CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. V5, the same software used by worldwide industry giants such as Boeing, Airbus, Toyota and DaimlerChrysler. The ThinkPad development team has used CATIA for several years to help with the design process for ThinkPad systems. CATIA V5's design and analysis capabilities were key to the development of the ThinkPad Z60 and enabled Lenovo to bring the model to market faster. The ThinkPad Z60 is the first widescreen multimedia ThinkPad notebook with integrated wireless wide-area network technology, designed for mobile and small business users who rely on one notebook computer for both work and life demands.
