Goes Beyond 3D CAD Design to Encourage Innovation
3DEXPERIENCE® CATIA
Database-driven, cloud-native CATIA — the next generation of design environment. Unified suite for design, simulation, and data management on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enabling global concurrent work across distributed teams.
Overview
Experience the Power of CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform lets you understand your real world better by modelling your enterprise virtually. Powerful 3D solutions let you design, simulate, test, and train your supply chain, assets, products, and processes.
The Virtual Twin Experience is a dynamic and accurate virtual model that lets you assess the impact of physical changes, new products, operational processes, and disruptions — minimising costs and waste while accelerating planned changes to respond to dynamic conditions.
Why 3DEXPERIENCE
How 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Is Different
If you've been running CATIA V5 for years, here's what changes.
Database-Driven
No more file-based design. Models live in a managed database — single source of truth, with built-in version control and access management.
Cloud or On-Premises
Public cloud for instant access without heavy IT, or on-premises for environments that require it. The portfolio is now more roles available On Cloud than On Premise.
Real-Time Collaboration
Global concurrent work — multiple designers in the same assembly at the same time. No file checkout drama, no "who has the latest version?"
Role-Based Packaging
Apps packaged as Roles matched to a person's job — designer, simulation analyst, project manager — instead of disconnected modules.
Unified Design + Sim
Integrated design, simulation, and data management in one suite — MODSIM unifies modelling and simulation on a common data model.
AI & Generative
CATIA R2026x features AI-driven design, simulation, and Virtual Twin technology. Augmented Engineering empowers teams; generative design redefines the Space of Possibilities.
