This study shows how to utilize the CATIA V6 Dynamic Behavior Modeling (DBM) software environment for the purpose of co-simulation of physical models. The implementation of a co-simulation using Building Controls Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB) is demonstrated and the pros and cons are discussed. Further the methods for FMI export and import in CATIA are explored with respect to implementing a co-simu...

During product development, design engineers often have the freedom to modify a number of parameters. However, any design modification requires validation to ensure the satisfaction of requirements for all load cases. With Abaqus for CATIA V5 (AFC), nonlinear finite element technology is made available within the CATIA environment, allowing design engineers to efficiently incorporate accurate s...

Several different CAD systems are in use at CERN today. Most of the 3D design work for the LHC is being done using Euclid from MDTVision. For 2D design work AutoCAD is widely used. Also, various special design tools exist for tasks such as electrical design and schematics. Even though the LHC design will be finished with Euclid, it has been clear since several years that a new 3D CAD system wil...

Purpose: This study tries to develop a simulation model of six degree freedom for Faraman AM1 welding robot using CATIA V5 and compares with the computed kinematic model for robotic welding. The error varification of simulated model and kinematics of the robot is also being carried out. Design/methodology/approach: CATIA (Computer Aided Three dimensional Interactive Application) is a multi-plat...

Simulate the computer-aided design of gymnastic device in the pre-development stage by applying CATIA V6 software, and explore the matching degree between gymnastic device design and human body database using the theory and data of Ergonomics. Build the improved model of gymnastic device based on CATIA V6 virtual human data and explore the best evaluation method of man-machine simulation for gy...
