Description

In parallel to the continuous development of CATIAVersion 5, significant enhancements are delivered forCATIA Version 4. Release 2.4 enhances 13 products andbrings significant improvements or new features tosupport end-to-end processes in aerospace, automotive,plant, and shipbuilding industries.

Improvements in CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 aretargeted at improving productivity in key areas,supporting the major programs for introduction of newmethodologies and throughout the CATIA-installed base.

The enhancements to the Global Shape Modeling (GSM)tools provide capabilities to support the major initiativeswithin many CATIA Version 4 customers to move fromtraditional Surface modeling methodologies towards thespecification-based approach. This delivers productivitygains across the surface engineering process with theability to propagate associatively, namely, the requiredchanges through many iterations in the engineeringprocess from concept definition to production tooling.These enhancements focus on:

• Accuracy of geometry produced

• Improved handling (robustness)

• Ease-of-definition of complex geometric shapes

• Significant enhancements to the already extensivesurface quality analysis tools

To link the benefits of associative specification-drivenmodeling provided with GSM and the Solid Modelingtools, this release enhances the associativity from designthrough to Toolpath creation using the CATIAManufacturing Solutions. It improves the links with theCATIA VPM data management tools. The manufacturingtools themselves are also significantly enhanced toimprove usability and performance. These tools provideadditional capabilities for advanced high-speed machiningdefinition and to support standardization and reuse ofmachining methodologies.

To support further progression, within many existingVersion 4 customers, towards paperless manufacturing,the CATIA 3D Functional Dimensioning and Tolerancingtools are also enhanced to provide improved usability fortolerance definition and management. The functionallyrich coverage of industrial tolerancing scenarios alreadyprovided, is further extended with this release, makingthis capability even more complete and robust.

The success of CATIA in the Plant Design and Shipbuildingarea, and the continued roll out of these capabilities onmany large Shipbuilding projects around the world, hasdriven additional improvements in usability andperformance to support even greater productivity. Theimprovements in Drawing production and Ship HullDesign support the specific requirements of theshipbuilding industry, and provide improved associativityand attribute management as well as significantperformance enhancements.

Optional Software for the UNIX Environment

CATIA can be run with either concurrent or nodelockedlicensing. In the case concurrent licensing is necessary,IBM License Use Management Runtime (LUM),Version 4.5 is required. Refer to the Planning Informationsection for further details.

Software Requirements for the Windows Environment

This topic applies only to the CADAM Drafting productsuite.

The basic operating system requirement is MicrosoftWindows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a applied) orWindows 2000.

• A FORTRAN or C compiler is required to createCADAM IUE programs. Dassault Systems has testedand certified the following compilers:

− Absoft FORTRAN 77 Version 3.0

− Absoft Pro FORTRAN Version 5.0

− Microsoft Visual C++ Version 5.0



Access to HTML Format Documentation: CADAMDrafting Documentation is delivered in HTML format.Access to CADAM Drafting documentation requires theavailability of an HTML-capable browser.

Installability and Maintainability: On workstations, theCATIA products are delivered either in the currently usedmedia or in CD-ROM, including documentation.

Installability of CATIA/CADAM Solutions Version 4 isdesigned so that customers can install the system,customize it, and get started with little manualintervention and minimum skill within two hours.

Preventive service is delivered through new modificationlevels of CATIA. These new levels are cumulative,containing all corrective and preventive service availableto date. Refreshes are also delivered every three monthsfor the current modification level.

Support for Workstation CATIA Version 4 Release 2.2 willend when CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 becomes

201-039 -20-

available. Support for releases before Version 4Release 2.2 has already ended.

The maintenance process remains unchanged for CATIAVersion 4 Release 2.4. PTFs are delivered for severeproblems only. CATIA Version 4 Release 2.3 andsubsequent CATIA releases will be supported for at least18 months after their planned availability date.

The following media are available for maintenance:

• Refresh PTFs:

− AIX: 4-mm, 8-mm, and CD-ROM− HP-UX: 4-mm and CD-ROM− SGI: 4-mm and CD-ROM− Sun: 4-mm and CD-ROM

• Single PTFs: CCSS permits the user to order singlePTFs on CD-ROMs. Single PTFs will be available onthe same media as refresh PTFs. In addition, CATIAAIX Single PTFs (and only the CATIA AIX PTFs) can beobtained from FIXDIST on the Internet. The addressis:

Compatibility: Across all CATIA platforms, the CATIAsystem provides consistent user interfaces, fullycompatible model database and application programminginterfaces, and the same advanced graphics interfaces.CATIA Solutions model data is fully compatible among thesupported operating systems: AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, andSolaris.

Upward compatibility of CATIA model data is assured forall subsequent CATIA releases. Downward compatibilityof CATIA Solutions model data is also assured for entitieswhich were not introduced at the higher version orrelease-level. For example, CATIA Version 3 Release 2can read, but cannot process, guided cutting contactdriven operations introduced in this version.

