The latest V5 release includes a major new evolution in multi-version compatibility, which enables CATIA Version 5 users to edit key features of Version 6 CAD models from within Version 5. No other company in the CAD / PLM industry offers this level of downward compatibility between versions. This represents another quantum leap in an ongoing series of V5-V6 collaboration capabilities. With this new enhancement, Version 6 users are able to send their designs to a supplier who uses Version 5, freeing users of both versions to modify the design at the feature level as it changes and matures. Dassault Systèmes has renamed this release of V5 to V5-6R2012 to emphasize the continuing compatibility and synchronization between V5 and V6,...

SOLIDCast® lets you see how your casting will solidify before you make pattern equipment, dies and costly mistakes. Pour your test castings on the computer, not on the foundry floor! Design gates, risers and test them out before making your first casting. Solidification modeling helps you to shorten lead times, produce higher quality and improve yield. All of this means lower costs, higher profits and improved marketability for your foundry. Investment Cast Steel Valve Body SOLIDCast® can be used to simulate castings poured in gray iron, ductile iron, steel, aluminum, copper-base, magnesium, nickel-based and almost any other alloy. A database of several hundred alloys, with their properties, is included. With SOLIDCast® you can simulate processes such as green sand, chemically-bonded...
