Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for Generative Shape Design

Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for Generative Shape Design

When working with ENOVIA V5, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA Therefore, in interoperability mode, some CATIA V5 commands are grayed out / hidden in the Generative Shape Design workbench

ENOVIA V5 offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept)

In Generative Shape Design workbench, when saving data into ENOVIA V5, the global

transaction is guaranteed but only if the target is in Workpackage mode All Generative Shape Design commands are thus available at all times in this mode

To ensure seamless integration, you must have both a CATIA and ENOVIA session running