Because CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 is not available forOS/390 , modifications needed to guaranteeinteroperability between the CATIA OS/390 andworkstation versions will be made available throughcorrective service to CATIA Version 4, Release 1.7,Refresh 5.

The “transparent access” method allows enterpriseserver users to access transparently CATIA models thatcontain specific CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 entities.

Performance Considerations: Performance and responsetime are influenced by several factors, includingprocessor and operating system, amount of systemmemory, channel speeds, the number, type, andorganization of terminals, and the size of the data beingused. CATIA is designed for optimum benefit under allsupported operating systems.

Customer Responsibilities

Concurrent and Nodelocked Licensing

• Running in a Multi-user Environment with LUM: LUMis available to CATIA users whose installations includemultiple IBM, HP, SGI, or Sun workstation machinesinterconnected by a TCP/IP-supported token-ring orEthernet LAN or for concurrent execution of CATIAprograms on a single workstation.

CATIA for UNIX workstations uses LUM to control thenumber of licenses acquired for the program. Each

CATIA license allows users, as identified by their userID, to run simultaneously on a single machine anddisplay up to five CATIA processes. A process invokeslicense checking when it calls a CATIA interactivefunction, a CATIA utility, or a CATGEO entry-pointbelonging to that product. For instance, with onelicense the user can run:

− One interactive CATIA session in an AIX, HP-UX,IRIX, or Solaris window

− Three batch utilities pertaining to the specifiedlicensed program, from an AIX, HP, IRIX, or Solariswindow

− One user batch program based on the CATGEOApplication Program Interface

Using LUM administration facilities, systemadministrators can configure CATIA products forworkstations to permit users to access CATIAprograms on one of the several IBM, HP, SGI, or Sunworkstations.

LUM Runtime, Version 4.5 is required for AIX, HP-UX,IRIX, and Solaris licensed servers and clients. IBMLUM Runtime code, Version 4.5 is delivered with AIXVersion 4 Release 3. This level of LUM can also bedownloaded for free from the IBM Software LUMdownload page at:

http://www.software.ibm.com/is/lum/

LUM Runtime, Version 4.5 is required for AIX 4.3.2 orAIX 4.3.3 and is delivered with the operating system.

• Running in a single-user environment without LUM: Inan installation without LUM, CATIA Solutions forWorkstations licensed programs may be licensed tooperate on a single workstation. In this mode ofoperation, the use of CATIA programs is restricted tothe workstation for which it is registered during theinstallation process, and only one user can run theCATIA licensed product at a time; this user is limitedto five processes running on the machine from thedisplay. In any configuration, stand-alone or LAN,when more than one concurrent use of a CATIAlicensed program is desired on a single workstation,LUM is required.

Direct Customer Support: IBM provides telephonesupport for questions concerning the installation, use, anddefects of CATIA products. Eligible customers may callthe IBM Support Center at 800-237-5511 in the U.S. or800-426-2222 in Canada 24 hours a day.

The maximum number of licenses at ausage level must be ordered before ordering the nextusage level. When licenses are discontinued, the licensesat the higher usage level must be discontinued first. Fordetermining usage levels, ALC and YLC quantities cannotbe combined.

System Program Order (SPO)

5628-ACA SPO for RS/6000, HP, SGI, Sun, orWindows NT: These programs will be shipped under the5628-ACA SPO. The SPO is required for all programshipments and future updates.

201-039 -22-

Initial orders placed for a program type 5626 without acorresponding order or MES for the SPO (5628-ACA) willeither fail order validation, or will not generate ashipment of software or publications. The SPO isdesignated to the processor on which the program type5626 is licensed. Each customer number and physicalmachine-readable copy of the program must have its ownSPO.

Initial Orders: When ordering the first 5626-XXX programfor a customer who does not already have CATIASolutions Version 4 installed, an order must also beplaced for the SPO, 5628-ACA. Both the 5626-XXXprogram order and the SPO must be for the same CPUsystem type/system number, and have the samescheduled shipment date.

Subsequent Licenses: The SPO must have a featurenumber for every CATIA Solutions program that isinstalled or on-order. Therefore, when a program thatwas not previously installed is ordered, the SPO must beupdated.

To Update an On-order System: When a license for a new5626 program is ordered for an on-order system, the5628-ACA must be updated to reflect the feature numberof the licensed program desired. Also, for assetregistration and billing purposes an order for theindividual licensed program type 5626 is required.

To Update an Installed System: When a license for a new5626 program is ordered for an installed system, the5628-ACA must be updated to reflect the feature numberof the licensed program desired.

For information on the shipment of publications as aresult of orders or updates to orders, refer to theUnlicensed Documentation section of this announcement.
