CAD Package Support
This section contains a list of supported CAD Clients, the CAD import versions, and the CAD export versions.
CAD Packages for CAD Clients
When installing CAD
Clients, the target CAD package must be present on the installation machine. Without
this, you can force the installation of a particular sub-component, but there is no
guarantee that this will work correctly with your CAD package. The following CAD
packages are required to run the CAD Clients:
| CAD Client | CAD Package Version | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Client for CATIA V5 | CATIA V5-6R2019 (R29) | An
