Using Abaqus for Catia V5, expert analysts can define and deploy approved analysis workflows for use across the enterprise.
Dassault Systemes has released (DS) Abaqus for Catia V5 R18 SP4 This latest release of Abaqus for Catia V5 provides improved usability and robust design analysis capabilities directly in Catia V5 to accelerate the product development process
“Using realistic simulation in the design phase has enabled us to cut our time to market for a new latch significantly”, says Thomas Waldmann, Manager of the Technical Analysis and Simulation department at Kiekert, a global supplier of automotive door latches.
“Strength testing of automobile door latches is fundamental for us, but physical testing is slow and does not realise the whole job”.
“We began our linear analysis of door latches with finite-element calculations inside Catia”.
“By adding Abaqus for Catia V5 we are able to perform more complex nonlinear contact simulation, which is what we need for accurate strength testing in three dimensions”.
“Simulia is dedicated to delivering a scalable suite of design analysis products that permit our customers to start with basic design analysis and add functionality such as nonlinear contact, thermal analysis, or coupled multiphysics as needed”, according to Steve Crowley, Director of Simulia Product Management for Dassault Systemes.
“This release of Abaqus for Catia V5 continues our strategy of delivering scalable analysis solutions that allow realistic simulation to be used throughout the product lifecycle”.
Using Abaqus for Catia V5, expert analysts can define and deploy approved analysis workflows for use across the enterprise.
This capability enables design and engineering teams to improve collaboration while evaluating design performance through the use of common FEA models, technology and methods that are synchronised with their Catia V5 design.
