CATIA V5 for Du Toit Yacht Design

Jethro — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:47:02 +0000

CATIA V5 was chosen by Du Toit Yacht Design to produce 3D design work, isometric sketches, 2D patterns, detailed images and CNC programming for their custom designed yachts. Anton du Toit established Du Toit Yacht Design in 2001 and by 2007 he received the Disa South African Design Excellence Award. After experiencing all other current 3D design development systems he realised that “CATIA is the most advanced single system” and has used it as a benchmark when assessing others. In addition, the level of support that he has received from Dassault Systèmes and its South African VAR, CDC, has been very valuable. CATIA allows the company to retain knowledge and understanding of vessel behaviour, aesthetics and seaworthiness which ultimately helps them to develop better, more efficient boats.

AeroSud is using CATIA, Enovia and SmarTeam to help them reach new heights.

“Our investment in Dassault Systemes PLM technology was a major step for us and to a certain extent a leap of faith, but one that has been completely vindicated by subsequent events. When the A400 programme came to South Africa, we were able to join the design and manufacturing supply chain because we were prepared and equipped” MD Aerosud Aviation, Johan Steyn

CATIA’s parametric modelling methodology shorten SERCO’s design cycle time by 70%

Jethro — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:01:18 +0000

SERCO is South Africa’s top manufacturer of reefer trailers. SERCO had previously been using a 2D CAD system which simply could not keep up with advancing production methodologies. SERCO chose CATIA as a 3D solution to replace their 2D CAD system because it “proved to be the most stable software” and could “handle large assemblies” which was a necessary requirement for them. SERCO also plans to use 3DVIA Composer to compile assembly and maintenance documentation for staff training. SERCO uses CATIA together with Excel, thanks to CATIA Knowledgeware, to drive model iterations by numerical dimensions. CATIA has also lead to greater production levels because of its direct machining program capability.
