CATIA (Conception Assistée Tridimensionnelle Interactive Appliquée) est un logiciel de conception assistée par ordinateur (CAO) créé au départ par la société Dassault Aviation pour ses propres besoins sous le nom de CATI (acronyme de conception assistée tridimensionelle interactive). La compagnie Dassault Systèmes fut créée en 1981 pour en assurer le développement et la maintenance sous le nom de CATIA, IBM en assurant la commercialisation.
Pour le public anglophone, le sigle a reçu dans les manuels l'interprétation Computer-Aided Threedimensional Interactive Application.
History
CATIA started as an in-house development by French aircraft manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault, at that time customer of the CADAM CAD software.[1][2]
The software name was initially CATI (Conception Assistée Tridimensionnelle Interactive - French for Interactive Aided Three Dimensional Design ), but was renamed to CATIA in 1981. At that time Dassault created a subsidiary responsible for the software development and marketing, and finalized a non exclusive distribution agreement with IBM.[3]
In 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, making it the largest customer.
In 1988, with version 3, CATIA was ported from the mainframe to the UNIX platform.
In 1990, General Dynamics/Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool, to design the United States Navy Virginia Class nuclear submarine.
In 1992 CADAM was purchased from IBM and the next year CATIA CADAM v4 was published. Subsequently in 1996 CATIA V4 was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX.
In 1998, an entirely rewritten version of CATIA, CATIA V5 was released, with support for both UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP since 2001.
