10 unusual facts about Catia


Airbus Helicopters EC175

The gears and the casing of the EC175's main gearbox (MGB) have, for example, been completely developed using CATIA V5, a first for Airbus Helicopters.

Catia

CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application)

Cyclone Business Jet

The most recent data for the shape of the airplane and the external skin was complied and converted from CATIA to Solidworks.

Desktop Engineering

Dassault Systemes had developed Catia, the leading CAD application for the automotive and aerospace markets.

Jean-Pierre Houdin

Using software applications such as CATIA to reconstitute the site of this gigantic construction in three dimensions allowed them to test in real-time whether such an approach was plausible.

KAI KT-1 Woongbi

Development was initiated under the KTX program for the Republic of Korea Air Force in 1988 using the CATIA computer program to completely develop the aircraft, the first of its class.

Learjet 85

Computer software design tools were used on the project, including CATIA and HyperSizer, and similar wing technology employed as on the Bombardier CSeries.

NTT Data Engineering Systems Corporation

NDES supplies services and software products such as Space-E/Modeller, Space-E/CAM, Space-E/Mold, which are all based on the Catia system.

Radical Cause

The party's focus throughout the 1970s and 1980s was on organizing factory workers in the Guayana Region (officially: Bolivar (state)) through the so-called Matanceros Movement, as well as workers in the west side of Caracas (Catia).

SofTech, Inc.

ProductCenter integrates with CAD systems such as Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, CADRA, Unigraphics, Catia and ME-10 as well as non-CAD integrations to MS Office and Adobe FrameMaker and view/markup/collaboration integration to Cimmetry’s AutoVue.

Autodesk Alias

It does not go into mechanical detail to anywhere near the extent that CAD programs such as Catia, Siemens NX, Inventor, Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks do, but has a much more powerful set of tools for the creation of precisely sculpted curves and surfaces.

wire data reads directly into Autodesk Inventor, Showcase and 3DsMax and It exports into several other 3D engineering packages via IGES or STEP such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, and Unigraphics.

Diseconomies of scale

In addition to CGS, GM also used CADAM, UNIGRAPHICS, CATIA and other off-the-shelf CAD/CAM systems, thus increasing the cost of translating designs from one system to another.

Visual Basic for Applications

VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications, including Office for Mac OS X (apart from version 2008) and other Microsoft applications such as Microsoft MapPoint and Microsoft Visio, as well as being at least partially implemented in other applications such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, CATIA and WordPerfect.
