CAVA CATIA: Vehicle Architecture & Compliance Report (CATIA Automotive Extensions Vehicle Architecture) is a specialized software suite integrated into 3DEXPERIENCE platform
: It covers global regulations including ECE (Europe), FMVSS (USA), and EEC, as well as specific standards for markets like China. Dassault Systèmes Key Modules & Capabilities cava catia
The primary goal of CAVA is to ensure in vehicle design from the initial concept phase through to final homologation. It automates over 100 critical standard checks (e.g., ECE, SAE, FMVSS) to reduce the risk of non-compliance and costly late-stage rework.

This paper explores the role of CAVA (CATIA Automotive Extensions Vehicle Architecture) in modern automotive engineering. Developed as a joint project with German car manufacturers, CAVA is a specialized software solution designed to validate vehicle geometry against international rules, norms, and standards. By integrating directly into the CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE platforms, CAVA enables "virtual homologation," allowing manufacturers to verify compliance early in the design phase, thereby reducing the need for costly physical prototypes. 1.
