WHEN WILL CATIA V5 BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MULTIPLE CORE
PROCESSORS, ESPECIALLY IN COMPUTING NC TOOLPATHS? SIMULATION AND
ANALYSIS? KINEMATICS AND DMU? CORE WORKBENCHES (MD2)?

For Analysis and Simulation, the V5 applications have been taking
advantage of multiple core processors for many years (in solver
computations). The V5 and Version 6 Visualization component is also
taking advantage of two core processors with all V5/Version 6
applications benefitting from multi-core processing for view point
manipulation.
In Version 6, major changes were required in terms of architecture in order to support multi-core processing. Version 6 takes advantage of multi-core processing for:
• Machining: parallel processing technology in tool path computation for roughing, sweeping, slope area, contour driven is supported in V6R2011x
• DMU interference algorithms
• Geometric modeler with significant performance gains
