The advances in the performance of CATIA Version 5 inhandling large parts and assemblies, which have beenseen release-by-release, are continued in Release 7 toprovide maximum usability on even the most complexparts and the largest assemblies. Performance has alsobeen a major focus in the analysis arena. New solveralgorithms, parallel processing options, and backgroundcomputation capabilities result in major reductions in thetime required for both mesh generation and solving.These improvements are targeted to provide maximumturn-around speed to enable simulations to become anintegral part of the design process, driving designiterations for optimization from concept to delivery.

Advanced Piping and Tubing Design-in-Context

The delivery of new products to address tubing and pipingprovide the tools required to define fluid deliverysystems, such as hydraulics and cooling, across thefabrication and assembly, automotive, aerospace, andshipbuilding industries. These applications provide muchmore than a geometric representation of the systems.With built-in logic and intelligence (knowledgeware rulesand checks), they can deliver a complete systemdefinition and can guide the designer through the designto ensure adherence to corporate standards.

Cost-Effective Styling and Manufacturing Solutions

The new FreeStyle Shaper 1 product delivered withRelease 7 provides affordable capabilities where there isa need for advanced styled surface creation in theproduct definition. In the same way, the introduction ofthe Lathe Machining 1 and Prismatic Machining 1products ensures that supply chain engineeringorganizations, fabrication and assembly, and consumergoods manufacturers can obtain Version 5 usability andintegration benefits across design and manufacturingwithin a highly capable, cost-effective package.

Enhanced Team PDM Integration for SME

Automotive body-in-white design process coverage isenhanced with the delivery of the:

• New Generative Shape Optimizer 2 product

• Enhancements to the Generative Shape Design 1 and2 products

• Capabilities for performing associative structuralanalysis of complete car body assemblies

The Generative Shape Optimizer delivers the advancedcapabilities needed to define complex junctions betweendissimilar sections and tools for global surfacedeformation to facilitate completion of fully associative,specification-driven, body-in-white definition.Enhancements in section sweep and geodesic curvedefinition on a shell within Generative Shape Designextend these capabilities to provide a completebody-in-white surface engineering solution.

Release 7 also delivers the first fully associativecapability for complete vehicle body structural analysis.With specification-driven mesh generation andassociative assembly through welding definition, CATIAVersion 5 provides the potential for continuous analysisat every stage of the body-in-white design process. Thisapproach allows constant focus on the optimum designsolutions.

A New P3 Automotive Class A Solution for MaximumProductivity and Usability

The delivery of the new P3 Automotive Class A productdelivers the advanced capabilities required for maximumproductivity in the automotive Class A surface definitionprocess. This specialized product brings new levels ofease of use to this highly specialized area and continuesthe trend within CATIA Version 5 of integratingspecialized process tools directly within its coreengineering capability to maximize the ability to workcollaboratively at all stages of the design process.

CATIA DMU Differentiation for Continuous DesignValidation

The use of DMU as the basis for all design activityprovides the foundation for collaborative design acrossthe extended enterprise. Release 7 delivers furthersignificant developments in allowing the validation of theDMU for assembly operation and maintenance from theearliest stages of the design process. For operationalconsiderations, the integration of DMU with engineeringanalysis results provides for the first time in the industrythe ability to evaluate the impact of part or assemblydeformation under operational conditions within the widerdigital mockup. Allowing the inclusion of the deformedrepresentations resulting from analyses with the CATIAVersion 5 Generative Part Structural Analysis family ofproducts in clash detection and sectioning provides majorbenefits in:

201-177 -2-

• Assessing potential packaging issues

• Avoiding potential failures when prototyping or inoperation owing to unforeseen interferences causedby load-induced deformations

Release 7 also delivers significant enhancements toCATIA Version 5′s highly valued fitting simulationcapabilities by providing even greater associativitybetween the parts involved in the fitting simulation andthe definition of the fitting tracks and sequences. Thisapproach makes it much easier to define the fittingsimulation early in the design. The simulation is updatedautomatically as the design progresses, ensuring thatassembly and maintenance issues can be considered atevery stage of the design.

A Unique Solution for Universal Assembly StructuralAnalysis

CATIA Version 5′s unique assembly analysis capabilitiesare extended in this release to allow assembly analysisof thin parts. For the automotive industry, this nowmeans it is possible to completely integrate the structuralanalysis processes for body-in-white within the designprocess.

