DS CATIA COMPOSER R2022 REFRESH3
A Dassault Systemes product designed to create interactive guides, presentations and technical illustrations based on a 3D model of a product. With support for a wide range of file formats, CATIA Composer allows you to work with the entire product, even if it was created in different CAD systems. Work results can be saved in the native CATIA Composer format along with an automatically added free viewer, or exported to common standard data formats such as PDF, HTML, AVI and SVG.
CATIA Composer is a convenient and functional multimedia content development system that automates the process of creating assembly / disassembly instructions, technical illustrations, interactive 3D animations, marketing materials, product catalogs, training materials, web pages and much more.
Convenience
Convenient, simple and intuitive user interface, as well as open XML-architecture of the CATIA Composer solution allow a wide range of users, without special skills in the development of technical documentation, to create associative 2D and 3D materials based on design CAD-models of designed products …
Benefits
CATIA Composer can be successfully used in sales, marketing, maintenance and repair (MRO), training, design and production departments, as well as to control and manage the implementation of complex projects by the company’s management.
Effective use of product information
CATIA Composer provides technical illustrations, videos and interactive 3D materials that not only improve the perception of information through greater visibility, but also significantly improve the quality of the generated documentation. The use of interactive graphic elements can significantly reduce the amount of text notes, which reduces the time and cost of translating text documentation when it is released in several languages.
Compatibility
CATIA Composer allows you to import data from most modern CAD and PLM systems directly in their own formats or in the generally accepted neutral 3DXML / IGES / STEP formats. Imported objects are grouped in an assembly from which a Bill of Materials (BOM) can be generated. The developed interactive documents can be saved as compact executable EXE files (for example, if the original CAD model is 50 MB, the * .exe file of CATIA Composer – the result of converting this model to the CATIA Composer format will have a volume of only 2.5 MB). These EXE files already contain a built-in free CATIA Player, so that they can be opened on absolutely any computer without using any pre-installed specialized software (such like CAD systems or CATIA Composer itself). CATIA Composer projects can also be saved in various standard data formats such as: PDF, HTML, SVG, CGM, 3DXML, AVI, Microsoft Office and others, which allows you to use graphic, multimedia, interactive CATIA Composer objects within traditional text documents for various purposes … Thus, CATIA Composer significantly increases the efficiency of the document creation process, eliminating the need for the services of expensive specialists (photographers, illustrators). The considered software product reduces the cost of documentation, and, consequently, the product as a whole, while improving the quality of presentation and perception of the material. 3DXML, AVI, Microsoft Office and others, which allows the use of graphic, multimedia, interactive objects CATIA Composer within the framework of traditional text documents for various purposes.

Application
The use of CATIA Composer allows you to reduce the time spent on reworking and updating documentation when making changes to the product design. The update is performed automatically due to the associative link with the design CAD-model. The cost and time of development of documentation are also reduced due to more efficient use of information about the designed product. The development of documentation in CATIA Composer can be started already in the early stages of design, when the design model has not yet been fully formed, and at subsequent stages, as the design process is completed, you can easily update the graphic and multimedia content in the prepared document template.
Documents
Interactive documents created in CATIA Composer can be protected from unauthorized distribution and use by assigning access rights to viewing, copying and printing functions, as well as full / partial display / hiding of individual elements or a controlled reduction in the quality / accuracy of the displayed 3D model, when geometric product parameters are intellectual property.
Composition of the CATIA Composer solution
CATIA Composer is a basic module that provides the development of interactive technical documentation based on design CAD-models of products. CATIA Composer was created specifically for developers of technical documentation and does not require special skills and knowledge in the application of CAD / CAM / CAE systems. A clear and intuitive user interface provides convenience and high performance in working with graphic and text objects, their properties, and presentation. All of these parameters can be saved in a style library for reuse in new projects. Interactive animations (assembly / disassembly processes, MRO, product model demonstration in various angles, annotations and explanatory graphic elements), high-quality vector images (SVG, CGM) and technical illustrations (callouts, views,
CATIA Player is a free utility for viewing CATIA Composer projects. This utility is embedded in CATIA Composer’s online manuals (EXE files), allowing you to view these documents on any computer without specialized software. CATIA Player provides operation of OLE objects embedded in standard Microsoft Office documents, PDM systems (for example ENOVIA SmarTeam) and web pages.
CATIA Safe – this module is designed to manage access rights to online documentation created using CATIA Composer (viewing, printing, displaying elements, model quality / accuracy, etc.) and provides reliable protection of the company’s intellectual property.
CATIA Sync and CATIA Sync Integration – These modules provide synchronization and automatic updating of geometry, metadata and BOMs when the original CAD models of products are changed.
CATIA Path Planning and CATIA Check – these modules provide automated creation of assembly / disassembly sequences of assemblies and mechanisms with collision control
