Objects and Relationships

Every time a CATIA V5 design is saved to 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, the design is split and exposed as Objects linked together through Relationships in X-CAD Design Management.

Object Versioning

Most of the time, you can expect that any given file from a CATIA V5 design will end up in an object created just for it, and links between features from other files to features in this file will translate into relationships between the respective objects.

There are some exceptions though, for example, a CATProduct file containing several embedded components will be exposed as several objects (one for the root product, and one for each embedded component).
