For generating various variants, an optimizer is used (OpenSource or commercial products such as OPTIMUS). A complete simulation process chain is required for the subsequent simulation process. The created CATIA models are passed to a preprocessor. The FCM CAT.CAE-Bridge works particularly well with Ansa and Hypermesh. A CAE solver is also needed (e.g., Nastran, Abaqus, LS-Dyna). The results are then processed and evaluated in a postprocessor (e.g., MetaPost or Animator).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_3 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h4 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What are the benefits of the FCM CAT.CAE-Bridge?<\/h4><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p><strong data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1074\">Speed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High automation of the entire process chain<\/li>\n<li>The geometry reversion from the design process is eliminated, and the optimized result is immediately available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1258\">Best Products:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The robust parametrization utilizes the entire available design space for the optimal result<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1383\">Maximum Flexibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1419\">The parametrization allows for:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turning parts of the design on\/off, such as bulkheads<\/li>\n<li>Varying the number and placement of ribs and holes<\/li>\n<li>Modifying component connections (weld points, adhesive seams, flange sizes, distances, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1258\">Robustness:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The stable parametrization and integrated variant tester enable the derivation of model variants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_4 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h4 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Who uses the FCM CAT.CAE-Bridge?<\/h4><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>Designers use the FCM CAT.CAE-Bridge in CATIA V5 to generate the variant space for the subsequent simulation process through parametric design, which is carried out by calculation engineers.
