CAA V5

CAA RADE V5 is the next-generation middleware for implementing 3D PLM best practices and business processes through process-centric applications.

Deploying PLM necessitates that product life-cycle development capability has significant breadth and depth. The specific company's need will further require that capability can be expanded, tailored, extended, and integrated.

These requirements necessitate openness and the ability to reapply components to achieve different behavior or capability. The component application architecture delivered with the V5 products is specifically developed to meet these needs.

This is augmented through a community of application developers who have recognized the value of PLM and the opportunity to enrich V5 through their areas of expertise. Market leaders in each of their respective disciplines characterize the richness of the partner community around V5.

CAA V5 value to the user spans three fields of activity:

• PLM users can build useful applications to fulfill their company-specific needs.
• Third-party developers can broaden the PLM application portfolio for extended:
  • Vertical industry and process support
  • Discipline support
• Services companies can implement best practices on top of PLM solutions.
• 
  

  CAA RADE offers the following benefits:

  • Optimized overall speed and quality of development of applications for PLM
    • Integrated software life-cycle solution
    • Toolset that extends industry leader and market standard Interactive Development Environment (IDE)
    • Single toolset for PLM solution brands
    • Single source that builds on UNIX from Windows platforms
  • Increased development speed
    • Best practices is achieved through use of code-generation wizard.
    • Effective application development integration puts product in operation on time, on budget.
  • Increased reliability of development application
  • CAA RADE is the automated part of the development life cycle.
  • Thoroughly-tested API component can be reused.
  • Automated test at build-time and run-time ensures compliance with quality criteria.
• Increased core business value with CAA V5 application
• Delivers powerful visual modeling capabilities
• Frees developers to focus on building their applications rather than reinventing the wheel
• Leverages existing data model without affecting the authoring tools (for example, CATIA V5 and ENOVIA VPLM)

Note: For proper operation, both the CAA RADE V5 tools and APIs must be at the same version and release. Previously created CAA applications must be recompiled before they are used with the current release.
