- Native Class A Automotive Surfacing Within V5: ICEM Shape Design products are now delivered on standard CATIA V5 media supporting traditional V5 installation, licensing and administration procedures.
- CATIA Composites Excellence:
The new Light Manufacturing Part Generation product notably enhances productivity and collaboration by allowing users to work concurrently on the same composite part, later merging and synchronizing separately designed stacks into a single manufactured composite part.
A new grid-based design methodology automatically generates plies by taking each cell’s composite specifications defined during simulation and applying composite design best practices.
- Enhanced STEP Interface: CATIA V5R20 enhances openness and collaboration by introducing a unique new product, CATIA Extended STEP Interface. It advances large assembly archiving with nested assembly support and will include full composite data and FT&A in the standard STEP format. This enables long-term archiving of this data, as well as improves data exchange between different CAD formats.
- Mechanical Part Design enhancements: In particular, progress in functional modeling (from plastic to cast and forged parts) now addresses Powertrain processes, as well better collaboration on complex parts. Functional modeling allows users to design oil pans, gear boxes, or motor brackets up to 40% faster.
Deliver CATIA integrated solution with CATIA ICEM Shape Design to fully address Automotive Class A
Delivered on standard CATIA V5 media supporting traditional V5 installation, licensing and administration procedures, ICEM Shape Design (ISD) V5R20 now becomes an integral part of your CATIA V5 deployment. ISD R20 extends its advanced and powerful freeform surface creation, modification and analysis capabilities within the Class A modeling domain.
Support composites data in the standard STEP format and increase productivity with Light Manufacturing Part Generation
CATIA V5R20 is the first solution that supports composites data in the standard STEP format. As a result, long-term archiving of composite data is becoming a reality, especially for the aerospace industry. This new support of composites in the STEP format also leverages the exchange of data between different CAD vendors. In addition, users can greatly increase productivity with Light Manufacturing Part Generation, which ensures that manufactured parts can be quickly created and synchronized with designed parts.
Industrial Design : Accelerate, unify, and streamline the conceptual design and surfacing workflow with new Imagine & Shape features
The powerful new Subdivision Net Surfaces feature in Imagine & Shape allows users to combine the curve-based approach with subdivision surfaces clay modeling. This feature helps increase design quality and empower the Creative Designer with greater capabilities. Imagine & Shape is particularly beneficial to the styling centers/design studios in transportation & product design industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Yacht, High Tech, Consumer goods, Packaging & Life science medical device.
Mechanical
Enhancements of Mechanical Part Design products and tools
The Functional Modeling Part product has been enhanced to address the design processes of customers in the Powertrain domain as well as to support complex part design. Functional Modeling technology allows users to design oil pans, gear boxes, or motor brackets up to 40% faster. Enhancements have also been added to the Fillet comman to ensure better robustness, and to the Wall Thickness Analysis tool to ensure better design quality and manufacturability. All of these enhancements are particularly beneficial to the Powertrain domain.
Comply with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification policies
The 3D Insight product has been developed to comply with FAA certification policies which require there be only one model and one modifier, a primary engineer, during the entire development, deployment, manufacturing and management lifecycle. This feature applies to the aeronautical industry.
