Catiav5 Electrical

This document provides an overview of Dassault Systemes' CATIA V5 electrical design software. It describes the challenges of wire harness design such as complexity, standards/regulations, and costs. CATIA V5 aims to address these with a digital mock-up, integrated design process, and complete electrical information. It presents the electrical design process and CATIA V5's electrical products for functional design, logical design, physical design, and manufacturing documentation. These include libraries, routing, flattening, and flex simulation. The document also discusses CATIA integration with schematic applications from CAA and other partners.
