Creating a Product

Products that you create in Engineering Release have basic attributes such as a name, owner, and revision. You can add child products to it, assign effectivity to instances of the product, and perform other tasks. After creating the product, you can open it in CATIA as a part or assembly and continue building it. You can also create the assembly or part in CATIA and open it as a product in Engineering Release.

You can create a stand-alone product from the home page or as a child of another product. Products that you create start in the In Work lifecycle state.
