Equipment and Systems Engineering Solutions

Electrical 3D Design and Documentation 1 (5693-EC1)

Electrical 3D Design and Documentation 1 provides themachinery and consumer goods industries with adedicated toolset for designing and documentingelectrical systems. Based on functional specificationsimported from schematic systems, the user can easilydefine the electrical system in the 3D digital mockup.From the mockup, the user can easily generate harnessmanufacturing documentation. This new end-to-endproduct enables the user to reduce the time and cost ofcreating electrical systems in the digital mockup, to avoidinterferences, and to create up-to-date manufacturingdocumentation. Integration with schematic data ensuresthat the physical 3D design is compliant with the electricalspecifications and allows the automatic computation ofwire length to start manufacturing without a physicalmockup and to generate correct harness diameters basedon the wire content of the bundle.

EC1 takes full advantage of integration within themechanical assembly, improving productivity by allowingusers to automatically update electrical wiring data.Accurate definition of the 3D electrical systems

guarantees that all installation constraints (such asclashes) are solved in the digital mockup, providing amajor productivity gain because there is no need for aphysical mockup.

All design changes made to the 3D harness areautomatically propagated in the documentation, savingtime when updating the documentation. Because it is fullyintegrated with CATIA V5′s 2D drafting capabilities, EC1allows users to generate a dedicated representation ofelectrical components in 2D.

The provided function level of integration betweenelectrical 3D design and documentation make EC1 theideal solution for the specific electrical designrequirements of the consumer goods and fabrication andassembly industries.

Key product functions include:

• Link with wiring schematics for design anddocumentation: Data can be exchanged with electricalwiring CAD systems using the XML data format. In thisway, customers can use electrical schematic diagramsthat are specific to their industry and location, ratherthan using generic electrical diagrams fromcompetitors that are not adapted to customer needs,such as a library of symbols.

• Reduce cycle time and increase quality for wireharness packaging and documentation: An optimalmanagement of design changes (components andwires) allows users to reduce cycle time and improvequality during the entire product and packagingdocumentation process. Engineering changes fromschematic data can be imported into the 3D designand then automatically transferred to thedocumentation.

• Deliver an integrated, end-to-end 3D wire harnesspackaging and documentation solution in a singleworkbench: With the workbench, users can defineelectrical component catalogs, create interfaces towiring schematics, create 3D harness routings,automatically compute wire lengths, and creategenerative and associative documentation.

• Provide a process-oriented solution for fabrication andassembly and consumer goods customers: Byallowing virtual definition and documentation ofelectrical systems, EC1 allows customers to reduce lifecycle management time and design and productioncosts. Users also benefit from CATIA V5′s ease oflearning and ease of use.

• Integration with Interactive Drafting 1 (ID1) andGenerative Drafting 1 (GD1) for documentationpurposes: Users can easily generate a dedicatedrepresentation of electrical components in 2D to takeadvantage of the complete integration of draftingcapabilities. Users can define and manage relevantwire annotations and dimensions to create full reportsfor documentation.

Enhanced products: Enhancements to a P1 product alsoapply to the corresponding P2 product.

Mechanical Design Solutions

CATIA — Assembly Design 1 (5693-AS1)

• General functions

− Move and fix together — This command allows theuser to move all parts that are fixed together withthe standard move commands. The system

204-036 -2-

determines the list of the parts that should bemoved.

− Open an assembly in visualization mode — Anoption is provided to notify the user if the productupdate status is not available. The option gives theuser the ability to specify whether or not adiagnostic of the update should be done. The usercan then easily determine if the assembly needs tobe updated without launching the entire update.

− New scenes integration — The user can create analternative view of a product (the state of a productwith specific positioning and graphical attributes) inwhich it is possible to create and edit applicativedata. The user can then perform an analysisrelative to a specific state of assembly. Thisenhancement improves performance and capacity.

• V5 Engineering Hub productivity — This releasedelivers optimal CATIA PLM usability for unmatchedcollaborative product development. The mainobjective is to enhance the CATIA product userinterface in the context of ENOVIA V5 VPM byproviding convenient interactive notification.Commands, such as those for assembly features, aredeactivated when working with a product in theexploded mode. Conditional behaviors are insertedas constraints for links inside a work package and forfix together operations.

• Copy-paste can be used to switch assemblies fromwork package mode to exploded mode.

• Reroute link on last document — A new Synchronizechoice in the Edit link command helps the user torevise a part. The user can select a reference in acatalog, and all the links will automatically be reroutedbased on the chosen reference. This process-orientedenhancement improves user productivity andaccelerates versioning. This is a VPM Navigatorco-requisite.

