CATIA CAA and Knowledgeware Customization
Embed CATIA design rules, knowledge engineering, and enterprise workflows into reusable tools for aerospace, automotive, and complex equipment development.
CATIA extensions for high-end engineering knowledge capture
CATIA customization is more than plugin work. It puts product knowledge, checks, and engineering constraints directly into the design environment through CAA, Automation, or Knowledgeware/EKL.
Dassault CATIA Capabilities
Capabilities organized around real engineering workflows, with practical and maintainable delivery as the priority.
CAA deep development
Build stable, maintainable CATIA extensions targeted at large enterprise applications.
Knowledge engineering
Use Knowledgeware and EKL to capture parameters, rules, checks, and generative logic.
Automation and integration
Use Automation and VBA to quickly address batch processing and workflow handoffs.
Use Cases and Delivery Path
From focused plugins to system-level workflow tools, choose development depth by project value.
Aerospace structural design
Suited to design contexts with strict standards, high complexity, and a need to encode knowledge rules.
Automotive body and complex surfaces
Move checks, templates, and quality gates upstream into the design process.
Enterprise knowledge engineering
Convert expert experience into executable rules, parameter templates, and automated checks.
Delivery Process
Select the technical approach
Choose between CAA, EKL, or Automation based on CATIA version, licensing, and business complexity.
Codify the rule model
Design parameters, checks, templates, exceptions, and data interfaces into a clear structure.
Validate engineering usability
Verify performance, stability, and user experience with real, complex models.
