As of mid-2026, Dassault Systèmes has not announced a launch date for a product explicitly named "CATIA V7." The company has shifted its naming and versioning strategy toward its 3DEXPERIENCE Platform , where CATIA functions as a set of "roles" (e.g., "CATIA Mechanical Designer," "CATIA FEA Engineer") rather than a monolithic version number like V5 or V6. According to the Dassault Systèmes website
The latest version of CATIA is CATIA V6 and 3DEXPERIENCE, which are part of the Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is a 3D modeling software widely used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment.
Monitor official Dassault Systèmes announcements at their annual 3DEXPERIENCE World conference or their corporate newsroom. Disregard unofficial "leaked release dates" for "CATIA V7" as likely confusion with 3DEXPERIENCE platform updates.
