CATIA FEA module - assemblies smart meshing

[dlauria]

Hello everybody,

I'm learning to use the Structural analysis module in CATIA V5. Specifically, when I have a CATProduct to mesh, I have to specify for every components, connections and contacts by clicking on the constraints already put by the assembly design module. Is there a way to make CATIA recognize automatically all the connections between components?
I was used with SolidWorks to specify a "global contact" feature so that all the surfaces in contact were meshed together and I'd like to have something like this in CATIA since you should be able to do the "mating" job just once and not repeat it while meshing.

Thanks
Bye
