Design Engineering

The Design & Engineering bundles deliver precision with advanced tools for parametric and functional design, surface modeling and real-time visualization. Engineers can create, test and refine complex geometries, ensuring manufacturability and performance before production.
Digital workflows enable rapid iterations, easy modifications and seamless collaboration across teams. The platform also supports advanced simulations and analyses, bridging the gap between concept and production to reduce time-to-market and improve product quality.

Design Engineering is a curated bundle designed for engineers at SMEs, startups and engineering teams who need CATIA's core capabilities.
- You need immediate access to your design solution
- You need 3D modeling and collaboration in a single subscription
- You want CATIA-grade precision without managing IT deployment or setup delays

Being cloud-based offers advantages in collaboration, accessibility and software updates. It reduces IT overhead and enables work from any location. 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA provides equal or greater processing power for complex models as traditional desktop CAD, while delivering exceptional memory management for efficient design within the context of large assemblies.

Accurate analysis tools optimize design, including impact studies, clash detection and human interaction assessments.
Kinematics scenarios accelerate with intuitive connections, recognizing defined constraints, weight, materials and COG.
Engineers can also easily analyze complex mechanisms and validate assemblies with advanced kinematics simulation capabilities.

If you’re a user of 3DEXPERIENCE PLM Express, you can start using our 3D UNIVERSES features right away. Embedded in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and leveraged via our three industry-specialist Virtual Companions, 3D UNIVERSES are your direct route to powerful, trustworthy, science-backed industrial AI problem-solving. 

Concurrent design and unified product structures reduce errors and enhance productivity, while seamless process transitions ensure real-time visibility for teams. This creates a single source of truth and facilitates informed decision-making.
This supports seamless collaboration across disciplines for reviews and lifecycle management, improving overall project efficiency. Web applications enable effective exploration and annotation of large assemblies, enhancing collaboration in project management.
A cloud-based tool streamlines task management while fostering innovation, allowing teams to execute business tasks with intuitive no-code graphic tools. Additionally, integrated CAD and BOM management promotes collaboration through shared definitions and better navigation within product structures.

We treat your engineering data as mission-critical. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform operates with a 99.5% service level agreement (SLA), ensuring your team has near-constant access to their tools.
Our operations are governed by an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, reflecting our commitment to rigorous, repeatable process excellence. 
Furthermore, our security posture is globally aligned with OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project) standards to proactively defend against modern web vulnerabilities.

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA integrates with other design tools through STEP, IGES and other formats. It also natively integrates with DELMIA for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and SIMULIA for product behavior management. This enables a smooth transition from 3D modeling to production, allowing CNC machining, 3D printing and design simulations.
3DEXPERIENCE CATIA also integrates with ERPs and production systems using integrated BOM management, seamlessly connecting CAD, EBOMs and MBOMs.
3DEXPERIENCE CATIA also integrates with business process management (BPM), a low-code workflow solution that connects people, data and technology across enterprise-wide processes.
