Description
Provides two new approaches for the end to end composite process: The grid composite
and the solid composite
These new approaches offer better optimization in the composite design steps and better mating
with structural parts in turbine wing design for the aerospace and energy industries.
Improves the end-to-end electrical process with more knowledge capture and reuse for
electrical design
The user may define knowledge user parameters on internal harness coverings and copy
data from a catalog definition to a harness design. A knowledgeware check allows the user to
validate the 3D harness segment diameters versus the harness segment diameters computed
from wires. The user may also synchronize equipment reference designator attributes between
electrical and tubing definitions using knowledge.

Announcement ZP08-0369
Provides more productivity in wire and harness design & flattening
V5.19 provides more efficient harness flattening with the ability to maintain bundle tangency from
a 3D harness design. It allows the use of XML electrical files in a local repository when using
ENOVIA VPM V5. Arranging segments in a support is improved to ensure wire routing and to
increase accuracy of complex connector assemblies (shell and connector).
Improves V4 to V5 electrical harness data migration
V4 to V5 migration brings numerous benefits in this release, such as the migration of V4
protection as V5 light protection. The user is able to use the enhanced V5 internal protection if
he or she migrates electrical data containing protections from V4 to V5. This enhanced migration
offers improved consistency of V4 and V5 bundle segment shape and length.
Brings a new EndCut command for structure design
The user may:
• Create, edit, and delete end cuts, and the end cut for a beam is integrated in the piece part
engine
• Translate a Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) or Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD)
feature during the explode mode through piece part process
• Define end cut graphic replacement in drafting
• Manage different graphic replacements for beam pillars
Enhances technological results usage in tooling design
The mold to cam function is enhanced to permit the creation of a technological results report.
Reporting of die/mold technological results is accessible via the new command Display
Technological Results (available with Prismatic Machining Preparation Assistant 2 (MPA)
license). Any user of the Tooling Design 1 product who has an MPA license can benefit from this
enhanced reporting command:
• Create a report (*.csv) on the technological results existing in a given die
• Define some in house processes between the design and the manufacturing stage that
provide the user with a powerful tool to control the integrity of the die design and prevents
costly iterations between design and manufacturing
Increases design productivity in sheet metal design
The powerful extrusion explode improvement offers an explode mode, which allows the user
to generate an associative wall on edge. Creating an extrusion becomes an accelerator of
the design and exploding the extrusion allows user to locally modify design while maintaining
associations.
Ensures new improvements in the machining simulation domain:
• Capability to support milling machines with interchangeable heads. This enhancement allows
the user to simulate milling machines with interchangeable heads, thus enabling the user to
verify numerical control (NC) tool paths for travel limits and collisions and modify if necessary.
• Machine configuration management within an operation. The new options in the existing tool
path modify dialog and the tool path trace allow the user to:
– Force the selection of a particular machine configuration during machine simulation
– Associate and persist a machine configuration along with a particular tool path point from
within the tool path modify dialog
– Apply this machine configuration during machine simulation when the particular tool path
point is to be reached

Announcement ZP08-0369
Ensures the design of complex machine parts with easy-to-use multi-axis machining
operations
V5.19 provides a new multi pocket flank contouring operation, which supports multiple tool
axes for point-to-point operation. The tool axis may be driven by an auxiliary surface (sweeping,
contour driven, iso-parametric, and curve following) through the 5x operation.
Reduces programming machining time
To get accurate information, the user can display the in-process stock on each milling or turning
operation. The tool path replay includes the capability to check collisions with parts and fixtures
defined in the part operation. During a contour driven operation, an extra guide may be defined
in several ways:
• By two points
• By a point and direction
• By an automatic guide contour computed to enable contact points on a guide curve
Multiple radial passes may be operated for thread and circular milling operations.
Enlarges and optimizes machining process and technology
V5.19 introduces new operations for NC machines. A new mode, by offset on contour, is
included for plunge milling, the clearance management is federated, and tool path cornerization
is available. In milling and turning, the user has the ability to manage the C-axis on a turret, and
it is now possible to conduct process machining on the main spindle and the counter spindle
part with the same tool. Also, the user may invert the tool orientation (0-180 degrees). Both a
conical tool and a user profile tool are supported in IPM generation for profile contouring in DPM
machining.
Design performance for innovation
Increases sales through on the plant, architecture, and construction industries thanks to
new capabilities in terrain modeling
These powerful improvements include the ability to:
• Work with meshed surfaces and volumes including tessellation and multi-slice commands
• Edit the meshes easily
• Create and manage Z-Level curves
• Benefit from dedicated improvements to the building implantation and enhancements to the
graphic performances
Provides the intersection edge fillet command to improve update stability during design
changes
The new intersection edge fillet command increases the part design user's daily productivity by
making it possible for the user to:
• Create fillets with the appropriate definitions, including definitions by the intersection of several
features and beyond the intersection of faces
• Rely on improved update stability during design changes
• Capture and reuse part design features easily
The user can define a power copy that includes a set of features and a fillet defined at the
feature intersection level. When this power copy feature is re-instantiated in another context, the
fillet is correctly updated since it does not depend on the intersection of the selected faces but
instead on the intersection of the features.

