DS Catia V5-6R2017 SP2 HF006

Update

DS have finally released CATIA V5-6R2017 (which most of you may prefer to call it V5R27), and yes, it’s compatible with Windows 10. The “-6” represents its compatibility with ENOVIA 3DEXPERIENCE R2017x.

While many of our customers are choosing to upgrade to the latest 3DEXPERIENCE R2017x, and new customers are selecting us as their partner of choice for their upgrade to 3DEXPERIENCE as a result of our technical lead in the discipline, some customers are still choosing to stay with CATIA V5. This isn't a problem, as DS are showing continuing investment in CATIA V5 with their dedication being shown with their latest release, CATIA V5-6R2017.

CATIA started as an in-house development tool for a French aircraft manufacturer back in 1977, after which its capabilities were extended for use in other industries. CATIA V1 was released in 1981, the same year Dassault Systèmes was incorporated. Versions 2 through 5 followed a routine release every 3-5 years. In 2001, after the first V5 release, Dassault switched over to a version-history system, which lead to a smaller annual releases. This is when the naming first began getting complicated. The naming system now follows an alphanumeric pattern: V for “version”, number of the baseline platform, an R for “release”, and the year of release.

The newest version, CATIA V6, came out in 2008 and has followed the same yearly version-history release pattern (and incremental improvements) as V5. However, it has been almost 10 years since V6 was released and engineers and designers everywhere are eagerly anticipating the presumed radical advancements that will be included in CATIA V7. Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to have to continue waiting, as there is no indication of an upcoming release date for CATIA V7.

Even though there is no CATIA V7, the latest CATIA V5-6R2017 (also known as CATIA V5-6) was released in March. But wait, why would the numbering go backwards for the latest release? We understand this naming pattern is confusing. Dassault explains that that “-6” in the name of this release was added to indicate compatibility between both the 5 and 6 platform versions. This latest release adds new features to the existing V6 portfolio, improves compatibility between versions, and enhances the 3DEXPERIENCE environment.
