Editing CATIA (section)

== History ==
CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer [[Dassault Aviation|Avions Marcel Dassault]] to provide 3D surface modeling and [[numerical control]] functions for the [[CADAM]] software they used at that time<ref>[http://ridwan.staff.gunadarma.ac.id/Downloads/files/8426/history-catia.pdf A history of CATIA by former CEO of Dassault Systèmes Francis Bernard]</ref> to develop the [[Mirage (aircraft)|Mirage]] fighter jet. Initially named CATI (''conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive''&nbsp;– French for ''interactive aided three-dimensional design''), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created the subsidiary Dassault Systèmes to develop and sell the software, under the management of its first CEO, [[Francis Bernard (engineer)|Francis Bernard]]. Dassault Systèmes signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with [[IBM]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://isicad.net/articles.php?article_num=14120 |title=isicad :: The DASSAULT SYSTEMES Success Story |access-date=17 June 2015}}</ref> that was also selling CADAM for Lockheed since 1978. Version 1 was released in 1982 as an add-on for CADAM.

During the eighties CATIA saw wider adoption in the aviation and military industries with users such as [[Boeing]] and [[General Dynamics Electric Boat|General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp.]]<ref name="RandCorp">{{cite journal |title=RAND Corporation-Virginia Case Study |journal=Learning from Experience |pages=61–92 |date=2011 |jstor=10.7249/j.ctt3fh0zm.13 |last1=Schank |first1=John F. |last2=Ip |first2=Cesse |last3=Lacroix |first3=Frank W. |last4=Murphy |first4=Robert E. |last5=Arena |first5=Mark V. |last6=Kamarck |first6=Kristy N. |last7=Lee |first7=Gordon T. |isbn=9780833058966 }}</ref><ref name="USW W99">{{cite journal |last1=Graves |first1=Barbara |first2=Edward |last2=Whitman |url=http://www.public.navy.mil/subfor/underseawarfaremagazine/Issues/Archives/issue_02/virginia_class.htm |title=''Virginia''-class: America's Next Submarine |journal=Undersea Warfare |publisher=US Navy |date=Winter 1999 |volume=1 |number=2 |access-date=26 April 2015 |archive-date=31 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150831001014/http://www.public.navy.mil/subfor/underseawarfaremagazine/Issues/Archives/issue_02/virginia_class.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="submarinesuppliers1">{{cite web |url=http://www.submarinesuppliers.org/programs/index.php |title=Submarine Industrial Base Council |publisher=Submarinesuppliers.org |date=22 December 2008 |access-date =6 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119163338/http://www.submarinesuppliers.org/programs/index.php |archive-date=2012-01-19}}</ref>

Dassault Systèmes purchased CADAM from [[IBM]] in 1992, and the next year CATIA CADAM was released. During the nineties CATIA was ported first in 1996 from one to four Unix operating systems, and was entirely rewritten for version 5 in 1998 to support [[Windows NT]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |url=http://www.freecad.sk/en/cad-history |title=FreeCAD – FreeCAD / CAD History |access-date=2017-03-15 |language=en-gb}}</ref> In the years prior to 2000, this caused problems of incompatibility between versions that led to $6.1B in additional costs due to delays in production of the [[Airbus A380]].<ref name="calleam.com">{{cite web |url=http://calleam.com/WTPF/?p=4700 |title=Airbus – A380 |date=11 April 2013 |access-date=17 June 2015}}</ref>
