Step by Step Installation Process of Catia V6R2009 x64 bit on Windows XP x64 bit.

Dear CAD HELP CENTER readers as we all know that Dassault Systemes already released the new CAD platform named Catia V6R2009 and Catia V6R2010 (both in x32 bit and x64 bit) which is a combined bundle of multi modules includes Solid Modeling, Sheet metal Designing, Surface Designing, Digital Mock-Up (DMU), Kinematics, Finite Element Analysis, Machining, Equipment & Systems, Logic Designing and many more.....

The most advantages and must needed feature of Catia V6 is inbuilt PLM version 2. Yes this one have inbuilt PLM so that you will not bother anymore for any file management issues or linking problems.

So here in this post I am describing my experience of installation of Catia V6R2009 x64 bit on my desktop computer in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 2.
The same can be checked in the below picture.


As mentioned above this is a x64 bit version of Catia V6R2009 and it can be only installed on x64 bit operating systems means Windows XP x64, Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64.

Here I have installed in only Windows XP professional x64 bit and hope that it will also work in other x64 bit Windows.

After complete installation of Catia V6R2009 x64 bit on my computer I realize that the overall process of installation is easy but some of the third party applications required before starting installation. These third party software's are needed to be preinstalled on your machine or computer. Here are a list of supporting software's required before installing:

  1. Microsoft Core XML Services version 6 component (MSXML6) : you can download this from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
  2. The second one is Java version 5 or Higher : http://java.com or Download Java Runtime Environment 64-bit here 
  3. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (or higher).or Download Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (or higher) 
After installation of these above applications you can start installation of Catia V6R2009 x64 bit.
First of all mount the DVD in the drive and run the setup.exe.


Here if you have not installed the MSXML6 on your machine or computer, setup will show you the error screen like below:


After installation of MSXML6 setup will show you the welcome screen of Catia V6 Installation.On welcome screen click next button.



On next screen setup will ask you for a nodelock license key. If you have then press import certificate and complete the process. Then click next button.


Choose destination folder for installation. The default one will be like C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B205 or you can choose your own location.Then click next button.




As there is not any directory like mentioned above so you have to create a directory as shown below. Click on YES and then click next button.




Then define or choose Environment Location. The default one will be like C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv



Keep it as it is and click next button. This will ask you to create Environment Directory, click on Yes button and then click next button.



 In setup type select Complete and click next button.



During Video MJPEG Codec check mark the button to install the codec and click next button.


Keep the Communication Port same as recommended and click next button.

 

Then it will ask you to define JAVA directory, then give the java home path like C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 


where you have installed the JAVA 6 and click next button.


Select the shortcuts you want and click next button.



Then Setup will show you the files to be copied. if you want to modify anything then you can click on back button and make the modifications. If you want to continue then click on Install button.



Then you will see a summery of all the information you provided during installation. Click on Install button.



Now Setup will start the installation. 


Just wait for completion and click on Finish button (Uncheck the launch Catia V6R2009 now)
 


Copy JS0GROUP.dll (From Crack/JS0GROUP.dll) and overwrite the original one in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B205\win_b64\code\bin

Now Run the Catia V6R2009. This will show you an error of license manager as shown below.

Now select at least one configuration or product from the available list and restart the session to take settings into account.


To run CATIA V6R2009 you have to point so called Provider Data Source. It may be 3D XML, Enovia or Smart Team databases.

For example (choosing 3D XML) press More->Add New Connection.

 



During add connection choose Connection Type as the '3DXML' and click on next button.

 
and for 3D XML path choose this path and click finish button:
C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B205\win_b64\resources\3DXMLModels\Sample.3dxml


Now click on the OK button on data source dialog box.Now you will see connect screen.
Please check the data source path (This will be) as below:
C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B205\win_b64\resources\3DXMLModels\Sample.3dxml (3DXML) 

and then click on OK button:    



After this you will see the Root of Sample.3DXML screen, here you can browse the existing Enovia3DLive_Quad product.



or you can create your own new product by clicking on new button or via PLM Access menu.Select the product type you want to make (like Mechanical Product) and click on Next button.



In Mechanical Product Tab Select Product or 3D Shape. Here Product Means new assembly or product and 3D shape means Part if we compare it with earlier versions of Catia till V5R20. Then give a part number and description and click on Finish Button.


Now you are ready to make any new product which can be a single representation or have multiple representations. You can go in Feature or sketcher mode via double clicking on representation or part body.
If you want to change the module then click on the 3DS Icon or button on lower left corner in light green color. you can swap visible space by clicking on the fold icon on right hand lower corner beside 3DS Catia logo.



One noticeable thing in Catia V6 is the there are no more parts. There are only representations and products.

Hope that this will help you to install and understand the new version of CATIA V5R2009 with PLM Version 2.0

If any query or feedback or suggestion, then let me know via comments.

Hello, where do i get enovia?
I can´t find it anywhere. I only found the 3dviacomposer, but i think it has a different purpose.

Greetings from Germany

Did you figure out how to open a file once its been saved in the database? I can find representations I "propagated" using search but there's no open button, which as far as I know is due to lack of license.

Anonymous said...

I can 'propagate' and look at files. I can't edit them though. Some features are missing for me like applying core material etc. Am i missing an enovia license?
