German term or phrase: CATIA-affine Software
Context:

"CATIA-affine Software benötigt in der Regel Vorkenntnisse."

I know what this means, but really don't know how to put it. A literal translation "CATUIA-aphilic" obviously won't work.
This is in connection with a digital mock-up of a vehicle/aircraft, cf.

etc.

It is basically "die das Gesamtbild vereinheitlichen" that I'm not too sure about here, although the first half of the sentence also strikes me as somewhat problematic.

* Document type: Technical description