• Defining:

− The mesh with FEM Surface 2 on each individualbody panel

− All of the connections and assembly conditions,such as weld points, directly with GenerativeAssembly Structural Analysis 2 (leveraging thepredefined assembly constraints whereappropriate)

• Directly analyzing the complete body structure withinCATIA Version 5

Importantly, this process allows the immediatere-analysis as the body panels develop or are replacedwith new designs.

In the context of broader analysis applications, this uniquecapability now also allows the analysis of hybrid (thickand thin) parts. For many applications in the automotivechassis, fabrication and assembly, and consumer goodsindustries, early analysis has been constrained by theneed for highly specialized skills to analyze thecomplexities of components and assemblies that consistof combinations of thin (sheet metal) and thick (cast orforged) components. Generative Part StructuralAnalysis 2 and Generative Assembly StructuralAnalysis 2 deliver for the first time associative hybridassembly analysis as an integral part of the designprocess for continuous design optimization and validation.

For demanding NCapplications, such as mold and die machining, functionalcompleteness, improved performance, and unequaledease of learning make CATIA Version 5′s manufacturingsolutions ready to use.

Knowledgeware Deployment Boosts Best DesignPractices and Collaborative Knowledge Sharing

Across the Extended Enterprise

The continuing maturity of CATIA Version 5′sknowledgeware tools is highlighted in this release. Itdelivers the Product Knowledge Templates products andextension of the applicability of Knowledge Expert 2 fordesign validation and guidance across many more CATIAVersion 5 applications, including drafting, the electricalapplications, and sheet metal.

The product knowledge templates are the next level ofcapability beyond the existing POWERCopy capability.The templates allow the capture of feature specificationswithin a single container. Captured specifications can beused to create new advanced customized features. Theencapsulation of specifications within a single featureprovides many benefits in reuse, knowledge sharing, andbest practices across the extended enterprise.

POWERCopy allowed the capture of the specification ofdesign features, parts, and products for reuse in otherdesigns with the ability to adapt to new referencegeometry or parameters. However, once instantiated, thePOWERCopy specification is unrelated to its origins.Product knowledge templates, on the other hand, aresingle items that maintain associativity to their originatingreference so that they can support change management,protection of intellectual capital, and continuous sharingof evolving knowledge.

Product Synthesis Solutions

CATIA — Product Knowledge Template 1 (KT1)

Product Knowledge Template 1 allows the instantiationof user-defined features created using Product KnowledgeTemplates 2 (PKT) in a CATPart document andmodification of these features by providing theappropriate input values and geometry references. Theproduct provides access to the intelligent user-definedfeatures that are stored in CATIA catalogs. Catalogsallow the reuse of these features and modification of theirdefined input parameters and geometric or parameterreferences.

The power of CATIA Version 5 means that the intelligencethat can be built into such features allows them to behighly adaptive to their use in context. Instances of thesefeatures also take advantage of the CATIA cataloginfrastructure to allow easy access to user featuresreferences. In the extended enterprise, this providesadditional benefits allowing downstream or upstreamorganizations to reuse the knowledge encapsulated withinthese features while restricting their ability to examinethe intellectual capital captured within the feature, henceprotecting the know-how of the creating organizationwhile still sharing best practices and facilitating reuse.This promotes standardization of design methodology andcan significantly improve design productivity.

CATIA — Product Knowledge Template 1 (KT1) fits theneeds of all types of designers in all industries.

• Instantiate predefined product knowledge templates ina CATPart document — Instantiation can be done froma catalog or directly from a file containing a productknowledge template definition. The templates can beinstantiated in context. During instantiation, the useris asked to select new geometry inputs or parameterinputs and can modify the published parameters.

• Automatically generate features from templates —Once the input specifications for the instantiatedtemplate are defined, a single feature is generated inthe CATPart specification tree and the relevantgeometry is created in context.

• Adapt generated instances to geometry or parameterreferences of context of use — The instantiation andgeneration process takes into account the intelligencebuilt into the template to adapt the result to its usagecontext. This approach allows the rules built into thetemplate to adapt the configuration of the resultingfeature based on the input parameters and geometryreferences.

• Enable post generation editing of instantiatedtemplates — The generated features retain theirintelligence within the CATPart specification. Anymodification to the input parameter values orgeometric references as the design matures areimmediately taken into account within the feature.Regeneration will adapt the feature to the new inputconditions. These changes could be manual valuesentered by the user for the feature or propagated fromother elements of the design.

Product Knowledge Template 1 provides significantbenefits in ease of use, productivity, and communicationwhen designing products that incorporate complexfeatures. It allows the reuse of sophisticated features thatincorporate adaptive rules without the need to understandthe internal complexities of the feature. The single entityrepresenting an instantiated template simplifies the viewof the product specification and allows sharing of

sophisticated capabilities across the extended enterprisewhile protecting the intellectual capital used to create it.

