To meet customer demands for tighter integration and more advanced analysis features, Abaqus for CATIA V5 Version 2.5 offers a new level of ease-ofuse and integration with CATIA, further enabling design engineers and expert analysts to access Abaqus technology and collaborate by using the same FEA models and methods. With this product your CATIA V5 models and your Abaqus models become synchronized, making the software a scalable solution for evaluating design performance.

“Abaqus for CATIA V5 allows our design engineers to immediately evaluate how new concepts and design changes affect product performance,” states Michael Thienel, MANN+HUMMEL GMBH. “This approach not only accelerates our development time, but also improves knowledge of our design’s physical behavior, giving us greater confidence in our product quality during the development stage.”

Tight integration with CATIA V5 is one of the most important usability features of Abaqus for CATIA V5 Version 2.5. The new release takes full advantage of CATIA Knowledgeware, publications, and sensors, further enabling the development of analysis templates, performance of interactive design loops, and leveraging of knowledge capture within Abaqus for CATIA V5 models. Specifically, support for publications enables the easy replacement of assembly components while automatically updating the FEA model. Support for sensors allows users to obtain specific locations in the model and to use the results to drive parameters in Knowledgeware formulas.

Abaqus for CATIA V5 helps us to
minimize the number of software
interfaces that we use during
the development of our exhaust
turbocharger,” states Markus
Staedeli, ABB Turbo Systems Ltd.
“This approach allows us to work
seamlessly with the same geometry
model throughout our virtual
development process and gain
significant efficiencies.”




Design engineers skilled in using CATIA V5 have access to a wide array of Abaqus simulation capabilities, while Abaqus experts can readily access CATIA V5 models for their analysis work. Abaqus for CATIA V5 Version 2.5 is a valuable tool for deploying customerspecific workflows across the engineering enterprise. It enables advanced simulation capabilities to be used routinely by design engineers to accelerate and improve product development.
