Manufacturing Engineering, Oct 2006

CAD/CAM supplier Dassault Systemes (Paris) and IBM Corp. (Armonk, NY) announced that Ford Motor Co. (Dearborn, MI) has extended its multiyear contract designating CATIA V5 as the global design and engineering standard for all new vehicle and powertrain systems development. A component of the CATIA V5 solution at Ford is the Engineering Hub, which provides a native V5 environment for access and management of CATIA V5 within Ford's C3P NG platform.

Used by Ford since 2003, CATIA V5 was first implemented on the Body-in-White development of the new Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr vehicles. It is helping Ford reduce overall digital development time, according to Dassault, and Ford's use of CATIA V5 has expanded into other vehicle programs and functional domains, including chassis, electrical, and interior.
