Distributive Processing

[jrhagen]

Does Catia V5 R17 support distributive processing? What I mean by this is, can you run multiple PC's as slaves from one computer to help with large assemblies? I know that is possible to do this with Pro-E but do not know how to do this with Catia or if it is even possible. Also, if possible is there a certain licence required for this functionality? Thank you in advance for any insight into this issue.

Hmmm... Never heard of it. I strongly suspect that the answer is no.

CATIA doesn't use multiple processors very well. Only a couple workbenches support it (DMU for Tesselation, and FEA for the analysis).

Try using 64-Bit CATIA with lots of RAM.