• Supplier relationship management (SRM) — A newcommand synthesizes an assembly as a single part.It provides an interactive command to create oneCATPart document from a specific product structurenode selected in an opened CATProduct. Thecommand captures all geometrical representationdetected in all activated nodes that are children of theselected node. Each geometrical representation foundis created in the CATPart as an isolated body. Thisnew command facilitates Supply Chain Management(SRM) and protects intellectual property whenexchanging data between companies. Companies canalso reduce their telecommunication costs becauseless bandwidth is required.

CATIA — Weld Design 1 (5691-WD1, 5693-WD1)

• V5 Engineering Hub productivity — This releasedelivers optimal CATIA PLM usability for unmatchedcollaborative product development. The mainobjective is to enhance the CATIA product userinterface in the context of ENOVIA V5 VPM byproviding convenient interactive notification.

• Weld design functions

− Generic weld without preparation — This newfunction extends currently supported scenarios byallowing the user to create welds withoutpreparation. Based on the external geometry,modifications of this type of weld depend on thegeometry of the part. The weld without preparationcreation process is guided by selection.

− Welding the part with itself — Two principalscenarios are supported:

-- Welding a closed part-- Welding two bodies of the same part

− New option (integration with bills of materials) — Apart resulting from a user weld is now removedfrom the bill of materials by default.

CATIA — Part Design 1 (5693-PD1)

• Ergonomy

− Contextual menu in sketch-based features — Joinand extrapolate commands are now available fromthe profile selector for the following featurecommands:

-- Pad-- Pocket-- Shaft Groove-- Rib-- Slot-- Stiffener — Integrate Go-to Profile in Stack

This enhancement improves ergonomy by makingit easier to access the creation commands availablein CATIA — Generative Shape Design anddemonstrates continuous improvement in CATIAV5 application synergy.

− Improved user interface for Close Surface andThick Surface — The panels for these features nowappear in action-object order. The panels opendirectly, even if no selection has been previouslyperformed. The enhancement also redefines thenumber of arrows to be displayed when the inputsto be thickened are made of a large number ofsub-elements. This improves selectionperformance and decreases data size.

• Sketcher

− Corner and chamfer construction elements — Thisrelease provides a new corner and chamfer option.For construction line breaks, the corner is createdand the two support lines are broken into twoseparate parts: one in construction mode and onein standard mode. The system keeps theconstruction elements displayed to the user. Thisenhancement fosters design reuse and improvesuser productivity for modification operations byreducing system interactions.

− Direct constraint editing — Drag-and-drop ongeometry can be used to edit constraint values.This capability allows users to quickly modifyexisting sketcher geometries, even if thegeometries are constrained. By holding the Shiftkey and dragging with the mouse, the dimensionalconstraints that refer to the selected geometry areset to reference (driven) mode so that the geometrycan be moved freely with respect to thegeometrical constraints. This capability isparticularly useful when the user needs to modifyan iso-constrained sketch quickly or to repair anover-constrained or inconsistent sketch.

• Keep the bottom shape (V or flat) for Hole up toSurface — The user can now save the V bottom or flatbottom shape of a hole, even if the “up to” behavioris used and even if an offset from the target surface isspecified. The resulting geometry is fully compliantwith mechanical specifications and with associativebehavior. Because it is process-oriented, thisenhancement extends mechanical capabilities and the

-3- 204-036

design-to-manufacturing process, especially forfabrication and assembly and machined parts.

CATIA — Part Design Feature Recognition 1 (5691-FR1,5691-FR1)

• Automatic feature recognition

− Automatic hole recognition — The product nowrecognizes all the holes in an isolated solid withoutthe user having to pick a face. With an isolatedsolid set as the in-work object, the user launchesautomatic hole recognition. The faces of allrecognized holes are removed from the isolatedsolid, and a corresponding number of hole featuresis created in the specification tree.

− Automatic fillet recognition — The product nowrecognizes all the fillets in an isolated solid withoutthe user having to pick a face. With an isolatedsolid set as the in-work object, the user launchesautomatic fillet recognition. The faces of allrecognized fillets are removed from the isolatedsolid, and a corresponding number of fillet featuresis created in the specification tree.

− Automatic chamfer recognition — The product nowrecognizes all the chamfers in an isolated solidwithout the user having to pick a face. With anisolated solid set as the in-work object, the userlaunches automatic chamfer recognition. The facesof all recognized chamfers are removed from theisolated solid, and a corresponding number ofchamfer features is created in the specificationtree.

