company can then define some in house processes between the Design and the
Manufacturing stage. It also provides with a powerful control tool of the integrity of the
Die design, preventing costly iteration between design and manufacturing

CATIA V5R19 increases design productivity in sheet metal design. Design productivity
increased with powerful Extrusion explodes improvement. It offers an explode mode
allowing user to generate associative wall on edge. Creating an extrusion becomes an
accelerator of the design. Exploding extrusion allows user to locally modify design
keeping associativity.

CATIA V5R19 for Analysis allows the mode shapes of two models to be animated
simultaneously. This allows for an easier comparison of the vibration characteristics of
two design alternatives. The animation makes it much easier to visualize and understand
the dynamic vibration of a product.

CATIA V5R19 brings new command to users in structures design. A new EndCut
command to support the creation, edition and deletion of end cuts. With the integration
of end cut for Beam in the Piece Part Engine: the user is then able to translate an
SFD/SDD feature during the explode mode through Piece Part process. With the
integration of end cut for Beam in Drafting: the new end cut command enables a user to
define end cut Graphic replacement. The user is able to manage different graphic
replacement for Beam pillar.

CATIA V5R19 ensures new improvement in the machining simulation domain.

Capability to support milling machine with interchangeable heads. This allow the
user to simulate Milling machines with interchangeable heads, thus enabling the
user to verify NC tool paths for travel limits, collisions and modify if necessary.

4
Machine configuration management within an operation. This provide with new
options in the existing tool path modify dialog and the tool path trace so that he
can force the selection of a particular machine configuration during machine
simulation. This will allow the user to associate and persist a machine
configuration along with a particular tool path point from within the tool path
modify dialog. This machine configuration will be applied during machine
simulation when the particular tool path point is to be reached.

CATIA V5R19 ensures the design of Machine Complex part with easy to use Multi axis
Machining: operations. The designer is provided with a new operation which is the Multi
Pocket Flank contouring. The multiple tool axis is supported for the 'point to point'
operation. And the tool axis may be driven by an auxiliary surface (sweeping, contour
driven, iso-parametric, curve following) through the 5x operation.

CATIA V5R19 reduces the Programming time and reduces the Machining time. To get
an accurate information, the user can display the in-process stock on each milling or
turning operations. The tool path replay includes the capability to check collision with
part and fixture defined in the PO. During a contour driven operation, an extra guide may
be defined: by 2 points, point and direction, and an automatic guide contour may be
computed to enable contact point on guide curve. Multiple radial passes may be
operated for thread and circular milling operations.

CATIA V5R19 enlarges and optimizes Machining process and technology. New
operations are brought for probing in context of NC machines. Regarding the plunge
milling, a new mode « by offset on contour » is offered. The clearance management has
been federated and the tool path cornerization is proposed. As for the Mill-Turn, the
capability of C axis management on a turret is available, it is possible to process
machining on main spindle and counter spindle part with the same tool and the user may
invert the tool orientation (0°-180°). Concerning DPM Machining, conical tool and user
profile tool are supported in IPM generation for profile contouring.

Design performance for Innovation, Just be the imagineer

CATIA V5R19 brings 2 new approaches for the end to end composite process. These
two additional approaches are the grid and solid approaches. Industry in Aerospace but
also Energy for the turbine wings design are provided with a better optimization in the
composite design steps and a better mating with structural parts.
CATIA V5R19 expands the power of 3D to terrain modeling discipline that requires large
scale modelization capabilities.
The user gets the ability to work with meshed surfaces and volumes
(Tessellation, Multi-slice commands, etc…), and the capability to easily edit the
meshes. He may create and manage Z-Level curves. The building implantation
analysis benefits from dedicated improvements. The manipulation performances
have been greatly enhanced.

CATIA V5R19 provides with the Intersection Edge Fillet to improve the update stability
during design changes:

Part Design increases the user daily productivity: the Intersection Edge Fillet.
This functionality helps the user to create fillets with the appropriate definition,

5
which is a definition by the intersection of several features, beyond the
intersection of faces. As a consequence, it improves the update stability during
design changes. Moreover, it facilitates the capture and the reuse of the part
design features. For example, user can define a power copy including a set of
features and a fillet defined at a feature intersection level. When this power copy
feature is re-instantiated in another context, the fillet is correctly updated as it
does not depend on the intersection of the selected faces but on the intersection
of the features.

CATIA V5R19 improves productivity by an easier definition and a better stability of the
Blend Corner:

The Blend Corner capability and stability improve. This helps extend its usage for
fillet definition (getting rid of small edges selection) and prevent the redefinition of
former blend corners when modifying an Edge Fillet. Its user interface has been
enhanced (creation by selection of edges or vertices, edition of the value,
remove) to improve productivity.

