Final Word from Dassault on Catia + OSX

After much speculation, the final word from Dassault with regards Catia on Mac OSX and it's:

"There needs to be a business case. We are examining a variety of options, but there are not yet any plan for delivering CATIA on OSX."

Jacques Leveille-Nizerolle, CEO CATIA, Dassault Systemes.

Oh well. So to make up for it. Here's a gratuitous video of Catia's Imagine and Shape. Not coming to OSX. But which is pretty bloody wicked anyway.

Is Dassault Systems' Catia V6 coming to OS X?

News out of the Catia Operators Exchange, currently taking place in Seattle, is that Catia V6 might be ported to the OS X platform. Neil Littell, posts that V6 will run on Ubuntu and OSX. According to a quick Google, Neil is the Product Lifecycle Management Coordinator for the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) at Mississippi State University. I've asked Dassault Systemes for more details on this and will post them as soon as I get 'em. In the meantime, here's a little video of Imagine & Shape. UPDATE - SEE NEXT POST
