Description

CATIA V5 is the cornerstone of a true integration ofpeople, tools, methodologies and resources within anenterprise. Its unique underlying Product ProcessResource (PPR) model and workplace approach providea truly collaborative environment that fosters creativity,sharing, and communication. CATIA′s built-in capacity tocapture and reuse know-how will both drive theimplementation of corporate design best practices andfree end-users to focus on creativity and innovation.

In addition to CATIA V5.11′s portfolio of more than 140applications, the open CATIA V5 Application Architectureallows an ever growing number of third-party vendors tocreate specialized applications to meet specific OEMneeds in the same user environment.

V5.11 increases CATIA V5′s lead in end-to-end productauthoring process coverage for the automotive,aerospace, consumer goods, electrical, and electronicsindustries. Seven new products and enhancements tomore than 100 previously announced products deliverproductivity improvements across the V5 portfolio.

This is a key release for the shape design and stylingdomain. The new CATIA-Shape Sculptor 2 (DSS) productdelivers clay modeling-like capabilities for shape creationand modification. Its core polygonal modeling technologyincludes polymesh editing tools (decimation, refinement,smoothing, slicing, and stitching) that operate eitherlocally or globally through 3D sculpting tools. Thisproduct supports associative modeling through continuityand distance constraints set between curves, surfaces,and polymeshes, all of which are critical for styling in theautomotive and consumer goods industries.

In addition to this new product, CATIA-Generative ShapeOptimizer 2 (GSO) delivers new process-oriented featuresfor accelerating global shape morphing. Existing shapescan be easily deformed using defined constraints, suchas targeted points and curves. It also includes adedicated automotive body-in-white feature, called“Diabolo seat,” which allows the design of this complexelement with a few clicks of the mouse.

In the analysis domain, new products for solid meshingand dynamic response strengthen the domain′s coreprocesses. CATIA-Generative Dynamic ResponseAnalysis 2 (GDY) provides designers with an interactiveworkbench for computing and analyzing dynamicresponses of systems, whatever the industry. CATIA-FEMSolid 2 (FMD) extends the CATIA-Generative PartStructural Analysis 2 (GPS) solid mesher with anadvanced tetrahedron filler for creating complex solidparts. This capability is especially relevant in automotivepower train processes, such as mechanical and fluidanalysis.

The new CATIA-Composites Design 3 (CPD) product takesadvantage of CATIA V5′s integrated andspecification-driven approach. This innovative approachuses a true conceptual design tool to reduce the timerequired to design composites parts, especially in theaerospace industry.

V5.11 strengthens entry-PLM dedicated solutions withperformance gains in large assembly managementthrough the automatic selective loading of relevant data,a critical requirement for the industrial machineryindustry. This selective semantic unstreaming integrationis transparent to the user and allows smart memorymanagement.

This release delivers a new application for structuredesign. CATIA-Structure Design 1 (SR1), dedicated tosimple heavy structures, allows the user to rapidly designstructures using elements obtained from catalogs ofstandard or customized sections as building blocks.CATIA-Weld Design 1 (WD1) extends its weldingcapabilities by providing more flexibility (declare any partas a weld) and usability (dashed weld). This release alsointroduces the next-generation sheetmetal environmentfor the industrial machinery and electrical and electronicsindustries. The environment employs a newinfrastructure that fosters greater productivity, reliability,and flexibility.

Stronger integration between CATIA and SMARTEAMleverages the best-of-breed in CAD integration for entryPLM collaborative engineering solutions. SMARTEAMimmersive integration into the CATIA V5 interface hasbeen improved with new SMARTEAM commands, such asFile-Open , Insert Component , and User Feature , forimproved ease of use. The support of CATIA V5contextual links through SMARTEAM improves relationaldesign capabilities and facilitates life cycle management.V5.11 delivers a fully deployable solution for V4customers, with enhancements for ensuring a smoothtransition. The transition from V4 functional tolerancingand dimensioning is improved with support for note objectattributes, flag notes, and dimensions, as well as V4electrical connectors.

