    catia as fea solver

    CATIA V5 is mostly used to preproccessing (meshing and apply loads and restraints). MSC proposes a V5 plugin to use their solver, I believe this is the most common configuation in the industry. Only a few companies are using ELFINI (DS FEA solver) as their solver. Plus, that was before the...

    Any interest in WebEx training/consulting sessions?

    Just a thought : has any of you tried to use CATIA with Webex ? I have tried a couple of occasions, performances are really bad. Does anyone know how to get acceptable performance (at least 10 fps ?)

    migration V5R15 -> V5R16

    Hello, If you want to use R16, forget about R15. Your CATSettings will have to be recreated (there is XML dump that makes things "easier"). If you want to use R15 and R16 on the same machine, no problemo, just make sure to use different CATEnv directories, env files and a different folders for...

    Can Catia Import DWG with....

    Hello vik, I believe the multi-sheet is supported since R14 release, but you may verify that as I do not have this release yet. On R13, I think it just imports all the sheets in one sheet in CATIA V5, you can then cut /paste in another sheet.

    CATIA & LINUX

    IBM / DS supports all OS and there is no specific optimization for Windows. It is true that it is developped on Windows OS but the fact that it runs better on Windows is only due to the fact that x86 machine are simply more poweful, unless you get the high-end UNIX machine, in this case you have...

    Import CAD data

    Hello, You can use STEP translator if you can afford the license. Otherwise, you can use IGES, you won't have the solids but you can recreate the solid from the surfaces. Hope this will help Cheers, Excalibur

    What is the future direction CATIA/UG/IDEAS

    Hi everybody, The reason why almost all the major car manufacturers (except GM of course) are moving to CATIA V5 is because they need a partner for the long run, they need a partner that is able to develop and support a product for a pretty long period of time. The quality of CATIA V5 (and all...

    How do one attach the Intel MKL-library to Catia???

    Hi again, Unfortunately, the 5.2 MKL library is not supported on the V5R9, i think it will be supported with the V5R11 or something like that. Therefore yes, you HAVE to install the 5.1e library, sorry for the bad news ! Cheers

    How do one attach the Intel MKL-library to Catia???

    Hello, In order to use correctly the MKL librairies with CATIA V5R9, you need to have the proper MKL librairies installed : MKL 5.1e (not available anymore at the Intel website unfortunately). Then you need to add this line in your PATH environment variable : C:\Program Files\intel\MKL\ia32\bin...

    CAT00215 - ERROR RETURNED BY ROUTINE MDMAR IN IWPROC :

    In order to be able to read this file with CATIA V4, you must add in your USRENV.dcls that following line: CATSITE.PRJMODEL=TRUE;

    CATIA V5R6 and Intel MKL 5.1 (FEM analysis)

    Like I said, do not try to use the MKL 5.2E with CATIA V5R8 or CATIA V5R7 because IT WONT WORK !! I know Intel remove the MKL 5.2B from their website but if you ask IBM or INTEL, they should provide it to you.

    Displacement vectors in Catia V5 FEM

    Juliane, I think there a capture screen option to save the visualization of the vectors. About saving the results in a Excel file for example, I think you will have to wait for CATIA V5R9 and get the EST license which enables complex reporting.

    CATIA V5R6 and Intel MKL 5.1 (FEM analysis)

    Make sure that you have installed the Intel MKL 5.1b (the 'b' is important), I think you installed the Intel MKL 5.1e (which only be supported by CATIA V5R9) Cheers

    CATIA V5R6 and Intel MKL 5.1 (FEM analysis)

    Gionnino, Did you set the path in your environement variable : set PATH:=C:\Program Files\intel\plsuite\bin ? Cheers

    FE analysis of iges files

    Mike, Did you use the external view? You need to have an external view to mesh a surface. I think you can find it in Generative Shape Design, somewhere in 'View'... Cheers

    Thermal analyses and Catia...

    I guess most of FEM systems (like Cosmos, PATRAN/NASTRAN) can import IGES or STEP files. You can export IGES with CATIA V5 and import them back to perform your thermal analysis. Good luck

    Conver igs point file in to CTIA cloud file.

    Tric, I think you can go to the Free Style Workbench, there should be a "Import Cloud" icon, then select the iges file, I did that many times and it worked for me...

    Iges

    Hello everybody, Gilly, your problem is a known bug of CATIA, it was fixed I think with CATIA V5.7 Serive Pack 4 or 5. Anyway, the way around is to disable the export panel : go to Tools/Options/Compatibility/Iges : disable the export windows. you will be able to export. However, you will still...
