CATIA - Concept Product Creation
Styling creative work at the speed of the imagination

Today?s competitive market requires companies to quickly deliver aesthetically appealing products to define new trends. Because style is one of the crucial keys to develop customer loyalty and capture new clients, companies need to strengthen their brand identity and to differentiate it from the competition.
Overview
CATIA - Concept Product Creation delivers ultra fast modeling technology for industrial designers to embrace styling creation, directly in the CATIA design environment. It includes the powerful ray-tracing engine enabling realistic simulation of the product?s appearance for quick style validation.

Customer Benefits
Ultra fast modeling · Innovative ideas captured in a natural way · Instant concept morphing for fast styling iterations · Productivity gains resulting in more creative concepts exploration · Easy to learn and use for non-CAD specialist
CATIA design environment · Collaborative environment for quick propagation of design
changes · Ready-to-use styling surfaces for product engineering and
manufacturing
Style validation · Quick validation of the product?s appearance · Rapid communication using the product realistic images across
the extended enterprise

Key Capabilities
Ultra fast modeling CATIA - Concept Product Creation breaks the traditional approach of concept surface modeling by introducing a new comprehensive approach methodology. It enables to easily transform ideas into exact 3D geometry models in a few minutes, starting from scratch or 2D hand sketches. Based on the power of the unique subdivision technology, this groundbreaking approach stimulates innovation by accelerating the engineering of the product?s emotional content. Used for the first time in a design system, the subdivision technology offers an unrivaled freedom to define, and control intuitively a shape, for impressive instant design modifications at any time during the designer work.
The created surfaces are exacts, could be opened or closed, support sharp edges and the connections between surfaces are G2. Moreover, this technology enables the creation of surfaces compliant with any CATIA V5 applications.
To support the subdivision surfaces technology, CATIA - Concept Product Creation introduces a powerful curve modeler based on an aesthetical approach. This new modeler provides users with a natural and intuitive way of drawing and controlling a complex curve. These curves can be created, a posteriori, in the model. The subdivision surfaces can be then controlled by curves for global deformation. The internal connections between curves are G3
CATIA design environment Taking full advantage from of the CATIA V5 platform, CATIA Concept Product Creation embeds powerful surface checkers in order to help delivering high-end surface quality. It provides also a comprehensive set of powerful features such as sweep, fillet, extrude? to facilitate the creation and combination of complex styled shapes. It is the unique solution in the market allowing designers to leverage the manufacturability of their concept models. The full associativity between the styling and the other CATIA V5 design applications means that any modification is quickly propagated across the global team. So replace, or modify, doesn't mean any more tasks
Style validation To accelerate the validation of the concept design, the user can

rapidly produce and share the product appearance through powerful realistic images and animations. CATIA - Concept Product Creation rendering capabilities are based on state-of-the-art ray-tracing technologies that surpasses graphic card capabilities: · by providing real shadow computation and reflection effects · by enabling anti-aliased images · by computing images bigger than the full screen resolution
CATIA - Concept Product Creation is based on mental image®'s last generation rendering software component, mental ray®. Mental ray® is widely acknowledged to be the industry leading rendering core system in the Digital Content Creation and PLM markets
