![]() ![]() Having worked on a number of typical and complex projects, the value that I see in a Catia-based workflow is immense! Gehry and his partners saw this potential early on, and as the building industry becomes ever more complex, I am certain that there will be much more use of Catia in AEC. ![]() There are many more, advantages, but as a long-time Revit user (I've been using it since 2008), these three aspects completely break my rigid Revit boxed-in world. ![]() The third big advantage is that although there are tools for placing the correct IFC tags (like walls, facades, furniture, etc), any element could be tagged as anything. Another advantage is the part-to-assmebly logic, where almost any element could become a "part" and be used in another "assembly", whether a desk, window, floor, or building. One of the value added elements that Catia offers over Revit as a full parametric tree - everything can be related and the relationships are easy to understand in a tree format. Dassault likes to say that Catia can help you design a car from conception to production, and the factory for the cars as well. It started as an aeronautics and has expanded to manufacturing, automotive, industrial and product design industries (an many others). In case you are unfamiliar, Catia is a sketch-based parametric solid modeling program, capable of producing Class A surfaces. ![]() I attended a Catia for AEC event in London, organised by the excellent local Dassault reps from DTE and folks at Dassault Systemes Architecture, I have become convinced that a Catia-like workflow is the future of architectural design. After having written the previous article about where the industry is going and wishing to gain more knowledge about Revit BIM alternatives. ![]()