Extended capabilities in standard format handling, healingassistance, and new shape-tolerant modeling featuresautomate processes in heterogeneous environments andminimize the time spent on unproductive tasks.CATIA-Healing Assistant 1 (HA1) finds additionalduplicated geometries, non-manifold situations, and smallsurfaces. The CATIA-IGES interface (IG1) helps the userto identify the invalid geometries, such as borders of asurface that are not closed, borders distant from surfaces,or auto-intersections. The CATIA-Generative ShapeDesign application achieves a productivity breakthrough,thanks to a tolerant modeling capability for fills, lofts, andsweeps.

The Engineering Hub is strengthened through the ongoingevolution of CATIA-ENOVIA collaboration in such varieddomains as knowledge, electrical, and analysis, allowingusers to take advantage of ENOVIA capabilities. Allknowledge relations, including rules, checks, reactions,and sets of equations can now be stored in ENOVIA VirtualProduct Manager (ENOVIAVPM) as relational data. In theelectrical domain, specifications can be stored andretrieved, as can wire routing processes, from adatabase. Data derived from CAE specifications can bestored in ENOVIAVPM, SMARTEAM, and ENOVIA V5Lifecycle Applications (ENOVIA V5 LCA).

In V5.11, the seamless integration between CAEs andspecialized design applications (structure design,body-in-white fasteners) provides a step forward forintegrated analysis of native process definitions.Automatic retrieval of mechanical specifications definedin CATIA-Equipment Support Structure 2 (ESS) and/orCATIA-Structure Design 1 (SR1) trigger the creation of 1Dmesh properties. Transparent association of spot weldingspecifications defined in CATIA-Automotive Body-in-WhiteFastening 3 (ABF) with an analysis model can be usedstraightforwardly to perform the relevant simulation.

CATIA V5′s pervasive use of knowledgeware across theapplications is further extended in analysis optimization,mold tooling design, and real time rendering. Analysissensors, such as displacement, von Mises, frequency, andenergy can be defined locally and reused as knowledgeparameters for optimization in CATIA-Product EngineeringOptimizer 2 (PEO). Default rules for positioning and

203-106 -2-

dimensioning CATIA-Mold Tooling Design 2 (MTD)elements, as well as Real Time Rendering 2 (RTR) cameraparameters, give the user the ability to be moreproductive while complying with corporate standards.

V5.11 expands drafting conformity and quality throughcorporate drafting standards integration. Extensivedescriptions of company standards in such domains asgraphical properties, sketched geometry, and line typesand fonts ensure the reliability and quality of designs forthe company.

CATIA V5 is the leading product development solution forall manufacturing organizations, from OEMs, through theirsupply chains, to small independent producers. Therange of its capabilities allows CATIA V5 to be applied ina wide variety of industries, such as aerospace,automotive, industrial machinery, electrical, electronics,shipbuilding, plant design, and consumer goods, includingdesign for such diverse products as jewelry and clothing.

CATIA V5 is the only solution capable of addressing thecomplete product development process, from productconcept specification through product-in-service, in a fullyintegrated and associative manner. It facilitates truecollaborative engineering across the multidisciplinaryextended enterprise.

In conjunction with ENOVIA and SMARTEAM product datamanagement applications, ENOVIA Portal Web-basedcollaboration tools, and the DELMIA manufacturingprocess definition and simulation tools, CATIA V5provides the core capability for IBM PLM Solutions.

Much beyond pure CAD software packages, which providegeometry modeling features for design-centriccompanies, CATIA V5 delivers the keys to PLM forprocess-centric companies:

• Product to Market. CATIA is about product creation.From the earliest product concept to productiontooling, its concurrent engineering anddesign-in-context capabilities create value by enablingcompanies to create products and bring them to themarket.

• Time to Market. The unequalled process coverage ofCATIA, combined with the native associativity amongall of its applications, gives CATIA customers themeans to shorten the time to market.

• Right to Market. CATIA′s integrated analysis,simulation, synthesis, and optimization applicationsprovide product engineering validation at each designstep to ensure product quality and market acceptance.

