Catia

What works

Program installs and is able to load/save large assemblies. 

What does not

Doesn't show anything in the windows when windows version is set to vista. Was able to get it working by setting it to ME. 

Workarounds

What was not tested

Many things, program is huge. 

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

Much faster than running in windows. I get about 3 times the frame rate when viewing large assemblies of several thousand parts.

If application hags up for you on its start-up on Wine 1.1.34 or higher then you can fix it in two different ways:

Method #1

Please fire up terminal and do following:

su - root
ulimit -n 16384
su - your_user_name
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Dassault Systemes/B19/intel_a/code/bin
wine "catstart.exe" -run "CNEXT.exe" -env CATIA.V5R19.B19 -direnv "C:\users\Public\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv" -nowindow 

You will have to do it always to run CATIA V5 without hang up.

Method #2

If you don't want to do it every time then do following:

1) open /etc/security/limits.conf with root permissions
2) add following line to that file
*                -    nofile             3000
3) save the file, log out then log in to apply the change

Now you can start CATIA V5 just as you would do normally.­

Above informations were given by Dan Kegel.To know more, why you have to do this, look at bug #22230

Please do not use Wine version from 1.1.19 till 1.1.23 because there is an regression which prevents successful installation of CATIA V5
