l product. According to these goals, the product design must use some modules of advanced CADCAMCAE software and the inter online 3D catalogs for some parts (more or less standard). The advantage obtained by using some modules from different CADCAMCAE software is to use the most performant parts of these software (specific to the engineering fields) at a low price (it isn’t necessary all the software, only some specific modules). The inter 3D online catalogs offer the advantage to find very easy useful information about mechanical elements (prices, technical characteristics, 3D models, etc,). Key words: CADCAMCAE software, inter online catalogues, online portal 3D catalogues, standard elements, integrated product design Now, in the industry exists a high petition to produce new, better and cheaper products. The manufactures have to deal with the increasing demands of the customers. They have to improve continuously the conception methods of the products, to modernize the organization structure in order to create a fluent link, without limits, between studies, design, preparation, manufacturing, mercialization and working life of the products. To bee more petitive into a world with diversity of products, with continuous changes, the panies must modernize and increase the flexibility of the production systems. The panies find out that the interactive design of a product is the most efficiently tool for analysis end evaluation. So the use of inter data base and CADCAMCAE software creates visual data base and industrial geometry design. Process and product development using puters and inter environment allow a substantially costs and time economy. On the market there is a lot of CADCAMCAE software which offer specific tools for engineering design into a tri dimensional virtual space. 165 MULTIPLE CADCAMCAE SOFTWARE PACKAGES These kinds of software are representing a very useful tool in products development design process. By using them it can be created a 3D virtual product, simulate from many point of view [1], in order to improve its characteristics (technical or non technical). Some of these software’s have better performances for some engineering fields as aeronautics, automotives, mechanical etc. Today single CADCAMCAE software cannot cover the entire industrial field for high performances. Another major disadvantage of that software’s is very high prices for a full version. Usual the prices are starting from several thousands of EUR. There are 3 advantages for the most CADCAMCAE software’s: 1 the software’s are structured in modules, even in the same area (for example: in CATIA in mechanical design are: part design。 iges for 3D surfaces etc). These types of files can be opened by almost all CADCAMCAE software in some specific condition Specific modules in the same domains dxf format Gear Catia format step format .
