CATIA V5 has been chosen by many divisions of Ford for its ability, in all aspects ranging from world leading surfacing technology to the fact that everything is collaborative and all workbenches are unified. Design time is minimized by CATIA V5′s parametric modeling methodology and hence design changes now take a matter of minutes where in the past could have taken days. Ford has incorporated design rules to capture the company’s intellectual property within their CATIA V5 models and not with the personnel.
