FEA with CATIA V5

FEA with CATIA V5

FEA with CATIA V5

(OP)
Hi,

Does anyone know how much reliable is the FEA module of CATIA V5 "generative structural analysis", compared with another FEA software?

RE: FEA with CATIA V5

When driven to produce FE models which closely match those produced by any other package (with very similar mesh density and the same boundary conditions) the results will be near enough identical. The hard part is getting it to produce models with acceptable mesh densities as the defaults (which a lot of users tend to accept without question) are tuned for speed and not quality.
