TAILORED SOLUTIONSBASED ON JOB-RELATED ROLESCATIA PLM EXPRESS DELIVERS ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY AND BENEFITSOF CATIA ORGANIZED INTO SIX COMMON ROLES TO ADDRESS SPECIFICBUSINESS REQUIREMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEFINITIONS.Layout EngineerThe layout engineer defines the productarchitecture with a comprehensive layoutdriven by product specifications,key dimensions and component placementin order to ensure product feasibility anddetailed design collaboration.With CATIA PLM Express, 2D/3Dtechnologies are flawlessly integratedfor easy and rapid iterations in orderto achieve the conceptual phase of theproduct and concurrently activate detaileddesign. Optimized design methodologiesare captured in templates and reusedinteractively by all designers, resulting indramatic productivity gains and providingagility for design changes.Styled ProductEngineerStyle is one of the crucial keys to developcustomer loyalty and capture new clients.Industrial designers need intuitive andeasy-to-use solutions to “Design at theSpeed of Imagination” and make theirideas come to life.CATIA PLM Express enables designers towork concurrently on style and engineering,and simulate the product’s appearancefor quick style validation. Integrating thestyling process with detailed design andmanufacturing allows companies to quicklylaunch new ideas in the marketplace.MechanicalProduct EngineerTo deliver the right products to eagercustomers in less time than ever before,mechanical and tooling designers need tocomplete tasks in minutes, instead of hours ordays, and to design products right the first time.CATIA PLM Express fosters the design offabricated, molded, cast, forged, machined,and composite parts with first-class,robust solutions. The unique and powerfulspecification-driven modeling approachpromotes efficient concurrent engineeringbetween styling and mechanical shape design,while ultra-fast functional modeling fostersproductivity and flexibility.6CATIA PLM Express

THE RIGHT FITBased on these six roles, a wide range of high-valued option packages are available to extendthe CATIA Team PLM core configuration and easily define the right solution for your business needs.Each option fulfills all major operational needs of a specific user profile or discipline. Most areavailable as shareable to provide you with high-value deployment and an easy path for growth.EquipmentProduct EngineerThe growing complexity of products and thedrive to reduce development time makesit critical to visualize the full virtual product,including the mechanical components as wellas fluid, electrical and other systems.CATIA PLM Express eases the definition ofa product’s equipment such as piping, tubingor the electrical control and power systems.The design of physical wire harnessesis driven by logical specifications and isintegrated with harness manufacturing.The realistic simulation of 3D wire harnesspackaging in an integrated environmentreduces design time and improves the overallquality of large-scale electrical systems.Review & OptimizeEngineerToday’s manufacturing industry demandsan extensive use of analysis, simulation,and collaborative review for better productassessments earlier in the design process.CATIA PLM Express offers a broad portfolioof powerful finite element modeling andanalysis solutions, fully integrated withinthe design environment to address theneeds of analysis engineers and designers.Reviewers and designers are connectedto make quick and efficient decisionswith advanced collaborative reviews ondigital prototypes directly in the 3D designenvironment.ManufactureEngineerEnsuring maximum product qualityand manufacturing efficiency requiresan easy-to-use and innovativeNC programming and machiningsimulation solution, fully immersedwithin the design environment.Widely used in large and small companieshandling 2.5-axis milling, 3-axis dedicatedto mold tooling manufacture, 4- and5-axis complex machining, as well aslathe machining, across manufacturingsegments (prototype, mold and die,complex aerospace parts, composites partsmanufacturing etc.), CATIA PLM Expresssignificantly reduces overall manufacturingprocess time.CATIA PLM Express 7
