MSC SOFTWARE FROM CADENCE
SimDesigner – Simulation within CATIA V5
SimDesigner lets you investigate components and assemblies within your CATIA V5 environment. Structural, motion and thermal analyses are available through the respective workbenches.
Discuss SimDesigner with usTechnical Product Overview
SimDesigner adds specialised workbenches and access to MSC analysis capabilities to CATIA V5.
Structural analysis
Use MSC Nastran for analyses including statics, natural modes and buckling.
Nonlinear analysis
Use Marc to investigate large deformation, plasticity and contact.
Motion simulation
Create motion models from CATIA assemblies and simulate their dynamics.
Thermal analysis
Investigate steady-state and transient heat transfer with Marc.
Thermomechanical assessment
Apply calculated temperature distributions to structural analyses.
Results in your workflow
Review motion through animations and plot results as curves.
Where is SimDesigner used?
Design-stage analysis
Investigate components and assemblies within the CAD workflow.
Mechanisms
Assess assembly motion and dynamic response.
Thermally loaded components
Study temperature distributions and their effects on structural behaviour.
We help clarify suitable workbenches, solver licences and compatibility with your CATIA V5 version.
