CATIA V5 is mostly used to preproccessing (meshing and apply loads and restraints). MSC proposes a V5 plugin to use their solver, I believe this is the most common configuation in the industry. Only a few companies are using ELFINI (DS FEA solver) as their solver. Plus, that was before the...
Just a thought : has any of you tried to use CATIA with Webex ? I have tried a couple of occasions, performances are really bad. Does anyone know how to get acceptable performance (at least 10 fps ?)
Hello,
If you want to use R16, forget about R15. Your CATSettings will have to be recreated (there is XML dump that makes things "easier").
If you want to use R15 and R16 on the same machine, no problemo, just make sure to use different CATEnv directories, env files and a different folders for...
Hello vik,
I believe the multi-sheet is supported since R14 release, but you may verify that as I do not have this release yet.
On R13, I think it just imports all the sheets in one sheet in CATIA V5, you can then cut /paste in another sheet.
IBM / DS supports all OS and there is no specific optimization for Windows. It is true that it is developped on Windows OS but the fact that it runs better on Windows is only due to the fact that x86 machine are simply more poweful, unless you get the high-end UNIX machine, in this case you have...
Hello,
You can use STEP translator if you can afford the license. Otherwise, you can use IGES, you won't have the solids but you can recreate the solid from the surfaces.
Hope this will help

Hi everybody,
The reason why almost all the major car manufacturers (except GM of course) are moving to CATIA V5 is because they need a partner for the long run, they need a partner that is able to develop and support a product for a pretty long period of time. The quality of CATIA V5 (and all...
Hi again,
Unfortunately, the 5.2 MKL library is not supported on the V5R9, i think it will be supported with the V5R11 or something like that. Therefore yes, you HAVE to install the 5.1e library, sorry for the bad news !
Cheers
Hello,
In order to use correctly the MKL librairies with CATIA V5R9, you need to have the proper MKL librairies installed : MKL 5.1e (not available anymore at the Intel website unfortunately). Then you need to add this line in your PATH environment variable :
C:\Program Files\intel\MKL\ia32\bin...
Like I said, do not try to use the MKL 5.2E with CATIA V5R8 or CATIA V5R7 because IT WONT WORK !! I know Intel remove the MKL 5.2B from their website but if you ask IBM or INTEL, they should provide it to you.
Juliane,
I think there a capture screen option to save the visualization of the vectors.
About saving the results in a Excel file for example, I think you will have to wait for CATIA V5R9 and get the EST license which enables complex reporting.
Make sure that you have installed the Intel MKL 5.1b (the 'b' is important), I think you installed the Intel MKL 5.1e (which only be supported by CATIA V5R9)
Cheers
Mike,
Did you use the external view? You need to have an external view to mesh a surface. I think you can find it in Generative Shape Design, somewhere in 'View'...
Cheers
I guess most of FEM systems (like Cosmos, PATRAN/NASTRAN) can import IGES or STEP files. You can export IGES with CATIA V5 and import them back to perform your thermal analysis.
Good luck
Tric,
I think you can go to the Free Style Workbench, there should be a "Import Cloud" icon, then select the iges file, I did that many times and it worked for me...
Hello everybody,
Gilly, your problem is a known bug of CATIA, it was fixed
I think with CATIA V5.7 Serive Pack 4 or 5. Anyway, the way around is to disable the export panel : go to Tools/Options/Compatibility/Iges : disable the export windows. you will be able to export. However, you will still...
