CATIA Customization, Automation & Integration
Accelerate automotive, aerospace and industrial design in CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE. We build VBA / CATScript macros, CAA C++ applications and Knowledgeware templates that automate complex engineering tasks.
Automation for the most demanding design environments
CATIA is the design platform of choice for automotive OEMs, aerospace companies and their suppliers. Projects involve huge assemblies, complex surfaces, strict OEM standards and many repetitive tasks, from creating holes and fasteners to preparing drawings and checking models before delivery.
ENGIMANDI provides CATIA automation at every level: quick VBA and CATScript macros, Knowledgeware rules, checks and PowerCopies, and full CAA C++ applications with custom workbenches, commands and features. We also integrate CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE with ERP, PLM and simulation tools.

CATIA customization questions
Macros or CAA: which is right for us?
Macros are quick and need no extra licences, ideal for many automation tasks. CAA offers full integration, custom features and best performance but requires CAA development licences. We help you choose.
Do you support CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE?
Yes. We develop for CATIA V5 releases and for CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Can you work with our OEM's standards?
Yes. We implement OEM-specific modelling and delivery standards as automated checks and tools.
Is our design data secure?
Yes. We sign NDAs and follow your data-handling rules, including working on your systems via secure remote access if required.
