CATIA FAQs
What is CATIA?
CATIA is a Dassault Systèmes 3D CAD and product design software solution used to create parts, assemblies, surfaces, sheet metal components, drawings, and detailed product definitions. In the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, CATIA connects design work with shared product data, collaboration, and downstream engineering processes.
What are the differences between the CATIA design roles?
These CATIA roles provide different levels of design capability. SheetMetal Designer focuses on core mechanical and sheet metal design, Mechanical Designer adds broader part, assembly, drafting, and mechanism capabilities, and Mechanical and Shape Engineer adds more advanced surface and shape design tools for complex geometry.
Can CATIA be used for large assemblies and complex products?
Yes. CATIA is designed for complex product development and can support large assemblies, detailed mechanical systems, advanced geometry, and multi-discipline product definitions. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform also helps teams manage shared product data and collaborate across larger engineering projects.
How is CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform different from traditional standalone CAD?
Traditional CAD software is often focused primarily on geometry creation and local file management. CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform combines CAD with connected product data, collaboration, lifecycle management, and engineering workflows so teams can work from a shared product definition.