• Lead the Market. CATIA′s advanced capabilities forcollaborative engineering, knowledge capture, andre-use boost innovation and help to lead the market.

CATIA V5′s three platforms (P1, P2, and P3) make it themost scalable solution for product creation. CATIA V5 P1users benefit from PLM productivity in an affordable waywith the security of potential growth. They can conductassociative product engineering based on CATIA V5′sproduct design-in-context, product knowledge reuse,end-to-end associativity, product validation, andcollaborative change management capabilities.

CATIA V5 P2 users can optimize their PLM processesthrough knowledge integration, process accelerators, andcustomized tools. They can drive generative productengineering based on the largest application portfolio.They can perform “design-to-target,” extensively captureand re-use knowledge, and stimulate collaborativeinnovation.

CATIA V5 P3 users access the highest productivity forspecific advanced processes with focused solutions. Theycan lead expert engineering and advanced innovation,relying on unique and very specialized applications thatintegrate product and process expertise.

The CATIA V5 world is fully scalable because the P1, P2,and P3 platforms operate on the same data model,methodology, and management schemes. By enablingusers to install P2 applications on top of P1 seats and bystandardizing graphical user interfaces across platforms,P1 users can immediately do collaborative design of theirextended enterprise with P2 users and later grow with P2and P3 platforms as their business grows.

Creation of several types of structures — Users can definea variety of linear, curved, and twisted structures usingstandard (I, U, L, T, rectangular or round bars and pipesections) or user-defined sections. An intuitive gridfunction ensures easy placement in 3D space ofstructures using linear, directional, and point-to-pointplacement.

Design in context — Users can create structures byreferencing geometrical objects or existing structures(faces, edges, or vertices) and optionally keep fullassociativity.

Optimized user interface — The Structure Design 1 userinterface is optimized for placing structure elements.Employing standard windows, users can retrievestandardized structure attributes and then use a previewvisualization to validate their choices. The CATIA V5environment provides numerous options, such as 3D,zoom, and compass, to optimize the visualization.

Assembly instantiation through user-defined templates —The product delivers highly productive tools for managingassembly instantiation and penetration. Users can eveninstantiate assembly templates that are based onreusable templates. These templates were created byexperts who captured company standards and bestpractices within them. This method allows users to beextremely productive while at the same time ensuringthat their designs comply with company standards andbest practices. These templates can be used for suchoperations as automatically instantiating stiffeners alonga beam or managing the standard penetration of plates(standard openings or cut-outs).

Access to parametric catalogs through design tables —Using the standard section catalogs that are deliveredwith the product, users can easily and intuitively defineparametric sections as well as create their own sectioncatalog. A standard catalog browser is included in theworkbench.

Creation of several structures at the same time — Userscan create, in one operation, several structures betweentwo reference structures or two edges of a plate byspecifying the number of “in-fills,” the spacing, or byletting the software calculate the number. The referencestructure can also be a wireframe plan or the face of anexisting element, whether the element is parallel or not.The user can choose different modes, such asperpendicular to reference 1 or perpendicular toreference 2, to define and place the structures.

Full modification capabilities for design changes —Advanced functions, such as Move, Rotate, and Mirror,enable users to position and re-place structures. Theuser can modify types, sections, limits, anchor points,thickness, and the orientation of linear and curvedstructures, as well as material attributes. Additionally,three types of associative joints can be created: weld,normal, and miter-cut.

Generation of user-customizable BOMs — Suchinformation as material, section, length to cut, andquantity requirements is easily extracted for use increating bills of materials.

User-defined Visual Basic (VB) macros — Users canemploy the Visual Basic interface to automatically createtheir own structure profiles and to generate structureframes.

Integration with other CATIA products — StructureDesign 1 can be used in conjunction with other CATIAproducts to help optimize the design-to-manufacturingprocess.

• CATIA — Assembly Design: Create assemblyconstraints between existing structure elements.

• CATIA — Part Design: Create holes, pockets, andchamfers on existing structures.

• CATIA — Sheetmetal Design: Create flanges on plateswith unfolded views.

