CATIA V5-6R2018: Generative Structural Analysis 1–2 © 2020, ASCENT - Center for Technical Knowledge® 1.1 CATIA Finite Element Analysis Portfolio CATIA portfolio offers several workbenches and multiple products related to the finite element analysis (FEA) and simulation. The summary is presented in the following table. Each product listed above requires a license. Depending on your company's CATIA licensing setup, either the license may be included into a configuration or it exists as a shareable product (i.e., on-demand). For example, the SA2 configuration automatically includes GPS, GAS, and EST licenses, while the HD2 configuration does not. If the product you intend to use in your FEA simulation is not automatically included in your CATIA configuration, it may be available as a shareable license, activated via Tools>Options>General>Shareable Products. This training course covers the GPS and GAS products; therefore, ensure that you have appropriate licenses in order to be able to perform the hands-on practices in this guide. Workbench Product Description Generative Structural Analysis GPS (Generative Part Structural Analysis) Basic structural analysis for parts GAS (Generative Assembly Structural Analysis) Basic structural analysis for assemblies EST (Elfini Structural Analysis) Advanced options for GPS and GAS GDY (Generative Dynamic Response Analysis) Dynamic Time Response and Frequency Response analyses Advanced Meshing Tools FMS (FEM Surface) Advanced surface meshing tools FMD (FEM Solid) Advanced solid meshing tools Nonlinear Structural Analysis ANL (SIMULIA Nonlinear Structural Analysis) ABAQUS nonlinear structural analysis integrated with CATIA Thermal Analysis ATH (SIMULIA Thermal Analysis) ABAQUS thermal analysis integrated with CATIA Sample provided by ASCENT for review only All copying and reuse strictly forbidden.
