CATIA Composite Design 3 (CD3)

CATIA Composite Design 3 (CD3) configurations provide the tools you need to design composite parts in the context of a digital mock-up. In addition to its productive core product, CATIA Composites Design 3 (CPD), the CD3 configuration delivers advanced mechanical and surface tools to manage design changes. These tools are supported by available knowledgeware solutions in order to capture and reuse corporate know-how and draw upon standard rule bases that accompany the user throughout the design cycle. This design cycle is fully integrated into the CATIA Version 5 Product Process Resource model and takes into account the FEA analysis process, which is essential to composites design as well as ensuring the manufacturability of the assembly created. CD3 is a perfect fit in the design-to-manufacturing process and can help your company achieve its right-to-market business goal.
