Q4 2022 (general availability) Support Status: Active maintenance (typical extended support through ~2025–2027) The Part Design workbench is where solid modeling

The core of CATIA V5-6R2023's power lies in its workbench-based architecture, which organizes specialized tools into dedicated environments for specific engineering tasks. The Part Design workbench is where solid modeling begins, typically transforming 2D sketches into 3D volumes using tools like pads, pockets, and shafts. For more advanced needs, the CADCIM Technologies guide highlights the use of multi-section solids and the DMU Kinematics workbench, which enables users to simulate and analyze mechanical movements dynamically. This release also emphasizes backward compatibility and stability, ensuring that legacy data from earlier V5 versions remains accessible while providing updated tools for generative structural analysis.
