摘要

The creation and evolution of CAD tools have always been closely linked with the aerospace industry. CAD systems, originally developed solely to represent and manage design in a more automated manner, have gradually incorporated applications that oversee the remaining stages or phases of a product’s lifecycle: manufacturing engineering, production, quality, and after-sales services (maintenance, repairs, and spare parts). These ecosystems of integrated applications, which exchange information increasingly efficiently, are known as PLM and are among the pillars of today’s Industry 5.0. The driving force behind all these systems (the foundation that supplies the initial information for the other application) is none other than a CAD tool. Until very recently, and almost exclusively for aerospace manufacturers, this tool had been CATIA, in its various versions and releases. The emergence of 3DExperience, which, while maintaining continuity with the path established by CATIA, represents a significant leap forward (particularly with its more collaborative working approach) is set to modify some of the paradigms of PLM environments. Focusing on graphic engineering, this article reviews and draws conclusions from the aerospace industry’s first experience applying 3DExperience to a complete aircraft. The subject is the Falcon 10X business jet, whose primary manufacturer is the French company, Marcel Dassault. We will focus on the HTP and VTP that AIRBUS, within its Aerostructures division in Spain, designs, having completed the assembly of the first unit at the Tablada plant in Seville at the end of 2024, acting as Dassault’s partner.