New Products


CATIA — Automotive Class A 3 (ACA)

Automotive Class A 3 creates and models aesthetic andergonomic shapes to the highest Class A qualitystandards. The product features new and unique surfacemodeling techniques such as reality modeling, freeformassociativity, and capture of design intent. Using thesebreakthrough methodologies, Automotive Class A 3dramatically improves the productivity and ease-of-useof the Class A design process compared to existingproducts. The product delivers an entirely new approachto Class A design and a new level of integration in theoverall development process.

• Reality modeling — Through seamless integration inthe global product definition process, AutomotiveClass A 3 permits direct access to arbitrary,concurrently active commands, such as local controlpoints, matchings, and fillets. The modeling processis completely managed by 3D interactive tools toprovide comprehensive dynamic performance anddirect shape control. The use of collaborativecommands frees the user from having to enter, leave,and then re-access commands hundreds of times aday, with all selection interactions involved. Thenumber of interactions required to obtain the desiredshape is greatly reduced so that the user can focus onthe modeling job instead of repetitive command usage.

• Freeform associativity — With freeform associativity,the product combines two worlds: parametric andfeature based methods and freeform modelingtechniques. As the user models shapes interactively,the product uses associative updates to managerelated Class A constraints, such as matchings, fillets,and flanges. In particular, the product preserves thedesign characteristics of those features. With thisunique combination of proven concepts, the productupdates all Class A features automatically in real time,keeping them current throughout the design process.

This approach allows the user to immediatelyunderstand the extended impact of each shapemodification as it is made, instead of, as in previoussystems, only after making a series of manualadjustments. For example, A Class A fillet remains aClass A fillet: when affected by an interactive shapeenhancement, the fillet can still be driven by itsparameters, such as the radius, keeping the shapecharacteristics up to date.

• Capture of design intent — Automotive Class A 3allows the user to store complete modelingenvironments with all active commands, features,constraints, selections, and graphic tools in Class Ascenes at any given time. This feature allows the workto be resumed later without having to redo or selectanything again. When combined with the use ofconcurrently active and associative commands, thiscapability allows the user to capture all designconstraints and dependencies throughout the life cycleof a design model. This means that Class A featuresdo not have to be done again and again; instead, thefeatures automatically adapt to the new shape, as thisfunction is already implemented in feature-basedbody-in-white applications.

• Function — In addition to the complete set of traditionalClass A commands, the product delivers powerful toolsthat are not available on the market today:

− G3 matching — a level beyond curvature continuity− Fillet-flange — fillet drives flange− Analysis modeling — such as on sections

− Display: A graphic color display compatible with theselected platform-specific graphics adapter. Theminimum recommended size for usability reasonsis 17 inches. Minimum resolution for Windowsworkstations is 800 x 600 and 1280 x 1024 for UNIXworkstations. When selecting a graphics adapter,hardware texturing capability is stronglyrecommended when using CATIA Version 5products that use texture mapping, in which casethe amount of texture RAM has to be adequate forthe number and complexity of textures to be used.

− Keyboard: A specific keyboard compatible with theselected installation locale may be required fornational language support.

− Pointing device: Three-button mouse. On Windowsworkstations, a two-button mouse may alternativelybe used (the third button is emulated with akeyboard sequence). The three-button mouse isrecommended for usability reasons. IntelliMouse(two buttons plus a wheel instead of the thirdbutton) is an alternative to the three-button mouseon Windows workstations. The wheel acts as the

-27- 201-177

middle button to allow additional manipulations,such as panning and scrolling.

• Optional Components and Features — For CATIA P2,SpaceBall or SpaceMouse, in addition to the standardmouse, can be used to perform graphic manipulations(zoom, pan, rotate). The required drivers aredelivered with these devices. Support of thesedevices is also available with the DMU Navigator 1(DN1) and DMU Space Analysis (SP1) P1 Add-onproducts.

The robustness of the overall solution is dependent on therobustness of the operating system and the hardwareenvironment used. Hardware configurations certified byDassault Systemes for running CATIA products arepublished at:

System Program Order

5628-ACN System Program Order

CATIA Version 5 programs for all platforms (UNIX andMicrosoft Windows) will be shipped under the 5628-ACNSystem Program Order (SPO). The SPO is required forall 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-xxxconfiguration for CATIA Version 5, an order must also beplaced for the 5628-ACN SPO. Both the 5691-xxx programorder and the SPO must be for the same CPU systemtype/system number and must have the same scheduledshipment date.

