Nonlinear and Thermal Analysis for CATIA V5

SIMULIA Extended Analysis extends the CATIA V5 Analysis capabilities. Designers looking to quickly evaluate real world performance and deliver the right design, the first time, now can enhance their product simulation methods to include basic nonlinear and thermal analysis.

The existing CATIA Analysis products are ideal for designers who want to evaluate their designs, but are limited to the linear structural response of parts and assemblies. Many products are subject to both thermal and structural loads, or are made of materials like rubber that are inherently nonlinear. Designers may also want to study the effect of overload conditions when the product might suffer permanent deformation.
 
SIMULIA Extended Analysis addresses this need with the introduction of two analysis products, Nonlinear Structural Analysis (ANL) and Thermal Analysis (ATH). These products are intended for designers looking to accurately size designs and quickly evaluate real world performance.
