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
