But wait, why would the numbering go backwards for the latest release? We understand this naming pattern is confusing. Unfortunately, there is no CATIA V7 yet, but the newly released CATIA V5-6 includes some amazing advances.Įven though there is no CATIA V7, the latest CATIA V5-6R2017 (also known as CATIA V5-6) was released in March. Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to have to continue waiting, as there is no indication of an upcoming release date for CATIA V7. However, it has been almost 10 years since V6 was released and engineers and designers everywhere are eagerly anticipating the presumed radical advancements that will be included in CATIA V7. The newest version, CATIA V6, came out in 2008 and has followed the same yearly version-history release pattern (and incremental improvements) as V5. The naming system now follows an alphanumeric pattern: V for “version”, number of the baseline platform, an R for “release”, and the year of release. This is when the naming first began getting complicated. In 2001, after the first V5 release, Dassault switched over to a version-history system, which lead to a smaller annual releases. Versions 2 through 5 followed a routine release every 3-5 years. CATIA V1 was released in 1981, the same year Dassault Systèmes was incorporated. Since it was first developed it has had a fairly consistent release schedule… HistoryĬATIA started as an in-house development tool for a French aircraft manufacturer back in 1977, after which its capabilities were extended for use in other industries. CATIA is a robust multi-platform software suite that includes CAD, CAE, PLM, and 3D design tools. We don’t yet know when it will be released, but here’s what we do know.
