CAVA (CATIA – Automotive Extensions Vehicle Architecture) is an integrated compliance management solution designed to validate vehicle designs and architectures against international rules, norms, and standards throughout the entire design process. Developed in collaboration with German car manufacturers, CAVA ensures that designs meet legal requirements from the concept phase through to homologation. This feature-based and associative technology seamlessly integrates with CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE, providing automotive engineers with the tools to check vehicle geometry against specific regulations. Key functionalities include Pedestrian Protection, Interior Minimum Radius checks, Fields of View analysis, and Mirror Analysis, all presented as CATIA features. CAVA helps manufacturers navigate the complex and country-specific regulatory landscape, streamlining the release and homologation of vehicles.
