This article reports that Boeing's reliance on Catia computer-aided design software was a much heralded part of the 777's development in the early 1990s. Now the airframe maker is betting that upgrades to the Dassault Systemes toolset will ease development, fielding and support of the 787. Boeing is the first to deploy updates to the Catia V5 digital suite that includes Enovia and the Delmia manufacturing definition tool. Enovia provides the data platform from which Boeing will manage the customer and supplier side of the 787's life cycle. Delmia should help the company define its assembly processes.
