Administration Roadmap

To implement Design with CATIA V5, certain software components must be installed, set up, configured, and customized to match your business processes and environment.

To implement Design with CATIA V5 on-premises, you must first install the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as described in Installation and Administration: 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Collaboration and Approvals is part of 3DSpace, which is installed as part of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

If you are using CATIA V5 level between V5-6R2015 and V5-6R2017, you must install Design with CATIA V5 using the ENOVIA_UT5.win_b64 build. You must ensure that you have the UT5 (ENOVIA Unified Collaborative Design for CATIA V5 Server) license on the client side. If you are using CATIA V5 level on V5-6R2018, you do not need any additional installation, or any additional V5 license. You can configure and activate ENOVIA Unified Collaborative Design - Connector for CATIA V5 using the Options dialog box. You can select CATIA V5 PoweredBy 3DEXPERIENCE in the Integration mode area for any V5 level.

Design with CATIA V5 is available on cloud.

If you have created V5 data on a particular release level, it will not be readable on a V5 level that is lower than that level.

The following table lists the supporting components that need to be installed and configured. It includes references to information to help you do so. For Design with CATIA V5, the table provides cross references to topics that describe those configuration steps and options.