Automated recognition significantly improves userproductivity for feature recognition operations.

− Progress bar — When the user launches automaticfillet recognition on a part with a hundred fillets, theprogress bar allows the user to see the progressat any given point in time, see the estimated timeremaining, or to cancel the operation if it is takingtoo long. This capability significantly enhances theusability of the product.

• Stability and performance — This release provideserror diagnoses and default behaviors. Thisbreakthrough allows the user to manage unknownfeatures to efficiently continue the recognition process.

CATIA — Wireframe & Surface 1 (5691-WS1, 5693-WS1)

• Associativity

− Ordered geometrical set — Ordered geometric setsallow the user to structure a design based ongeometric feature ordering. User benefits include:

-- Unknown parts can be scanned to determinetheir structure.

-- Color inheritance and simplified “no-show”space content make it easier to modify complexparts.

-- The specifications list can be used to make iteasier to manage history.

− Local axis associativity for directions — Thisenhancement allows the user to retrievecontextually the three current local axes thatappear as features everywhere in GenerativeShape Design for which a direction is needed.

− Multi-output deactivation — This new option allowsthe user to deactivate a multi-output.

− Keep/No keep option — This new option provides amodification mode for all Generative Shape Designcommands. It allows the user to keep or removethe original element after it has been modifiedduring the design modeling process.

• Ergonomy — A 3D parameters access capability allowsthe user to view dimensions in the 3D viewer whencreating or editing bump, helix, and spiral features.

• Wireframes

styling and engineering context. For instance, a user cancreate an associative shape, place welding points on it,and then assemble the two parts with unprecedentedrapidity. The manufacturability of the created body istaken into account, as well as the management ofpotential styling changes. ABT takes advantage of itstotal integration with the mechanical shape designproducts, the freestyle products, and the unique Body inWhite Fastening product (ABF).

This product is included in the CATIA — Automotive Bodyin White Design Configuration (5691-AB3).

CATIA — Body in White Templates 2:

• Delivers a dedicated body-in-white design productbased on highly productive, skilled features: ABTcloses a major productivity gap in the body-in-whitecommunity through the use of unique skilled features.This productivity comes from the fact that body inwhite engineers will find in ABT unique features thatthey will use many times per day. Some examples:

− Diabolo seat — Create support seats for certainfunctional parts.

− Junction — Join several surface sections (whetherisotopological or non-isotopological) with tangencymanagement. The ability to join surfaces in thisway is a major productivity innovation.

− Mating flange — Add a shape to a thin part.Typically, this shape is used as a contact zone withanother part within an assembly. The added shapecan be used to create welding points for assemblingthe two parts.

− Hole — Create a hole shape in a very productiveand user-friendly way. The hole feature is used toremove material from a body. Additionally,semantic recognition of holes means they can beused for tolerancing purposes with FunctionalTolerancing & Annotation 2 (FTA).

• Strengthens the CATIA PLM end-to-end design formanufacturing body-in-white process coverage: Whenused in conjunction with CATIA — Automotive Body inWhite Fastening 3 (ABF), ABT allows users to quicklydesign specific automotive structural parts whiletaking the manufacturability of these parts intoaccount. For instance, the mating flange feature inABT can be used to create a fixing zone where weldingpoints will be positioned using ABF. In addition, thebody-in-white community works in close cooperationwith stylists, especially at the early stages of theproduct creation process. For such users, theassociativity of ABT with the CATIA freestyle productsdelivers considerable added value when a stylingchange must be implemented during the conceptphase. This is another example of the CATIA V5 shapedesign and styling tolerant modelling concept in action.

• Embeds CATIA V5 knowledgeware capabilities: CATIAV5 knowledgeware turns implicit design methods intoexplicit knowledge and allows users to capture andreuse corporate know-how throughout the product lifecycle. CATIA — Automotive Body in White Templates2 benefits from the same knowledgeware capabilities,such as laws, rules, and optimization features, as itsprerequisite, CATIA — Generative Shape Design(GSD). Body-in-white engineers can therefore takeadvantage of the ease and the quickness of thesepowerful tools for design change management.

Enhanced products


CATIA — Composites Design (CPD)

• Data management — Pure engineering CATParts cannow be split from manufacturing preparation CATParts.Instead of generating the manufacturing plygeometries in the same CATPart as the engineeringCATPart, the manufacturing definition is nowgenerated in a separate CATPart. The generatedCATPart keeps the link to the engineering CATPart.This enhancement facilitates concurrent engineeringmanagement by allowing a user to work on theengineering design of a part while another designerworks on the manufacturing design of the same part,which is often the case in SRM. It is also promotesbetter product data management.

