Composites software tackles complexity 01/04/2007
 
CATIA V5 Composites Design – developed from Airbus and Boeing work processes – is an advanced solution that allows companies to reduce the design and manufacturing time for complex composite parts.

It is already used by major aircraft and helicopter manufacturers and suppliers, Formula 1 teams and yacht designers but is the kind of software that will increasingly find its way into automotive industry R&D establishments.
The latest system delivers software tools covering preliminary and detailed design phases while taking into account, even at the concept stage, product manufacturing requirements. And, thanks to the use of powerful synchronisation mechanisms, it engineering and manufacturing can collaborate throughout the product development process.
