ĭassault Systèmes purchased CADAM from IBM in 1992, and the next year CATIA CADAM was released. Version 1 was released in 1982 as an add-on for CADAM.ĭuring the eighties CATIA saw wider adoption in the aviation and military industries with users such as Boeing and General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp. Dassault Systèmes signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with IBM, that was also selling CADAM for Lockheed since 1978. Initially named CATI ( conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive – French for interactive aided three-dimensional design ), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created the subsidiary Dassault Systèmes to develop and sell the software, under the management of its first CEO, Francis Bernard.

The software has been merged with the company's other software suite 3D XML Player to form the combined Solidworks Composer Player.ĬATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault to provide 3D surface modeling and NC functions for the CADAM software they used at that time to develop the Mirage fighter jet. Like most of its competition it facilitates collaborative engineering through an integrated cloud service and have support to be used across disciplines including surfacing & shape design, electrical, fluid and electronic systems design, mechanical engineering and systems engineering.īesides being used in a wide range of industries from aerospace and defence to packaging design, CATIA has been used by architect Frank Gehry to design some of his signature curvilinear buildings and his company Gehry Technologies was developing their Digital Project software based on CATIA. Since it supports multiple stages of product development from conceptualization, design and engineering to manufacturing, it is considered a CAx-software and is sometimes referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite. The author directs the reader to CATIA's Companion for in depth reference material and a more detailed description of the commands.CATIA ( / k ə ˈ t iː ə/, an acronym of computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application) is a multi-platform software suite for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE), 3D modeling and Product lifecycle management (PLM), developed by the French company Dassault Systèmes. It is meant to enable the reader to get right into CATIA and start drawing. This book is not meant to be strictly a reference book. Preceding each tutorial is a brief description of the workbench, toolbars, and commands to be used and focused on within the tutorial. The workbenches covered in this book are Sketcher, Part Design, Wireframe and Surface Design, Assembly Design, and Drafting. The reader is not required to have any previous CATIA knowledge. Preceding each t An Introduction to CATIA V5 is a collection of tutorials meant to familiarize the reader with the mechanical design workbenches that are available in CATIA Release 17.
