Four scenarios are possible to perform mechanical engineering:

User profile	Scenario	Authoring tool	Detailed guidance and resources
Mechanical CATIA V5 users	1. Use CATIA V5 only		CATIA V5 Onboarding
	2. Connect to the Cloud Services using CATIA V5 Power'By		CATIA V5 with Cloud Services
	3. Migrate to CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Mechanical		Transition paths to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
NEW users  starting CAD  with CATIA  OR Mechanical "transformative" CATIA V5 users	4. Start with CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Mechanical		Mechanical Engineering on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Two paths can be followed to help mechanical users leverage the cloud: 

a. Connect to the cloud through Power'By as a transition step for CATIA V5 users, then switch as a 3DEXPERIENCE user         (scenarios 2 and 3 in the image above)

b. Connect directly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to access granted roles and Apps (scenario 4 in the image above)
