catia competes in the highend cad/cam/cae market with siemens nx.

commonly referred to as a 3d product lifecycle management software suite, catia supports multiple stages of product development (cax), from conceptualization, design (cad), manufacturing (cam), and engineering (cae). catia facilitates collaborative engineering across disciplines, including surfacing & shape design, mechanical engineering, equipment and systems engineering.

catia provides a suite of surfacing, reverse engineering, and visualization solutions to create, modify, and validate complex innovative shapes. from subdivision, styling, and class a surfaces to mechanical functional surfaces.

catia enables the creation of 3d parts, from 3d sketches, sheetmetal, composites, molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. it provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances, as well as kinematics definition.

catia facilitates the design of electronic, electrical as well as distributed systems such as fluid and hvac systems, all the way to the production of documentation for manufacturing.