• CATIA — Generative Drafting: Automatically extractprojected views and cuts for use as structure profiles.

• CATIA — Analysis Solutions: Using various AnalysisSolutions products, users can perform advancedanalysis of structural beams that have been designedwith Structure Design 1. This capability greatlyfacilitates the design-to-analysis process by allowingusers to directly employ what they have just designedto simulate the manufacturability of the structuralbeams.

CATIA — Generative Dynamic Response Analysis 2(5691-GDY, 5693-GDY)

About Dynamic Response Analysis

There are two main differences between static anddynamic analysis. The first is that the load applied to apart is not a constant: it varies according to duration orto frequency. The second is that because the load canvary over time, the responses to it, includingdisplacements, forces, and stresses, are time-varying aswell. Dynamic analysis is both more complete and morecomplex than static analysis because it takes into accountsuch factors as motion and vibration--actual time-varyingfactors to which most parts are subjected in regular use.

The CATIA — Generative Dynamic Response Analysis 2(GDY) product, which is a natural extension of theAnalysis Solution backbone product CATIA — GenerativePart Structural Analysis 2 (GPS), enables designers toperform such advanced analysis in a generative andintuitive way.

New Products


CATIA — Composites Design 3 (CPD)

Composites Design 3 is an advanceddesign-to-manufacturing process accelerator that allowsmanufacturers, especially aerospace companies, toreduce the time needed to design composites parts. Itdelivers tools to cover both the preliminary and detaileddesign phases while taking into account, even at theconcept stage, the product′s requirements for finiteelement analysis and manufacturability. CompositesDesign 3 uniquely delivers a powerful composites designsolution with all the advantages of the CATIA V5architecture: native integration, pervasiveknowledgeware capabilities, and CATIA V5′s renown easeof use.

CATIA — Composites Design 3:

• Uses a specification-driven composites designapproach.

• Supports specific geometrical configurations.

• Manages manufacturing parameters at the early stageof the design process.

• Uniquely takes advantage of the CATIA V5infrastructure and integration with other CATIA V5applications.

Specification-driven composites design approach —CATIA — Composites Design 3, like every CATIA V5product, but more specifically as a CATIA P3 solution, isa process-centric solution for designing composites parts.It delivers all the tools needed to ensure compliance withcomposites part design best practices. Based on CATIA′sexperience in the high-tech composites domain, and alsoon the latest CAD V5 technologies, Composites Design 3uniquely delivers an intuitive, specification-drivensolution that helps the user concentrate on the design, noton the tool.

Support of specific geometrical configurations — Owing totheir geometrical parameters, some composites partsrequire complex designs. Composites Design 3 canmanage multi-part geometries, such as T-shaped parts,more easily than standard composites design solutions,such as CATIA V4, can. In addition, CompositesDesign 3 can speed-up ply generation with suchtechniques as self-overlapping plies, always taking intoaccount the zone′s or part′s geometry.

Manufacturing parameter management at the early stageof the design process — Producibility checking enablesusers to predict how composites materials will behave oncomplex surfaces. Users can visualize fiber orientations,predict manufacturing problems, such as wrinkles orbridges, and take corrective action in the initial stages ofdesign, eliminating costly change orders and ensuring aproducible part. Producibility checking results in thegeneration directly from the CAD model of accurate flatpatterns according to ply characteristics and fiberbehavior. Downstream operations then offer directintegration of these flat patterns with the major nestingand cutting systems used by composites industry leaders.

Uniquely takes advantage of the CATIA V5 infrastructureand other applications — Composites Design 3 is a uniqueCATIA V5 technology-based product that takes advantageof the power of the PPR infrastructure. One example isthe specific V5 relational design change managementcapabilities that use automatic updates to reduce theimpact of changes to the design-to-manufacturingprocess. Another example is the ability to create andreuse rules instantiated in stacking sequences to take intoaccount industrial standards and corporate know-how.Using CATIA V5′s knowledgeware capabilities inpreliminary design permits the automatic update of a partin the engineering design phase for design changemanagement purposes. This ability avoids the need torestart the full design phase, saving time and expense.

