Systems simulation (HVAC, Electrical)
Introduction
CATIA (computer-aided three dimensional interactive application) is a commercial computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering software program made by Dassault Systèmes. The program is developed to provide support from design conception through production and product analysis. It is available for Microsoft Windows, Solaris "Solaris (operating system)"), IRIX and HP-UX.
It provides an open architecture for application development or program customization. The application programming interfaces, CAA2 (or CAAV5), can be programmed in Visual Basic and C++.
It was initially developed to serve the aeronautical industry. Great emphasis has been placed on handling complex surfaces. CATIA is also widely used in the automotive industry for the design and development of body components. Specifically, companies such as the VW Group (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda), BMW, Renault, Peugeot, Daimler AG, Chrysler, Smart "Smart (car)") and Porsche make extensive use of the program. The construction industry has also incorporated the use of software to develop buildings of great formal complexity; The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, in Spain, is an architectural landmark that exemplifies the use of this technology.
Currently, CATIA developers continue to innovate their software. The CATIA-V5-6R2019 version is under development; a new immersive collaboration experience where teams can collaborate through a virtual reality that connects them through "plug and play" (an HTC Vive head-mounted display) to immediately transition into a shared virtual reality experience where you can walk around and interact with the product.[1].
History
CATIA was developed in 1971 internally by the French aircraft production company Avions Marcel Dassault. At that time, CADAM" software customers used CATIA to develop the Mirage fighter aircraft. It was later used in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding and other industries.
Initially called CATI (Conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive - French for assisted and interactive design in three dimensions), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created a branch to develop and sell the software and signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with IBM.[2].
In 1984, the Boeing company chose CATIA v2 as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its longest customer.
In 1988, CATIA v3 was ported from the mainframe to a portable operating system (UNIX).

Initially called CATI (Conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive - French for assisted and interactive design in three dimensions), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created a branch to develop and sell the software and signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with IBM.[2].
In 1990, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation established, like Boeing, used CATIA as its primary 3D CAD tool to design the US Navy ship Virginia class submarine. Additionally, Lockheed was selling its CADAM system globally through the IBM channel since 1978.
In 1992, CADAM was sold by IBM, and the following year CATIA CADAM V4 was published.
In 1996, it was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS, and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX.
In 1998, V5 was released and was a completely rewritten version of CATIA with support for UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP (since 2001).[3].
In the years before 2000, problems caused due to incompatibility between Catia versions (V4 and V5) left $6.1B in additional costs due to years of delays in Airbus A380 production projects.[4].
In 2008, Dassault Systèmes released CATIA V6.[5] While servers can run on Microsoft Windows, UNIX or AIX, customer support for any non-Microsoft system was eliminated.[6].
In November 2010, Dassault Systèmes released CATIA V6R2011x, the latest release of its PLM2.0 platform, as it continues to fund and improve its CATIA V5 software.
In June 2011, Dassault Systèmes released V6 R2012.
In 2012, Dassault Systèmes released V6 2013x.
In 2014, Dassault Systèmes launched 3DEXPERIENCE Platform R2014x[7] and CATIA in the Cloud, a cloud version of its software.[8][9].

Architect Frank Gehry has used the software for his award-winning curvilinear buildings. Its technology branch has been developing software based on CATIA V5 called Digital Project. This project competes to be number one in the market with Graphisoft's ARCHICAD, Revit, Bentley Systems and other building information modeling applications.
Scope of application
Comúnmente se hace referencia al paquete de software referido al tratamiento del ciclo de vida del producto en 3D, CATIA aparece en múltiples etapas del desarrollo del producto (CAx), incluyendo la conceptualización, diseño (CAD), ingeniería (CAE) y producción (CAM). CATIA facilita la colaboración con la ingeniería mediante las disciplinas referidas a plataformas de experiencia en 3D (3DEXPERIENCE), donde se incluyen aspectos de superficies y diseños nuevos, diseño de sistemas fluidos y electrónicos, ingeniería mecánica e ingeniería de sistemas.
CATIA facilita el diseño de sistemas electrónicos, eléctricos y distributivos como los sistemas HVAC.
Mechanical Engineering
CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, 2D sketches, sheet metal, composite materials, molded, forged or tool parts until the definition of their mechanical assembly. The software provides advanced technology for BIW and surface machining. Provides tools to complete product definitions, including functional tolerances as well as kinematic definitions. CATIA provides a wide range of applications for tooling design. In the case of aerospace engineering, a new module is included that offers users a combination of laminate design and surface design generation capabilities.[33].
Design
CATIA offers a solution to facilitate the work and visualization process to create, modify,[34] and validate complex and innovative shapes for industrial design. CATIA appears in multiple stages of product design from its first sketches or from 2D sketches.[33].
Systems engineering
CATIA's systems engineering solution delivers a unique, open and extensible development systems (engineering) platform that fully integrates the multidisciplinary area of shaping, simulation, verification and business process support required to develop complex cyber-physical products. This allows organizations to evaluate proposed changes, or develop new products or system variants using a unified performance based on the engineering systems approach. The solution is aimed at model-based systems engineering (MBSE), which requires users to develop today's intelligent products and systems, and includes the following elements: Engineering Requirements, Architectural Systems Modeling, Behavioral Systems Modeling and Simulation, Configuration Management and Life Cycle Traceability, Embedded Automotive Systems Development (AUTOSAR Builder) and Industrial Automation Systems Development (ControlBuild).
CATIA makes use of an open language known as "Modelica" in both CATIA Dynamic Behavior Modeling and Dymola), to achieve a quick and easy model, and thus simulate complexes that span multiple engineering disciplines. CATIA and Dymola are widespread thanks to the availability of a large number of industries and the mastery of specific libraries of the Modelica complex language that allow the user to model and simulate a wide range of complex systems (spanning from dynamics of automotive vehicles to the dynamics of aircraft flight).[35].
Electrical systems
CATIA V5 offers a solution to develop the design and production of electrical systems that covers the complete process from conceptual design to production. With this version of CATIA you can easily create cable harnesses by designing them directly in 3D. It also allows you to create the different pieces and join them with the created cable harnesses.[36].
fluid systems
CATIA provides a solution to facilitate the design and production of distribution systems, including pipe runs, ducting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). CATIA's capabilities for this aspect include 2D diagrams for hydraulic, pneumatic, HVAC systems, as well as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID). It also has greater capabilities that allow these 2D diagrams to interact with the route planning and placement of the system components, in the context of digitally creating a scale model of the complete process or production plant, from the distribution of production information including reviews and isometric pipeline plans.[37].
CATIA V4/V5/V6 File Compatibility and Conversion
Dassault Systèmes provides tools to convert CATIA V4 files so that they are accessible for the new versions of CATIA V5 and V6. However, some cases show that there may be problems in converting data from CATIA V4 to CATIAV5 due to differences in the geometric conversion modeling of both or due to the modeling methods used by the end user. The percentage of loss of such data can be minimized by using appropriate pre-conversion cleaning, choosing the most appropriate conversion options, performing pre-cleaning after conversion.
The conversion of CATIA from versions 4 to 5 has caused problems for the Airbus A380. Those problems left $6.1 billion in additional costs due to years of project delays when it was realized that the wiring was too short to make the connections.
The transition from V5 to V6 was easier because they share the same geometric conversion modeling. The third part of the files referred to the translation between versions also converts the CATIA files between the two versions.
In 1984, the Boeing company chose CATIA v2 as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its longest customer.
In 1988, CATIA v3 was ported from the mainframe to a portable operating system (UNIX).
