The Challenge

• How to load and configure CATIA – Multiple Versions – Multiple Customers

• Techniques

• Variations for other locations

Components of a CATIA installation

License Catia

Software

CAD Models

Settings

License Server

• License server at each site

– Enable Sharing (users and modules)

– Less work when a workstation fails

– Very little sharing across sites (Contract issues for Global locations)

Catia Software

• Load on each workstation

– Performance

– Most workstations use a single version (release and service pack)

– Batch tools make it easy

CAD Model Storage

• Shared Network Drive

– Corporate Backup

– Easy to find back

– Enable sharing

Settings - Environment

• On Shared Network Drive – Set it up once

– One for each Customer / Workstation type

Catia Install

• Software Repository – Copy of the CDs on a Network Drive – Downloads rather than CDs

• Batch Install Scripts – Quick – Consistent – Mostly un-attended Help -> Infrastructure -> Installation and Deployment Guide

CATIA Install

• First Batch File – Load “GA” software – Help -> Infrastructure -> Installation and Deployment Guide – It’s not a complete install – loads faster