This product is available only in the CATIA — CompositesDesign 3 Configuration (5691-CD3).

• Two translation modes:

− Interactive mode, in which the user can insertnative UG data directly into the digital mock-up

− Batch mode, in which the user can convert UG datainto CGR data, and/or a CATPart, and/or aCATProduct and then open the converted data in aCATIA V5 session or in an ENOVIA Portal DMU or3d com session

• Associativity of CAD parts and assemblies

− Create a session by importing a part from anotherCAD system with on-the-fly conversion of the CADpart.

− Save and close the session.− Modify the geometry of the original CAD part in the

proprietary CAD system.− Use a tool to update the ENOVIA Portal session.

The modified CAD part or assembly is re-convertedif necessary.

5628-ACN SPO

CATIA V5 programs for all platforms (UNIX and MicrosoftWindows) are shipped under the 5628-ACN SPO. The SPOis required for all program shipments and future updates.

Initial orders placed for a program type 5691 without acorresponding order or MES for the 5628-ACN SPO willeither fail order validation, or will not generate a mediashipment. The SPO is designated to the processor onwhich the program type 5691 is licensed. Each customernumber must have its own SPO.

Initial Orders: When ordering the first 5691 configurationfor CATIA V5, an order must also be placed for the5628-ACN SPO. Both the 5691 program order and the SPOmust be for the same CPU system type/system numberand must have the same scheduled shipment date.

Subsequent Licenses: The SPO must have a featurenumber for every CATIA V5 configuration that is installedor on-order. Therefore, when a configuration that was notpreviously installed is ordered, the SPO must be updated.

To Update an On-Order System: When a license for a new5691 program is ordered for an on-order system, the5628-ACN SPO must be updated to reflect the featurenumber of the licensed program desired. Also, for assetregistration and billing purposes an order for theindividual licensed program type 5691 is required.

To Update an Installed System: When a license for a new5691 program is ordered for an installed system, the5628-ACN SPO must be updated to reflect the featurenumber of the licensed program desired.

5628-ACN Program Feature Numbers for New Products:The following no-charge program feature numbers areused with the 5628-ACN SPO to show which configurationsand products are installed.

The Licensing Mechanism

CATIA V5 Licensing on Workstations: In workstationenvironments, CATIA controls the number of concurrentusers of a CATIA configuration or product, according tothe number of licenses acquired for the configuration orproduct.

CATIA V5 delivers identical licensing mechanisms onUNIX and Windows environments, based on IBM LicenseUse Management (LUM). The following licensingprinciples apply:

• A CATIA V5 configuration (standard or custom) willrequire a license. Licenses for CATIA V5configurations are acquired and released for the totalconfiguration. The products within a configurationcannot be shared.

• CATIA V5 shareable products will require a license, inaddition to one for the prerequisite configuration andany prerequisite product, if applicable.

• In all cases, configuration licenses are acquired at thebeginning of the process and are released at itstermination.

• Shareable product licenses may be acquired at thebeginning of the process and released at itstermination, or upon user request, acquired andreleased during the process (ability to acquire andrelease licenses is not available for configurationlicenses). Shareable licenses acquired at thebeginning of the session cannot be released before theend of the session; only licenses dynamically grantedupon user request during the session can be releasedduring the session.

CATIA V5 can be used in two licensing modes, eithernodelock or with concurrent usage of licenses on anetwork.

Nodelock Usage: The use of local display of the hardwareconfiguration is mandatory for CATIA V5 usage innodelock mode. There is no limit to the number of CATIAV5 processes launched for a given license (configurationor product). For instance, a user can launch the followingsimultaneous processes:

• A V5 interactive session• A V5 process executed through an OLE container

application• Replay of macros recorded from captured sequences

of V5 user interactions

In nodelock mode of operation, only one CATIA licenseper configuration and product can be registered bymachine, and only one CATIA user can run at a time. Ifmultiple licenses per configuration or product, or multipleusers, are required, refer to the Concurrent Usagesection.

