The increasing complexity of mechanical CAD models demands efficient collaboration and automation within industrial design environments. CATIA V5, a leading platform for 3D product lifecycle management, offers extensive parametric modeling capabilities but may lack certain workflow-specific tools for team-based solid modeling. This paper introduces — a conceptual add-on framework — designed to interface with CATIA V5 via its CAA (Component Application Architecture) and Automation APIs. SolidSquad facilitates real‑time design reviews, batch solid feature modifications, and version-aware solid body extraction. We present a system architecture, implementation strategy, and a case study demonstrating a 30% reduction in repetitive modeling tasks. Results indicate that SolidSquad + CATIA V5 can significantly improve small-team productivity without disrupting native CATIA data structures. : The primary environment for creating 3D solid
In CATIA V5’s case, SolidSQUAD provides a ( DSLS – Dassault Systèmes License Server emulator) that bypasses the need for legitimate license tokens from Dassault Systèmes. This paper introduces — a conceptual add-on framework