Subsequent Licenses: The SPO must have a featurenumber for every CATIA Version 5 configuration that isinstalled or on-order. Therefore, when a configurationthat was not previously installed is ordered, the SPO mustbe 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 Feature Numbers: The following no-chargeprogram feature numbers are used with the 5628-ACNSystem Program Order to show which configurations andproducts are installed. This information is used forshipment of media. The maximum quantity of each of thefeatures that may be specified is one for each of the 5691programs.

Installation License or Location License Applies: No

Usage Restriction Applies: Yes, as implemented by thelicensing mechanism described

The Licensing Mechanism

CATIA Version 5 Licensing on Workstations: Inworkstation environments, CATIA controls the number ofconcurrent users of a CATIA configuration or product,according to the number of licenses acquired for theconfiguration or product.

CATIA Version 5 delivers identical licensing mechanismson UNIX and Windows NT environments, based on IBMLicense Use Management (LUM). The following licensingprinciples apply:

• A CATIA Version 5 configuration (standard or custom)will require a license. Licenses for CATIA Version 5configurations are acquired and released for the totalconfiguration. The products within a configurationcannot be shared.

• CATIA Version 5 shareable products will require alicense, in addition to one for the prerequisiteconfiguration and any prerequisite product, ifapplicable.

• In all cases, licenses are acquired at the beginning ofthe process and are released at its termination.

CATIA Version 5 can be used in two licensing modes,either nodelock or with concurrent usage of licenses ona network.

Nodelock Usage: The use of local display of the hardwareconfiguration is mandatory for CATIA Version 5 usage innodelock mode. There is no limit to the number of CATIAVersion 5 processes launched for a given license(configuration or product). For instance, a user canlaunch the following simultaneous processes:

• A Version 5 interactive session• A Version 5 process executed through an OLE

container application• Replay of macros recorded from captured sequences

of Version 5 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. Ifyou want multiple licenses per configuration or product,or multiple users, refer to the Concurrent Usage section.

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.

Educational Allowance Available: No

CATIA Version 5 products are available under the CATIAHigher Education Academic Training (HEAT) program.

Contact Buz Nowicki ([email protected]) or248-552-5981 for additional information and approvals.

Electronic support gives the customer the option ofsubmitting code-related problems either by e-mail orthrough the PLM Web site using a ProblemManagement Report (PMR). When using the PMRoption, all communications will be through the PMR.It is the customer′s responsibility to monitor andupdate their problem no less than once a week.

If the problem reported is not known to be a code-relatedproblem, the customer will be informed that IBM willcontinue to work on it provided the customer has anEnhanced Support Offering (ESO) contract.

Additional information on the Enhanced Support Offeringand other available PLM services offerings are availableby visiting the PLM Web site at:

Preventive service is delivered through the next releaseof CATIA Version 5. The new release will also includecorrections to problems, depending on the time of theirsubmission and their severity.

Corrective service for CATIA Version 5 is deliveredthrough service packs on a regular basis. A service packincludes corrections for blocking problems in productionsystems reported on this release and all correctionsavailable for all components at the time it is built. Servicepacks are provided at the same time for all platformscurrently supported. Each service pack supersedes theprevious one and can be installed on top of the releasedlevel or on top of a previous service pack. No individualcorrections will be delivered between two service packs.Updates to online documentation will not be providedthrough service packs.

Customers may request a correction via a service packfor blocking problems. A blocking problem is defined as:

• A problem blocking production — this means thecustomer is already using the level for which herequests a fix in a production environment.

• A problem preventing migration — in this case, thecustomer must provide the migration plan.

• A problem blocking testing of a given level — in thiscase, a fix will allow the customer to continue thetesting.

• Installation problem — a problem which prevents thecustomer from installing or using the product.

• Regression — many problems reported as regressionsare due to an operation which 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, and trueregressions will be handled as blocking problems.

Requests for corrections to a given release of CATIAVersion 5 may be made up to four months after the nextrelease of CATIA Version 5 becomes generally available.After that date, no new service packs will be built for thatrelease. This final service pack will still be available forordering on CD-ROM via the IBM Support Centers for theduration of the service period of each release. Thisservice period ends four months after the generalavailability of the second subsequent release of CATIAVersion 5.

With the availability of this release, the date for the endof corrective service date for CATIA Version 5,Release 6 will be four months after the generalavailability date of this release; the end of service (EOS)date for CATIA Version 5 Release 5 will be four monthsafter the general availability date of this release.
