Analysis software Abaqus CAD Associative Interface

interfaceCADdesign

The Associative Interfaces enable geometry transfer from a CAD system to Abaqus/CAE. These powerful add-ons enable you to send selected components or an entire assembly from the CAD system to Abaqus/CAE with a single mouse click. You can modify your model in supported CAD systems and update the model in Abaqus/CAE without losing any analysis features assigned to the model using associative import. A plug-in for the CAD system provides the connection between the applications and the CAD Connection establishes the toolset in Abaqus/CAE. Associative Interface for CATIA Associative Interface for 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA The Associative Interface for 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA allows you to transfer 3DEXPERIENCE Parts and Products into Abaqus/CAE using associative import. The CAD model assigns materials and publications to the Abaqus/CAE model as material and set definitions, respectively. The following import techniques are available with the Associative Interface for 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA: Automatic associative import swiftly transfers models between concurrent 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA and Abaqus/CAE sessions on a single computer. After transferring the model, you can continue making design modifications in 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA and distribute these modifications to the Abaqus/CAE model with a single mouse click. In addition, each time you import the modified model from 3DEXPERIENCE to Abaqus/CAE, it regenerates the features created in Abaqus/CAE, such as partitions, loads, boundary conditions, sets, and surfaces.
