CAD - CAE - CAM Integration and Formats
CAD - CAE - CAM Integration and Formats
(OP)
Hello! I'm new at this forum, and came here to ask for a help...
My boss needs a software that operate design, simulation and the provides control of the whole process...
We were discussing about Dassault and their products or Siemens, but there is one big problem: The enterprise
already have SolidWorks license, and don't wanna change it.
I'm making some research, but it's hard to find which softwares can open (with no or little loss) SW files.
(the most important integration is CAD <=> CAE and CAD <=> CAM)
At last, can you inform me about the common formats used in these softwares?
Thank you for the help!

Why not continue with SolidWorks and use the CAM/CAE software addons?

Thanks JMirisola! I'll add this information in my report.
ctopher:
Hmm, it's because de addons in SW don't have good performance in simulation of mechanical behavior of composites
and can't configure the lay-up stage (as CAM software).
If the addons were as good as catia addons or FiberSIM, from Siemens, i really would indicate SW CAE/CAM (because the whole
enterprise works with it)

So, as you say, it will be better:
(for CAE) ==> NX or Abaqus/Simulia or Ansys
(for CAM) ==> NX or Delmia
I've read in many forums about the power of Abaqus and Ansys. But as I need a software that has an app to composite simulations,
i was thinking about NX (as Fibersim) or CATIA.
Thank you all! Really enjoy the forum and the discussions on it

Abaqus will allow you to work with composite materials.
Dassault now own both SW & Abaqus, so I would expect more integration in the future.
