The 3D CAD/CAM/CAE software CATIA and Product Data Management software, SMARTEAM, are well documented worldwide. Their user base is the Who's Who of global engineering and manufacturing. For example, CATIA is used by 24 of the world's top automotive manufacturers, all aerospace companies, major shipbuilders and naval companies, and all but one of the F1 teams (for engine/component design as well as surfacing and styling).
Viewed by some market segments as hi-end solutions only, CATIA and SMARTEAM are now available for much smaller enterprises.
Dassault Systemes has developed new CATIA PLM Express (CPE) and SMARTEAM Design Express for Multi-CAD (SDE). Not only do they feature the core competencies utilised by OEM's and Tier 1 companies...they have been scaled to be more affordable than ever before and very easily implemented without the need for additional services.
A major 'plus' - in fact, a very unique feature - is that both of these products can be implemented within 10 days utilising the Quick Start packages (pre-configured database, installation documents, training material, and methodology guide).
Businesses will apreciate the abiility to "customise" CATIA PLM Express to suit their own requirements. Simply log on to 3ds.com/my-catia-plm-express and select the most-needed components. These components belong to six core modules: Layout Engineer, Equipment Product Engineer, Styled Product Engineer, Review & Optimise Engineer, Mechanical Product Engineer, Manufacture Engineer.
CATIA PLM Express is a scalable solution, allows virtual product information directly from within CATIA, pre-customised product information, allows re-use of existing assets, is a fully secure environment, provides collaborative design iteration, traceability for lifecycle management, unique knowledge capture and re-use, easy product creation with powerful CATIA modeller, generative drafting, instant collaborative reviews, and allows simplified exchanges of information across the supply chain.
Dassault Systemes' free 3D XML format means that CPE users can easily share their detailed files with other personnel involved in management-review-production processes...by enabling complex files to be embedded in everyday Microsoft files such as Word and Powerpoint, or in emails.
SMARTEAM Design Express for MULTI-CAD (SDE) offers industry-leading immersive CAD integrations for CATIA™ V5, SolidWorks™, Inventor™, Solid Edge™ and Pro/ENGINEER™! This is ideal for businesses which rely on multiple CAD platforms.
