other development disciplines. Teams can work with up-to-date data, better manage changes and handle the increasing complexity of products and projects.

Are you still using CAD, or are you already managing product development?

CATIA connects engineering, design, simulation, electrical engineering and manufacturing into a single digital environment. Teams work on the same data, with better control of changes and continuity into subsequent development phases.

CATIA brings together everything modern development requires

Comprehensive 3D design

Design of parts, assemblies and complex-shaped products in one environment.

Team collaboration

Engineering, design, simulation and manufacturing can work with up-to-date data.

Fewer late changes

Issues can be detected earlier, before they reach manufacturing or testing.

Manufacturing continuity

Technical data can seamlessly feed into subsequent stages of product preparation.

Configuration management

Better oversight of product variants, changes and related documentation.

Room for growth

A solution suitable for teams working on increasingly complex products.

When do companies start considering CATIA

Change usually occurs when the complexity of products, teams and processes begins to exceed the capabilities of the current CAD environment.

Signs that the current solution is no longer sufficient

01

Products are too complex

The number of parts, configurations and dependencies is growing faster than the team's ability to manage them.

02

More departments are involved in development

Engineering, technology, simulation and manufacturing need to work on the same data.

03

Changes occur too late

Errors appear only during manufacturing or testing.

04

The current CAD environment is becoming insufficient

The solution worked for smaller projects but hits limits with large assemblies.

What CATIA enables

01

Design complex products

From individual components to large assemblies.

02

Connect teams and disciplines

Collaborative work on up-to-date data throughout development.

03

Manage changes more efficiently

Better control over development, decision-making and traceability.

04

Prepare the product for manufacturing earlier

Detecting issues before the creation of a physical prototype.

Where CATIA delivers the greatest value

Industry

Industrial equipment

Development of large machinery, production lines and technological systems. Enables efficient management of complex engineering data and coordination of project parts from design to implementation.

Industry

Automotive

Development of passenger and commercial vehicles, their systems and production units. CATIA supports designing complex assemblies, cross-team collaboration and efficient change management throughout the development process.

Industry

Transportation

Development of rail vehicles, transportation systems and related infrastructure. CATIA supports working with large assemblies, long product lifecycles and demanding safety and quality requirements.

Industry

Aerospace

Design and development of products with high demands for precision, quality and coordination. CATIA helps manage complex structures, large assemblies and collaboration between different disciplines and suppliers.

Industry

High-tech products

Development of complex products with high demands on integration of mechanical, electrical and other systems. CATIA provides an environment for effective collaboration and managing the increasing complexity of products.

Is CATIA right for you?

When does CATIA make the most sense

CATIA is not intended for every company. If you develop simpler products with a small number of designers, another CAD solution may be more suitable.

However, if you handle large projects, multiple disciplines or high product complexity, CATIA provides room for further growth without unnecessary limitations.

This is often the moment when companies start to consider a change.

How the collaboration works

From the first consultation to long-term solution development

Collaboration does not start with selecting a license, but with understanding your development process, team needs and the goals you want to achieve.

01

Initial consultation

We will review your current situation, product types, team size and the main reasons you are considering a change.

02

Needs analysis

We will examine the current way of working, data flows, team collaboration and areas where constraints arise.

03

Solution proposal

We will recommend the appropriate solution scope, deployment approach and next steps based on your technical and business needs.

04

Implementation and training

We will help with bringing the solution into practice, configuring the environment and training users for effective work.

05

Long-term development

After deployment we continue with support, process development and finding further opportunities to utilize the platform.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about CATIA

What is CATIA?

CATIA is a professional 3D CAD platform by Dassault Syst�mes intended for developing complex products, engineering, assembly design, data handling and collaboration of development teams.

For which companies is CATIA suitable?

CATIA is suitable for companies developing technically demanding products, large assemblies or needing to connect engineering, simulation, manufacturing and change management.

What is the difference between CATIA and regular CAD software?

CATIA is not just a tool for 3D modeling. It enables managing the broader product development process from design through validation to manufacturing readiness.

Can CATIA be connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform?

Yes. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform extends CATIA with data management, team collaboration, change management, configuration, simulation and other product lifecycle processes.

Does CATIA support working with large assemblies?

Yes. Working with large assemblies, configurations and complex products is among the main areas where CATIA brings the greatest value.

Is the transition from another CAD system complicated?

It depends on the team size, data type and processes used. TECHNODAT helps with analysis of the current environment, planning, data migration and user training.

Does CATIA enable simulations?

CATIA can be connected to Dassault Syst�mes simulation tools, particularly SIMULIA. This allows validating designs before creating a physical prototype.

How can TECHNODAT help with CATIA deployment?

TECHNODAT assists with selecting the right solution, implementation, environment setup, user training, support and long-term solution development.
