1. How to buy CATIA
In Russia, CATIA can be purchased through a network of official resellers. The cost depends on the set of functions included in the license. Leave a request on our website, the consultant will call you back. Briefly describe your project, and we will select several license options suitable for solving your problems within your budget.

2. What is module and configuration
CATIA licenses are issued for modules and configurations.

The module is roughly the same as the Workbench in CATIA. Each module and configuration has a three-letter designation. Let’s say the Part Design module is designated as PDG. Some modules do not have their own workbench, but only a toolbar, for example, the Generative Shape Optimizer (GSO) module.

A configuration is a set of modules optimized for a typical task. For example, the designer workstation – configuration MD2 – contains modules ID1, ASD, GDR, PDG, GS1, RT1, KE1, CC1, IG1, COM, V4I. The composition of the configurations is selected personally upon request.

3. What configurations are most commonly used in practice
MD1, MD2 – workplaces of a linear constructor. Modeling of parts and assemblies
XM1, XM2 – the same + sheet metal
ME1, ME2 – workstation for
design engineer YM1, YM2 – workstation for designer with freestyle modules
HD2 – workstation for modeling analytical surfaces
SD2 – analogous to MD2, but instead of modeling parts – sheet metal. Ideal for a combine factory where 80% of the parts are from
MS2 sheet –
DP2 kinematics
workstation – EI2 drawing release workstation – Wire harness workstation
Sometimes the question arises about the optimal configuration for surface modeling. It is believed that different industries have different principles for creating surface models. In aviation and shipbuilding, analytical surface definition with rigorous mathematics is required. This is done with the Generative Shape Design (GSD) module and the Hybrid Design (HD2) configuration. For designers driven by aesthetic considerations, the Freestyle module group and the YM2 configuration are intended. There is no configuration that combines both approaches. However, we can complete the HD2 configuration with freestyle modules.

4. What does the subscription to updates give?
Subscription to updates allows you to receive new versions of CATIA and service packs for them. When purchasing CATIA, a one-year subscription is required. You can download service packs on the technical support website and receive new releases from the CATIA provider that were released during the subscription period.

5. Add-on and Shareable add-on modules, what’s the difference?
If you do not have enough configuration functionality, we can attach additional modules to it. Modules are of two types: Add-on and Shareable. The add-on is attached to a specific configuration. Shareable can be used with any configuration available on the license server.

6. I am an individual. Can I buy CATIA licenses?
IGA Technologies has the right to sell licenses exclusively to legal entities.

7. Can I get a trial lisense?
Yes, you can get trial licenses for 1 or 3 months, depending on your needs. Trial licenses are issued exclusively to legal entities . Each request is considered individually. You can leave a request on our website, our manager will contact you and you will need to tell us more about your project.
