Catia (computer aided three dimensional interactive application) is a comercial designing software.
CATIA V5 is the leading solution for product development success. It addresses all
manufacturing organizations, from OEMs through their supply chains, to small
independent producers. CATIA, for virtual product design, can be applied to a wide
variety of industries, from aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery, to
electronics, shipbuilding, plant design, and consumer goods. Today, CATIA is used to
design anything from an airplane to jewelry and clothing. With the power and functional
range to address the complete product development process, CATIA supports product
engineering, from initial specification to product-in-service, in a fully-integrated manner. It
facilitates reuse of product design knowledge and shortens development cycles, helping
enterprises accelerate their response to market needs.