Announcement ZP08-0369
Improves productivity by providing easier definition and better stability of the blend
corner capability
This improvement extends the use of the blend corner capability for fillet definition (removing
small edges selection) and prevents the redefinition of former blend corners when modifying an
edge fillet. The user interface for creation by selection of edges or vertices, edition of the value,
and remove is enhanced to improve productivity.
Allows the user to define the gage taper hole main diameter using the selected face as the
reference
The user interface of the gage taper hole is improved to provide a new computation mode that
enables the user to compute the tapered hole using the selected face as the reference for the
main diameter.
Breakthrough technologies
Improves and accelerates the part and tooling design review process for
manufacturability with wall thickness analysis for the Cast & Forged Optimizer (CFO)
product
V5.19 delivers Cast & Forged Optimizer (CFO) with wall thickness analysis. This new capability
• Improves and accelerates the part and tooling design review process for manufacturability in
both casting and forging processes and injection molding processes for plastic part design
• Allows the user to analyze the part thickness either by projecting a ray from the selected point
inside the part and normally to its surface, or by rolling a sphere of a maximum diameter inside
the part
• Allows detailed and accurate analysis and provides quick identification of critical thin or thick
areas using a dynamic sectioning view and a transparent mode display
Ensures automatic filleting in shape design
Automatic filleting provides a significant process improvement, especially for the design of
plastic and molded parts. Previously, the process of filleting sharp edges to conform to existing
features was a repetitive and very time-consuming phase of the shape design process. This new
capability is particularly helpful for fillet manufacturing preparation because it can automatically
fillet the sharp edges of a shape in a single operation.
Permits fast surface creation from curves in the Imagine and Shape product
Two new primitive commands are added to provide an intuitive and productive interface with no
additional geometry creation. The extruded profile command enables the user to draw directly
the profile from the extrude command. Profile modification can be accomplished dynamically
within the extrude command, and a command is provided to revolve the profile around an axis
definition.
Collaborative PLM
Improves 3DXML export with shader support
Full compatibility with CgFX is provided for shadows. More materials are added to the materials
library, such as CarPaint and external shaders that can be imported to add even more effects.
Improves 3D annotations review using 3D XML
The functional tolerancing and annotation (FT&A) features defined in CATProduct and in
CATProcess documents can be saved in .3dxml documents as well as .CATPart annotations.
This allows the user to review them either using the DMU Dimensioning & Tolerancing Review
product or the 3D Live FT&A review product.

Announcement ZP08-0369
Supports new CAD formats
New multiCAD formats are supported, including SW2007, SW2008, SolidEdge V20, and
Parasolid V18.
Easy, open and smart
Provides CATIA application infrastructures with large scale management capabilities to
design large scale objects
After addressing the small scale management needs of the micro-electro-mechanical systems
industry in V5.18, CATIA V5.19 delivers large scale management (from 0.1 mm up to 10 kms)
capabilities using mechanical infrastructure. This infrastructure enables the user to design large
scale 3D objects, such as dams, and to benefit from complete integration in the Generative
Drafting and 2D Layout products.
Delivers advanced effects in rendering including soft shadows from multiple light sources
Shadows are made more realistic with the addition of multiple light sources. The user has the
ability to compute and store light maps off-line and then load them so that a scene can be
rendered in real time without waiting on calculations to be completed.
Ensures alignment to the latest PROStep/PDES.inc recommended practices for the
control of STEP transfers
New STEP validation properties are taken into account for assemblies, allowing the user to
check assemblies conversion even when geometry is not exchanged, as in the case of nested
assemblies.
Accessibility by people with disabilities
Owing to the graphics-intensive nature of its engineering design applications, this product has
been granted a deviation.
