Key Functionalities
- Import and export of linear structural FE data
- Import of results for post-processing within CATIA V5 (static, frequency and fatigue solutions)
- Export of ELFINI results
- Support of GPS local beam and shell properties
- Support of assembly of analysis documents
- Support of FEA user numbering if present in the model
- Support of multiple load cases
- Support of data mapping
- No composite or thermal analysis support
Requirements
One of CATIA V5 product or environment is required:
- ME2 (Mechanical Engineering 2) Configuration
- MD2 (Mechanical Design 2) Configuration + GPS (Generative Part Structure Analysis) Product