CATIA V5R19 allows user to define the Gage Taper Hole main diameter using the
selected face as the reference

The user interface of the Gage Taper Hole has been improved: a new
computation mode enables user to compute the tapered hole by using the
selected face as the reference for the main diameter.

CATIA V5R19 for Analysis now allows frictional effects to be included in contact
analyses, allowing these types of products to be simulated, as well as making it easier to
analyze models that are under constrained if friction is not included. The technology and
methods used are the same as those used in SIMULIA’s Abaqus product, so they have
been proven over many years of production use.

Breakthrough technologies, Your innovation starts with ours

CATIA V5R19 improves and accelerates the part and tooling design review process for
manufacturability with the Wall Thickness Analysis for Cast & Forge

After having delivered the Automatic Fillet and the Automatic Draft for the Cast &
Forged Optimizer (CFO) product, DS keeps on delivering CFO add-ons with CFO
Wall Thickness Analysis. This new capability improves and accelerates the part
and tooling design review process for manufacturability, not only in casting et
Forging processes but also in Injection Molding processes for Plastic Part
Design. It allows analyzing the part thickness either by projecting a ray from the
selected point inside the part and normally to its surface, or by rolling a sphere of
a maximal diameter inside the part. Moreover, these tools are coupled with a
dynamic sectioning view and a transparent mode display, allowing a detailed and
accurate analysis. As a result, it provides with a very quick identification of thin or
thick critical areas.

CATIA V5R19 enables automatic filleting in Shape Design. Automatic filleting represents
a significant process improvement, especially in the design for the plastic part, mold part.

6
Previously, the process of filleting sharp edges to conform to existing features was a
repetitive and very time-consuming phase of the shape design process. This new
capability can automatically fillet the sharp edges of a shape in a single operation.
Automatic filleting is particularly helpful for fillet manufacturing preparation.

CATIA V5R19 delivers Fast Surfaces creation from Curves in Imagine and Shape. Two
new primitive commands have been added through intuitive and productive interface
with no additional geometry creation. The extruded profile command enables the
designer to draw directly the profile from the extrude command. The modification of the
profile can be made dynamically within the extrude command. Another command is
provided to revolve the profile around an axis definition.

CATIA V5R19 brings advanced effects in rendering like soft shadows from multiple light
sources. Shadows have been made more realistic with the addition of multiple light
sources. The user has now the ability to compute and to store light maps off-line. He
may then load them so that a scene can be rendered in real time without waiting on
calculations to be made.

When used to simulate design performance, CATIA V5R19 for Analysis features
improved meshing in thin sections. Many parts have thin sections, and it is desirable that
the finite element mesh has at least two elements through the thickness to ensure
accurate simulation results, which often required manual intervention. In V5R19, a single
mouse click ensures that an accurate mesh is obtained in these situations, resulting in
saved time and improved accuracy of the analysis.

CATIA V5R19 for Analysis has enhanced quadrilateral shell meshing for more precise
design simulation results. The mesh is better aligned with the primary geometric
directions, resulting in an improved mesh and more accurate results.

management solution on the V6 platform

CATIA V5R19 improves 3DXML export with shader support. A full compatibility with
CgFX is provided for shadows. More materials have been added to the materials library,
such as CarPaint and external shaders can be imported for even more effects.

CATIA V5R19 improves 3D annotations review using 3D XML. The FT&A features
defined in CATProduct and in CATProcess documents can be saved in .3dxml
documents as well as .CATPart annotations. It allows user to review them either using
the DMU Dimensioning & Tolerancing Review product or the 3D Live FT&A Review
product.

CATIA V5R19 is now supporting new CAD format. Regarding the multiCAD capability,
new formats are supported, such as SW2007, SW2008, SolidEdge V20, Parasolid V18
and UG NX4, NX5.

CATIA V5R19 provides CATIA application infrastructures with a large scale
management. After having addressed Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Industry in
V5R18 with the Small scale management, DS provides with a large scale management
(from 0.1mm up to 10 km). Mechanical Infrastructure enables to design 3D large scale
objects, as dams for example. This large scale management benefits from a whole
integration in Generative Drafting and 2D Layout.

CATIA V5R19 ensures alignment to latest PROStep/PDES.inc recommended practices

for the control of STEP transfers. New STEP validation properties are taken into account
for assemblies. This allows checking assemblies’ conversion even when the geometry is
not exchanged (e.g. nested assemblies).
