January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
DassaultSystemes (DS; Paris , France ) announced the availability of Abaqus for CATIA V5 R18 SP4 from its SIMULIA ( Providence , RI ) brand for realistic simulation.
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 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 synchronized with their CATIA V5 design.
The company says new capabilities include natural frequency analysis on the unloaded structure, or after any level of loading; enhanced precision in setting up models involving contact-nodal adjustments made by the Abaqus solver can be previewed in the user interface; improved CATIA Octree meshing to provide a higher level of element quality when working with Abaqus models; and element quality checks implemented in CATIA specifically for Abaqus users.
Register for a free one-hour webinar on Deploying Analysis Workflows with Abaqus for CATIA V5 on April 10.