• Detailed design

− Limit contour feature — The limit contour feature isextended to address more design configurations.It provides a limit contour feature to modify plies(for example, to modify the manufacturing pliesafter the swapping and material excess operation).This enhancement improves productivity bycompleting the automatic ply generation with amanual feature to obtain the precise geometrydesired. It allows the user to obtain precise desiredshape of the ply associatively and thereforeimproves productivity when doing modifications.

− Ply highlight with shading — When the user selectsa ply in the specification tree, either the ply contouror the ply area will be highlighted. This userinterface improvement makes it easier tounderstand a composite part structure.

− Enable ply geometries to be visible in CATDrawings— When a CATDrawing is generated from a partcontaining composites entities, the ply contours arerepresented (even with the Project 3D Wireframestool option checked).

− Ply browser — The aim is to generate an offsetsurface at a theoretical altitude for each ply.

-- Foster communication about composites partswithout the need for drawings.

-- Generate more detailed and precise information(schematic sections).

− Export numerical analysis commands in externalfiles — This capability allows the user to obtain thephysical information about a ply (weight, size,center of gravity, etc.) in a text/tab file. It makes iteasy to compare ply characteristics.

• Manufacturing design

− “Producibility” and flattening improvements

-- Producibility analysis parameters stored asspecifications — The parameters of theproducibility analysis (strategy point, warp andweft) are stored as specifications for the ply.The parameters are then used by the flatteningcommand.

-- Flattening command modification to includeproducibility parameters stored as specifications— Thanks to the producibility parameters, thecommand enables the flattened shapegeneration of several plies using differentparameters.

-- Multiselection for producibility and flattening isnow supported.

-- Rotated/Non-rotated option for flattening — Theflattened shape of a ply can be represented withor without taking into account the fiberorientation.

-- Export IGES/DXF — These are new choices forentities to be exported. Previously, ply contours,strategy points, and rosettes were alwaysexported in IGES/DXF files. Now, the user hasthe choice to export the strategy points and/orrosettes along with ply contours.

• General — The user interface for removing re-limitedshells from plies is enhanced to improve performance.The user can now remove the “split” from all the pliesin a stack, or a group of plies, or a sequence.

For example, the type “engine” iscomposed of six, eight or ten type “track rods,” onetype “shell” and several type “pistons.” Thecomposition is a persistent notion. The first typeknows all its sub-components and can provideusers with a list of them. The goal of composition,and its added value, is to formalize therelationships that exist between differenttechnological types and to automate extensiveprocesses. It allows experts to define a productstructure in a top-down approach (from engine topistons) to create more complex applications.

− List attributes can be attributes of technologicalobjects and variables of behaviors. This definitionallows elements to be added to a list.

− The default value of an attribute on a derived typecan be overloaded. This definition allows defaultvalues to be changed on the derived class.

− Type management for attributes of technologicalobjects and behaviors — This enhancement enablesthe expert to choose a specific type when definingthe attributes of technological objects andbehaviors. It ensures that the objects andbehaviors will be of the correct type and sub-type.

The following requirements are common to all operatingsystems supported by this release. System unit andgraphics adapter requirements are platform-specific andare specified in subsequent topics below.

• Required components and features

− Disk drive: An internal or external disk drive(minimum recommended size is 4 GB) is requiredto store program executables, program data, theuser environment, and to provide paging space.Installation of all CATIA V5 products requires 2.0GB on Windows, 2.4 GB on AIX, 2.7 GB on HP-UX,2.5 GB on IRIX, and 2.3 GB on Solaris.

− Memory: 256 MB of RAM is the minimumrecommended for all applications. 512 MB of RAMis recommended for DMU applications on largeassemblies and for the Digitized Shape Editor 2(DSE) product. Requirements may be greater whenlarge amounts of data are used.

− Internal/external drives: A CD-ROM drive isrequired for program installation and for access tothe online documentation, which can optionally bedownloaded to disk.

− Display: A graphics color display compatible withthe selected platform-specific graphics adapter.The minimum recommended size for usabilityreasons is 17 inches. Minimum resolution forWindows workstations is 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024for UNIX workstations. When selecting a graphicsadapter, hardware texturing capability is stronglyrecommended when using CATIA V5 products thatuse texture mapping, in which case the amount oftexture RAM has to be adequate for the numberand complexity of textures to be used.

