Guide to bridge Dassault Systems Catia / Delmia into Virtual Reality with moreViz

  • Start the moreViz Launcher
  • Notice the moreViz-Tray icon (next to system time) and right-click it, select “moreViz Application Enabler”
  • Click “Locate known Apps”. The more3D application enabler will search the standard program files folders for known Dassault Systems Catia / Delmia installations and add them to the list.
  • If your Dassault Systems Catia / Delmia is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add” and then locate the “CNext.exe” file. It is usually located in
    “X:\Program Files\Dassault Systems\B24\Catia\win_b64\code\bin”
    The “B24” part of the path varies depending on the catia version number.

Place the enabled checkmark for the newly created entry.

  • The moreViz VR bridging function is now available for the Catia / Delmia installation. Start the moreViz Client(s) and Catia / Delmia.
  • When working in VR, please make sure to set the Visualization mode in Catia to “Perspective”, you can find it in View -> Render Style

In case there are any issues with the visualization in the moreViz client, make sure to have followed these guides:

  • Dual GPU & Quadro guide: For frozen or black image in client
  • Fit the 3D into the host app’s viewport: in case geometry is missing in the moreViz client

Quick Tipps:

  • For best performance with HMD, set the connection type to shared memory in the moreViz Launcher’s Connection Settings (only available for single-client setups on the local computer).
  • For best visual impression, set AntiAliasing / Pixel Density to 2x (or higher) in the moreViz Launcher’s Client Settings
  • SteamVR only: To operate the host application’s graphics user interface, check the SteamVR Desktops function of the SteamVR Dashboard.

The moreViz Software bridges over 35 applications to any SteamVR compatible Head Mounted Display and 3D Projectors. No Import/Export hassle, but a 1:1 VR plugin!
