Version 5 Release 1 can be used as a stand-alone product or alongside Ver- sion 4. Customers implementing

CATIA for the first time, or existing cus- tomers expanding their installation, may choose a phased implementation.

IBM and Dassault Systems are also introducing a range of pre-packaged ser- vice offerings to help customers maxi- mize the advantages of CATIA Versions 4 and 5.

Version 5 Release 1 delivers next-gen- eration object technologies and architec- ture. It is built using leading-edge stan- dards such as STEP, Java, CORBA and

OLE. The combination of scaleable architecture and ease-of-use is designed to make Version 5 Release 1 unique in its ability to deliver scaleable applica- tions in the areas of function, process coverage and modeling technology.

In manufacturing, Version 4 Release 2.1 delivers different high-speed milling strategies in both interactive NC defini- tion and semi-automatic approaches.

This is designed to increase the quality of surface finish and reduces bench time for manufactured parts.

In digital plant creation and simula- tion, CATIA Version 4 Release 2.1 delivers a new product dedicated to con- veyor design. Complementing the other products from the CATIA-CADAM

Plant and Ship Solutions, CATIA AEC

Conveyor Design addresses the full con- veyor design process from preliminary design, including automatic bill of mate- rial and precise cost estimation, to 'cat- alog-driven' detail design.

Automation Advance Sparks

Ignition Touchpad

Designed specifically for the marine environment and mounted directly on the vessel's panel, Cole Hersee has developed a multi-functional touchpad switch and keyless ignition.

A leader in the manufacturing of elec- trical and electronic switches, Boston- based Cole Hersee's flat pad offers vari- ous levels of remote functions, as well as elimination of the manually-started ignition. With capability of adapting to any user, the Flat Pad is activated via a security-protected PIN number. Elec- tronically coded signals are then fused through a slim wire, turning on the likes of the vessel's engines, motors, lights and navigation. Distribution of harness weight throughout the ship is also reduced since the pad's control circuit is a single wire pair, fusing together all the electrical functions. The Flat Pad can be customized to any size, shape, color and choice of electrical equipment opera- tion, including pilot lights.
