What is CAD software?
CAD (computer aided design) software brings 3D design capabilities to engineers enabling them to create, modify and/or analyse graphical representations of product designs. This reduces design errors, allowing new products to be built with more accuracy and precision from the very beginning and reducing costly errors further down the road.
Our CAD software

CATIA
CATIA (computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application) is a leading 3D CAD (computer-aided design) software developed by Dassault Systèmes. It is widely recognized for its advanced capabilities in product design and experience.
CATIA supports multiple stages of product development, including conceptualization, design, engineering, and manufacturing. CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE and CATIA V5 are two of the most widely used versions, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for professionals across industries.

SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS is a powerful and widely used 3D CAD (Computer-aided design) and CAE (Computer-aided engineering) software developed by Dassault Systemes, designed to help engineers and designers create precise 3D models and assemblies for a variety of industries.
SOLIDWORKS supports the entire product development process from initial design to manufacturing, with advanced tools for simulation, data management, and colloraboration, through its integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Industries that use our CAD programs
Our CAD software is used across major engineering and design industries to create visual represenations of products. It allows teams to test product ideas at the ideation and design stage. This prevents fixable errors from occurring further down the line. Some industries where our CAD software is popular include:

CATIA and SOLIDWORKS are used across the automotive industry to help keep the world moving! From Automotive design where new conceptual sketches and detailed assembly modelling and simulation all come together. Or automotive engineering were new components are designed and tested in a virtual environment. Our CAD drafting software does it all!

From designing and testing electronics, appliances and furniture, to designing products with the most detailed of intricate details and aesthetics. Both SOLIDWORKS and CATIA are used across the consumer goods industry to help brands bring the best possible prodcuts to market.

From providing a robust platform for designing aircraft components and systems that must adhere to the strictest safety and performance standards. To designing and testing components such as aircraft wings, fuselages, and engines. Our Dassault Systemes CAD software makes aerospace engineering processes more streamlined and effective.

Our CAD software is used in the creation and management of complicated industrial machinery and tooling designs. From creating detailed 3D models for machinery such as pumps, to completing structural analysis and motion simulation to ensure the equipment is robust and operates smoothly. Both SOLIDWORKS and CATIA are well suited to this industry.
