With SimDesigner Enterprise for CATIA, MSC.Software has issued a simulation
environment that is fully integrated into CATIA V5 and that can also directly
define and compute multiphysics and interdisciplinary calculations onto the
native CAD geometries


Product Features

- Direct integration of component safety within the development process
- All geometrical changes of component parts and group of components are
associatively considered in the computed design modell
- A fully CATIA V5 integrated simulation environment allows the following
computed design modells:
* Linear + non-linear structure mechanics of component groups and
component parts
* Multi-body dynamic simulation of assembly processes in relation to
masses, forces, friction that also offers automatic detection of body
contacts during the motion.
* Stationary and transient temperature inspection, heat transition,
thermo-mechanical interface
* Gateway to LS-DYNA for the simulation of heavy material deformation
(recast) as well as crash simulations
- SimDesigner Enterprise features the industrial standards MSC Solver
NASTRAN, MARC and ADAMS
- Close integration to explicite solver LS-DYNA of Livermore Software
Technology Corp.


Benefits

- Geometry based and interdisciplinary simulation
- Early and profound evidence of dynamical performance as well as of
mechanical and technical characteristics
- Security in regard to required product features is gained thus shorter
development times and cost cuts.
- Optimization of geometry and design of experiments (DOE) can easily
be defined and simulated through CATIA parameters.
- company wide scalable simulation platform though integrated gateways
to standard stand-alone Solver
- Manual geometry processing time is reduced or even fully avoided
- Close cooperation between development and computed design departments
is realized.
- Improved cooperation through identical data structure, glossary and
computing design systematics
- Re-use of computed design sepecifications through compatibility of data
(NASTRAN-data deck) to MD Nastran and other enterprise simulation
solutions