− Keyboard: A specific keyboard compatible with theselected installation locale may be required fornational language support.

− Pointing device: Three-button mouse. On Windowsworkstations, a two-button mouse may alternativelybe used (the third button is emulated with akeyboard sequence). The three-button mouse isrecommended for usability reasons. IntelliMouse(two buttons plus a wheel instead of the thirdbutton) is an alternative to the three-button mouseon Windows workstations. The wheel acts as themiddle button to allow additional manipulations,such as panning and scrolling.

• Optional components and features: For CATIA P2 andP3, SpaceBall or SpaceMouse, in addition to thestandard mouse, can be used to perform graphicmanipulations (zoom, pan, rotate). The requireddrivers are delivered with these devices. Support ofthese devices is also available with the DMUNavigator 1 and DMU Space Analysis 1 P1 products.

CATIA V5 system program order

CATIA V5 programs for all platforms (UNIX and MicrosoftWindows) are shipped under the 5628-ACN SystemProgram Order (SPO). The SPO is required for allprogram shipments and future updates.

Initial orders placed for a program type 5691 without acorresponding order or MES for the 5628-ACN SPO willeither fail order validation, or will not generate a mediashipment. The SPO is designated to the processor onwhich the program type 5691 is licensed. Each customernumber must have its own SPO.

Initial orders: When ordering the first 5691 configurationfor CATIA V5, an order must also be placed for the5628-ACN SPO. Both the 5691 program order and the SPOmust be for the same CPU system type/system numberand must have the same scheduled shipment date.

Subsequent licenses: The SPO must have a featurenumber for every CATIA V5 configuration that is installedor on-order. Therefore, when a configuration that was notpreviously installed is ordered, the SPO must be updated.

To update an on-order system: When a license for a new5691 program is ordered for an on-order system, the5628-ACN SPO must be updated to reflect the featurenumber of the licensed program desired. Also, for assetregistration and billing purposes an order for theindividual licensed program type 5691 is required.

To update an installed system: When a license for a new5691 program is ordered for an installed system, the5628-ACN SPO must be updated to reflect the featurenumber of the licensed program desired.

5628-ACN program feature numbers for new products:The following no-charge program feature numbers areused with the 5628-ACN System Program Order to showwhich configurations and products are installed. Thisinformation is used for shipment of media. The maximumquantity of each of the features that may be specified isone for each of the 5691 programs.

Terms and conditions

Agreement: IBM Customer Agreement (ICA)

Designated machine: Not required

Variable charges apply: No

Location license applies: No

Use limitation applies: Yes, as implemented by thelicensing mechanism described.

The licensing mechanism

CATIA V5 licensing on workstations: In workstationenvironments, CATIA controls the number of concurrentusers of a CATIA configuration or product, according tothe number of licenses acquired for the configuration orproduct.

CATIA V5 delivers identical licensing mechanisms onUNIX and Windows environments, based on IBM LicenseUse Management (LUM). The following licensingprinciples apply:

• A CATIA V5 configuration (standard or custom) willrequire a license. Licenses for CATIA V5configurations are acquired and released for the totalconfiguration. The products within a configurationcannot be shared.

-39- 204-036

• CATIA V5 shareable products will require a license, inaddition to one for the prerequisite configuration andany prerequisite product, if applicable.

• In all cases, configuration licenses are acquired at thebeginning of the process and are released at itstermination.

• Shareable product licenses may be acquired at thebeginning of the process and released at itstermination, or upon user request, acquired andreleased during the process (ability to acquire andrelease licenses is not available for configurationlicenses). Shareable licenses acquired at thebeginning of the session cannot be released before theend of the session; only licenses dynamically grantedupon user request during the session can be releasedduring the session.

• CATIA V5 add-on (AOP) and shareable products mayrequire prerequisite products that are not included ina standard purchased configuration. When aprerequisite product is not included in the selectedstandard configuration, both the AOP and itsprerequisite products must be purchased and licensedas AOPs within a custom configuration. Prerequisitesfor shareable products can be satisfied by a standardconfiguration, by an AOP within a customconfiguration, or by a shareable product.

CATIA V5 can be used in three licensing modes: nodelock,with concurrent usage of licenses on a network, orconcurrent offline licensing.

