Interacting with photorealistic models has tangible benefits for
Engineers and Designers. Complex add-on programs and long wait
times used to mean that photorealistic rendering was reserved just
for the styling and marketing departments. No longer. Realistic
models are fast becoming a necessity for designers and engineers
for more accurate and faster decisions throughout the entire process.
Now, with rendering integrated directly within CATIA Live
Rendering —powered by NVIDIA
®
Multi-GPU technology—
Live Rendering provides an intuitive and interactive
means for creating images that rival photographs,
up to 10x faster.

NVIDIA Multi-GPU technology
combines multiple NVIDIA graphics processors in a
single workstation to provide simultaneous design
and simulation. One GPU performs the heavy lifting
of photorealistic rendering or engineering simulation
computation, freeing the other to power rich, full-
performance, interactive design.
You can easily use materials and lights that correspond
to and react like those in the physical world, quickly
bringing your models to life. Assemblies of every size can
now be interactively rendered directly within CATIA with a
remarkably simple user interface.
Read on to find out how CATIA Live Rendering with
NVIDIA Multi-GPU can benefit multiple styling and
engineering roles.
Easily interact with photorealistic
rendering right within the CATIA
application.

3D Modelers
Easily turn your CATIA models into compelling photorealistic rendering
to clearly communicate your vision and progress. With the material and
environment libraries pre-loaded in CATIA Live Rendering, pushing a button
is all you need to turn your traditional CAD models into an exquisite picture.
At any stage of the design, you and your colleagues can see how the product
will look in real life. Use the final images to create compelling project update
for management, next cube or around the world. An accurate picture is worth
more than a thousand words.
Perceived Quality Engineers
Perform extensive gap analysis or fit and flush functionality tests to quickly
and accurately see real-world examples of your design. Choose and place
physically accurate lights that cast perfect shadows on your model so you can
analyze them from countless points of view. Not only will this help evaluate
perceived design quality, but could also help you catch fitting errors before its
too late—and without creating costly physical models.
Ergonomic Engineers
Easily modify models and study reflections across windshields and mirrors
early in a car design without prototyping. For example, CATIA Live Rendering
allows optimal windshield curvature and dashboard light placement for
daylight or nighttime environment. The interactive experience also allows you
to quickly adjust side mirror angle of vision to minimize blind spots.
Light Engineers
See complex light designs in various environments from car headlights,
blinkers, and dashboards gauges to diodes and screen reflections on
consumer electronic devices.
Packaging Engineers
Place the “final” product on a supermarket shelf or an intimate boutique
setting to see how it will look in a real-world environment against the
competition. Make design changes on the fly before thousands are made
and shipped.

Design Review
The integration of NVIDIA

can now engage in interactive, photorealistic team reviews for quick and
Iray
®
within CATIA means designers and engineers
accurate decision making. With the power of NVIDIA Quadro GPUs you can
seamlessly walk through photorealistic scale2 models and modify them on the
fly if necessary.
Color and Trim Experts
Review and change materials interactively using lifelike material libraries.
This allows you to see how different materials will look and interact with
one another before materials are ordered and prototypes are built. Visualize
reflections and refraction effects to create a rare wood feel or guide light
through a designer perfume bottle.
Marketing
Waiting for physical prototypes and setting up expensive and lengthy photo
shoots delay time to market and consume budgets. With CATIA Live Rendering
stunningly accurate images are ready for prime time as soon as the design is
done. Go right from the 3D model to the photorealistic representation of the
product for use, as-is, in marketing or training materials. Save weeks and get
to market faster!
Industrial Design
Make the right decisions very early in the concept design with models
imported straight from CATIA. Choose the right shape language and evaluate
proportions, the global form, and product attitude. Test out new ideas and see
them in a real life environment to find the perfect design.
Master Surfacers
Traditional “zebra” analysis use approximations to evaluate the final surfaces.
With the neon room environment available in CATIA Live Rendering you can
directly interact with the final photorealistic model. You can move the model
and study how the physically accurate light reflects and improve surface
connections for the perfect finish.

Performance for CATIA Live Rendering
You can see how fast Live Rendering can be with
the power of NVIDIA Multi-GPU technology. No
longer do you need to wait forever for beautiful,
print-quality images. As you add NVIDIA GPUs,
performance gets exponentially faster. So you
actually get more than you pay for. Multi-GPU
technology gives engineers, designers, and digital
content creators the freedom to visualize and
simulate at the same time on a single system.
