Update of Dassault Systemes flagship and worlds leading software products that support the design and the search for innovation, possessing a full set of advanced technologies for 3D modeling, software simulation of complex processes analysis and a unified database of textual and graphical information.

About Dassault Systemes:
Since it was created in 1981, Dassault Systemes has helped its industrial customers maximize product design and development. First used to design complex shapes, 3D now makes it possible to design and manufacture products creating digital mockups. Today, Dassault Systemes anticipates the industrial processes of tomorrow, with solutions that provide a 3D view of a products lifecycle, from creation to maintenance, including manufacturing and recycling.

About Dassault Systemes CATIA V5R20:
CATIA is Dassault Systemes Pioneer Brand and the Worlds leading solution for Product Design and Innovation. Several thousands of companies in multiple industries Worldwide have already chosen the Virtual Design capabilities of CATIA products to ensure their products Real Success. CATIA delivers solutions for the enterprise from large OEMs through their supply chains to Small and Medium Businesses.

- 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.
