This function enables OEMs to simulate all interactions Process-centric in the product environment within the same analysis case. Suppliers and OEMs can transfer complete elementary preprocessing and post-processing V5.16 accelerates product development processes such analysis features to their partners, thereby increasing as relational design and optimization, with 64-bit support collaboration and further promoting more efficient of the CATIA portfolio on Microsoft Windows. Taking full concurrent engineering across the extended advantage of superior 64-bit memory capacity, V5.16 enterprise. frees customers to create and analyze even the largest and most complex products. • The CATIA — Real Time Rendering product underpins • the new nVIDIA shaders technology to deliver 64-bit provides tremendous capacity for PLM users outstandingly realistic rendering that combines dealing with large amounts of data. It facilitates high-quality, real-time advanced effects on complex relational design methodology by offering a new way materials such as metallic car paint, varnished woods, of doing daily design work. and chrome materials. This enables early In complex automotive plastic parts design, for decision-making based on product appearance, instance, a car dashboard is usually cut into several reducing the need for expensive physical prototypes. parts, which are then worked on by different users. Zebra mapping geometrical analysis also benefits from This approach requires extra time to reconcile the this new shaders technological breakthrough to parts. With CATIA V5 64-bit, one user can work on the provide real-time, high-end surface quality analysis, whole dashboard, avoiding unnecessary duplication. resulting in a shortened free-form analysis cycle. This allows designers to fully benefit from V5, and particularly the specification/result mode, resulting in dramatic productivity gains. • Further ensuring the safety and comfort of workers and users, V5.16 reinforces the prevention of • troublesome postures using enhanced Rapid Upper 64-bit support also enables unmatched performance in Limb Assessment (RULA), as well as providing new computationally demanding activities such as finite back posture and load analysis.
