CATIA V5R19 provides two new approaches for composite design and manufacturing: grid design and solid. Auto-fillet, wall thickness analysis and label painting support have been introduced for an improved productivity with plastic parts design & manufacture. Large scale management is enabled for projects such as dams in the construction industry, as was introduced small scale support for the Micro-Electro-Mechanical systems industry in V5R18.

These smart capabilities can be even further improved within many specialized domains:

- Composite design is offered with Simulayt

- Core & cavity design are proposed by Geometric Software

- Parts & component catalogs are offered by Traceparts

- Tolerance analysis is provided by 3DCS
