Dassault Systèmes CATIA base installation part

VWGRCLite does not include any CATIA software supplied by Dassault Systèmes. For the VWGRCLite 11 you’ll need a CATIA basic installation that consists of CATIA V5-6 R2024 SP03 and a currently unknown Hotfix.

The VWGRCLite requires a pre-installed CATIA V5-6R2024. The complete P2 or P3 installation media from Dassault Systèmes for CATIA V5-6 R2024 plus VX1 software, the Service Pack 03 and a Hotfix must be installed. This basic installation is a prerequisite for the VWGRCLite.

The special VX1 software can be found at the bottom of this page in the downloads.

The necessary CATIA software (GA code, service pack and hotfix) can be obtained from your CATIA system house in charge. Volkswagen AG can’t provide this software to you.

For the CATIA V5-6 installation, the specifications of Dassault Systèmes must be observed.

Note: CATIA PLM Express is officially not supported by Volkswagen AG for the VWGRCLite.

Due to extensive changes of CATIA V5-6R2024 SP03 it may be necessary to adjust certain methodical processes.
