CATIA Disciplines
Construction
The design and engineering processes for complex buildings and infrastructure project development require close collaboration among multiple stakeholders and across all project phases. Additionally, increasingly complex construction projects require that all teams rely on CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE virtual twin technology as a ‘common language’ to facilitate collaboration and reduce rework between phases.
CATIA allows architects, engineers, owners, and governments to build and collaborate beyond the limits of traditional project delivery methods, by delivering a range of 3D modelling and experience solutions that span the whole design, engineering and delivery process. This allows for complete digital continuity for diverse project teams on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
