We are very glad to introduce CATIA Visual Scripting in 3DEXPERIENCE R2023x : a new native application to generate highly sophisticated parametric designs with an intuitive no-code and algorithmic approach.
R2023x Visual Scripting CATIA Creative Design Engineering
This new application is part of our new ROLE Visual Script Designer, enriching and complementing our industries portfolio offer for creative & styling design, mechanical engineering, architecture, construction engineering and many more.
What is CATIA Visual Scripting ?
In few words, with CATIA Visual Scripting application, you can generate any geometries and designs using a sequence of parametric operations, represented as graph nodes (or "building blocks"). Relations between nodes are directly re-editable in order to develop your modeling algorithm with a direct & interactive 3D result. Any complex design can now be created without any line of code ! And this new application is fully integrated to the 3DEXPERIENCE Rich client, bringing a seamless and unified workflow with all our other apps.
And what are the differences with CATIA xGenerative Design ?
CATIA xGenerative Design is a web application, using cloud computing technology (to be used on any device) whereas CATIA Visual Scripting is a native application, part of the 3DEXPERIENCE rich client and requiring an installation and a specific hardware. The 2 apps are sharing the same algorithmic approach with the graph editor and the same core library of operators.
I am already using xGenerative Design, do I have to learn a completely new application ?
Don't worry, CATIA Visual Scripting is using the same graph editor interface as CATIA xGenerative Design, so you are already familiar with this new app ! In addition, all 3D models created with CATIA xGenerative Design can be reused and modified with CATIA Visual Scripting. And existing learning content or tutorials are still useful for new users.
