CATIA parametric coupling with Matlab

CATIA parametric coupling with Matlab

CATIA parametric coupling with Matlab

(OP)
Hello everyone, a brief search did not turn out any discussions about the question I'm asking.  I'm more familiar with NX so my question is framed from an NX perspective -- please bear with me.

I would like to couple CATIA with Matlab/Simulink in such a way that the latter would pass parametric data that would be used in CATIA to generate a solid model from fully-constrained cross section sketch(es) or parameterized surface(es).  Simple example: Matlab would pass the radius of a sphere as a parametric variable to a CATPART, which would then generate that sphere.

After this, I would like to be able to mesh the resulting body for downstream CAE analysis.  All these would be as automated as possible.

Is this possible?


Many thanks in advance.  

RE: CATIA parametric coupling with Matlab

CATIA can import your results as parameters. I have a CATScript which create spheres in points with a specific radius but for sure it can be modified to do what you want.

Can you upload an example file? Anyway, I will upload later an example how to "link" CATIA parameters (dimensions of a simple box) and EXCEL.