Nodelock usage: The use of a local display of thehardware configuration is mandatory for CATIA V5 usagein nodelock mode. There is no limit to the number ofCATIA V5 processes launched for a given license(configuration or product). For instance, a user canlaunch the following simultaneous processes:

• A V5 interactive session• A V5 process executed through an OLE container

application• Replay of macros recorded from captured sequences

of V5 user interactions

In nodelock mode of operation, only one CATIA licenseper configuration and product can be registered bymachine, and only one CATIA user can run at a time. Ifmultiple licenses per configuration or product, or multipleusers, are required, refer to the Concurrent Usagesection.

Concurrent usage: A user on one machine on one displayuses one license per configuration or product used,regardless of the number of processes. If the displaychanges, then an additional license is taken for thecorresponding process.

CATIA add-on and shareable products require a licensefor a configuration which includes at least the prerequisiteproducts.

Licenses for CATIA configurations are acquired andreleased for the total configuration. The functions withina configuration cannot be shared.

Dynamic li censing: Shareable product licenses may beacquired at the beginning of the session and released atits termination or, upon user request, acquired andreleased during the session. (The ability to acquire andrelease licenses is not available for configurationlicenses.) Shareable licenses acquired at the beginningof the session cannot be released before the end of thesession; only licenses dynamically granted upon user

request during the session can be released during thesession.

Concurrent offline licensing: Beginning with this release,a new concurrent license control technique is availablevia the LUM server. It gives CATIA, ENOVIA DMU,DELMIA, and RADE applications running on a Windowslaptop the ability to disconnect from the license server fora specific period of time so that users can take advantageof the full license capability while mobile. During thecheckout period, the license is unavailable for use byanother concurrent user. This feature is designed to addadditional flexibility to a user′s work environment. It isoffered to accommodate short-term travel needs andcollaboration while away from a fixed office environmentor server connection. All ICA terms and conditions,including Cross-Border licensing terms are unchanged,and users will check-out and check-in licenses at theirhome server, where rules and procedures are controlledby LUM.

Note to users of the following SMARTEAM-branded CATIAintegration products:

• CATIA Team PDM Configuration (TDM)• SMARTEAM — CATIA Integration Product (CAI)• CATIA — Xtended Team PDM Configuration (TDX)• CATIA — Xtended Integration Product (CIX)

These and other SMARTEAM products do not supportdynamic licensing or concurrent offline licensing.Therefore, dynamically releasing a CATIA key will notrelease any SMARTEAM integration product key that mayhave been checked out at the same time, and theseintegrations cannot be used with offline-type LUMcertificates.

Educational allowance available: No. CATIA V5 andCATIA WLS V5 products are available under the CATIAHigher Education Academic Training (HEAT) program.

Preventive Service is delivered through the next releaseof CATIA V5. The new release also includes correctionsto problems, depending on the time of their submissionand their severity.

Corrective Service for CATIA V5 and CATIA WLS V5releases is delivered through service packs on a regularbasis. A service pack includes corrections for Severity 1problems in production systems reported on this releaseand all corrections available for all components at thetime it is built. Service packs are provided at the sametime for all platforms currently supported. Each servicepack supersedes the previous one and may be installedon top of the released level or on top of a previousservice pack. No individual corrections will be deliveredbetween two service packs.

Customers may request a correction via a service packfor Severity 1 problems. A Severity 1 problem is definedas:

• A problem that stops production: The customer iscurrently using the level for which a fix is requested ina production environment.

• A problem that prevents migration: The customermust provide the migration plan.

• A problem that halts testing of a given level: A fix willallow customer to continue the testing.

• Installation problem: A problem that prevents thecustomer from installing or using the product.

• Regression: Problems reported as regressions maybe due to an operation that was being performederroneously or created incorrect data with a previousrelease and the current release no longer permitsthese operations. Therefore, each problem reportedas a regression must be evaluated. True regressionswill be handled as Severity 1 problems.

Requests for corrections to a given release of CATIA V5and CATIA WLS V5 may be made up to four months afterthe next release of CATIA V5 and CATIA WLS V5 becomesgenerally available. After that date, no new service packswill be built for that release. For the duration of theservice period of each release, the final service pack canbe ordered on CD-ROM via the Support Centers. (Thisservice period ends four months after the generalavailability of the second subsequent release of CATIAV5 and CATIA WLS V5.)

With the availability of this release, the end of correctiveservice (EOSC) date for CATIA V5.12 and CATIA WLSV5.12 will be four months after the general availabilitydate of this release.

With the availability of this release, the end of service(EoS) date for CATIA V5.11 and CATIA WLS V5.11 will befour months after the general availability date of thisrelease.
