What is CATIA (Dassault)?

CATIA, developed by Dassault Systemes in France, is a multi-platform suite for 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and product lifecycle management, widely used in aerospace and automotive industries for its advanced surface modeling. Modern CATIA runs on the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform, combining parametric modeling, generative design, finite element simulation, systems engineering, and collaborative data management in one environment.

Dassault Systemes does not publish CATIA pricing and instead directs buyers to contact sales for a custom quote based on modules, seats, and contract length. Third-party estimates suggest costs from roughly $7,000 per year for a basic mechanical subscription up to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for multi-seat enterprise deployments, but none of these figures are confirmed on Dassault's own site.