Concurrent Usage: A user on one machine on one displayuses one license per configuration or product used,regardless of the number of processes. If the displaychanges, then an additional license is taken for thecorresponding process.

CATIA add-on and shareable products require a licensefor a configuration which includes at least the prerequisiteproducts.

Licenses for CATIA configurations are acquired andreleased for the total configuration. The functions withina configuration cannot be shared.

Dynamic Licensing: Shareable product licenses may beacquired at the beginning of the session and released atits termination or, upon user request, acquired andreleased during the session. (The ability to acquire andrelease licenses is not available for configurationlicenses.) Shareable licenses acquired at the beginningof the session cannot be released before the end of thesession; only licenses dynamically granted upon userrequest during the session can be released during thesession.

Educational Allowance Available: No. CATIA V5 andCATIA WLS V5 products are available under the CATIAHigher Education Academic Training (HEAT) program.

Program Services offer a method of reportingcode-related problems for CATIA V5 licensed softwareproducts.

The preferred method for technical assistance iselectronically at:


On the left side, select Service requests, problemreporting. On the next page select Fastpath to Submit aProblem Management Report (PMR). When using thePMR option, communications will be either through thePMR or by e-mail, depending on country-specificguidelines.

Not all options of the PLM technical support e-servicesare available in all countries.

Problems may also be reported by fax, e-mail, orconventional mail. They will be responded to via thesame medium used to submit the problem. IBM willrespond to customer inquiries within two business daysof e-mail or fax receipt and seven days of conventionalmail receipt advising of the problem disposition.

For country-specific e-mail, fax, or conventional mailinformation, visit:


On the left side, select Service requests, problemreporting. On the next page, expand Contracts, Otherresources and select IBM PLM Warranty Support contactsas an alternative to this site.

If the problem reported is not known to be a code-relatedproblem, the customer will be informed that work willcontinue on it provided the customer has an enhancedsupport contract.

For additional information about the enhanced supportcontract and other available PLM services offerings, visit:


On the left side, select Service and Support offerings. Onthe next page, expand Support Offerings or contact yourPLM marketing representative or authorized IBMBusiness Partner for more information.

Preventive Service is delivered through the next releaseof CATIA V5. The new release also includes correctionsto problems, depending on the time of their submissionand their severity.

Corrective Service for CATIA V5 and CATIA WLS V5releases is delivered through service packs on a regularbasis. A service pack includes corrections for Severity 1problems in production systems reported on this releaseand all corrections available for all components at thetime it is built. Service packs are provided at the sametime for all platforms currently supported. Each servicepack supersedes the previous one and may be installedon top of the released level or on top of a previousservice pack. No individual corrections will be deliveredbetween two service packs.

Customers may request a correction via a service packfor Severity 1 problems. A Severity 1 problem is definedas:

• A problem that stops production: The customer iscurrently using the level for which a fix is requested ina production environment.

• A problem that prevents migration: The customermust provide the migration plan.

• A problem that halts testing of a given level: A fix willallow customer to continue the testing.

• Installation problem: A problem that prevents thecustomer from installing or using the product.

• Regression: Problems reported as regressions maybe due to an operation that was being performederroneously or created incorrect data with a previousrelease and the current release no longer permitsthese operations. Therefore, each problem reportedas a regression must be evaluated. True regressionswill be handled as Severity 1 problems.

Requests for corrections to a given release of CATIA V5and CATIA WLS V5 may be made up to four months afterthe next release of CATIA V5 and CATIA WLS V5 becomesgenerally available. After that date, no new service packswill be built for that release. For the duration of theservice period of each release, the final service pack canbe ordered on CD-ROM via the Support Centers. (Thisservice period ends four months after the generalavailability of the second subsequent release of CATIAV5 and CATIA WLS V5.)

With the availability of this release, the end of correctiveservice date for CATIA V5.10 and CATIA WLS V5.10 willbe four months after the planned availability date of thisrelease; the EoS date for CATIA V5.9 and CATIA WLS V5.9will be four months after the general availability date ofthis release.

Note: The User Companion for DMU will follow the samesupport terms and conditions as defined above.
