Key V6R2011x ENHANCEMENT FOR CATIA SYSTEMS:

CATIA SYSTEMS
Across industries, products are getting increasingly complex, involving many more engineering disciplines, with the value shifting from the products themselves to the actual services demanding customers expect from these products. SYSTEMS ENGINEERING A collaborative system engineering methodology is critical to address these transformations. CATIA Systems uniquely captures, manages, and tracks product requirements with full traceability, ensuring that these early requirements are met accurately all along the product development cycle, from functional architecture and logical breakdown to physical design and testing. BEHAVIOR MODELING & SIMULATION With CATIA Systems, the components from multiple disciplines (such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and electricity including electronics) as well as the numerous interactions between them are modeled on a unique common platform to enable dynamic simulation of the complete system via a virtual prototype. The behavior of the product in operation is assessed while various design alternatives can be tested very early on.

Create and enjoy a stimulating learning experience with CATIA Systems Engineering available in the education portfolio Academic communities step ahead with 3D virtual modeling and simulation of complex multi-physical systems using CATIA Systems Solutions. Students usually learn how to design a complex system with a requirements analysis, a functional architecture, and a logical description of its behavior. By conducting these steps on CATIA, learning is easier as students can now experiment, debug, and validate the behavior of their system in 3D. The CATIA model of the system is not just a real time geometric animation. It actually reproduces the combined behavior of the physical product, the control software, the real time drivers input, the sensors, and the motors power. When ready, the program can be generated and the code uploaded to do tasks such as pilot a robot. Take benefit from the new Flexible Bodies Library The mechanical behavior of flexible bodies, defined as homogeneous beams, can be used within a multi-body system such as a leaf spring or a slider crank mechanism. Animated 2D diagrams give an immediate idea of dynamic behaviors

2D animated diagrams can now be displayed during the simulation of dynamic systems in the same manner as the currently available display of state logic systems. With this enhancement, system engineers can monitor system behavior at a glance. Increased productivity to model systems behavior DBM behavior models linked to 3D or knowledge properties are automatically synchronized when these characteristics are modified. This synchronization makes it possible for a systems engineer to avoid swa swapping from one editor to another to take into account the systems evolution.

interactive tool called the Batch Monitor (accessed in a CATIA session via Tools/Utility), that uses the input criteria of searching the models to be processed and the level of simplification. The outputs are a set of distilled models on the database. Provides new Rolling Offset command for the Generative Shape Design workbench With the new Rolling Offset command, you can very easily create a rolling offset curve from any given curve in one single shot, instead of having to create multiple different features to obtain the same output. Improves robustness for the Offset command within the Generative Shape Design workbench In some cases, the Offset command cannot compute the offset surface due to a local curvature defect or a pointed surface. A new option is added to improve the robustness of the Offset command, providing the ability to regularize the offset result locally instead of globally. The local regularization option improves the number of successful computations by adding some local adaptations to the offset surface. With the new option the offset result is closer to the offset theoretical result, but is also more topologically complex with additional subelements. Extends capabilities for the Patch from Curves command within the CATIA

ICEM Shape Design Center workbench The Patch from Curves command extends its ability to create a surface between curve and surface edges to include the ability to project the curve inputs onto surface supports, imposing a degree of surface continuity to the result, while allowing the user to perform internal surface smoothing. This new function optimizes user workflow and command interaction to deliver improved surface quality and feature stability. Provides Curve Parameterization adaptation for several commands within the CATIA ICEM Shape Design Center workbench During the adjustment of approximation settings of curve results that are associated to a surface, a common requirement is to impose a parameterization of the curve output result such that it is aligned and shares the same characteristics as the support surface. In response to this requirement, the Curve Conversion, Split Curve, and Intersection commands have been extended to offer a new option to adapt the parameterization of the result with the one of the input, thus enabling the user to manage output quality and improve the workflow and its re-use in downstream operations. Enables sorting of materials in the Materials palette In the Materials palette, you can now sort materials with

VPM attribute filters using materials retrieved either from the session or from a search result. Using the esult. Immersive Specification Tree in the Materials palette, VPM attribute filters can be ibute created, added, removed, activated, or deactivated. Materials can also be sorted by domains. These new filtering capabilities increase the usability of the Materials palette.

MANUFACTURING PREPARATION Advanced process-driven functionalities, such as the automatic definition of complex drafts and fillets to optimize foundry and forge tooling design of forged and complex cast parts, ensure that manufacturing intent is captured in the early stages of design to avoid manual, lengthy operations, as well as improve manufacturability and productivity.
Key V6R2011x ENHANCEMENTS FOR CATIA MECHANICAL:

Manages mass and inertia declaration, computation, and analysis Using Weight, Center of Gravity, an assembly can be inspected from weight and inertia aspects. Weight and inertia management is provided everywhere in CATIA for any product or sub-product. When getting a part from a sub-contractor, users can associate a declared weight for the part in the navigation window. Weight can also be computed according to material or applicative specifications. For instance, changes such as adding a covering on wires or routing different electrical elements are taken into account when updating the weight and center of gravity of an electrical harness. A Distribution tool ensures the inspection of the parts of an assembly from the heaviest to the lightest. Color coding helps to review the weight and to focus on the relevant sub-assemblies if the overall weight must decrease. The dynamic inertia computation can be part of a compliancy process, as weight is one of the most important impacts on a design from the preliminary design stage all the way to manufacturing. Integrates two new fastening workbenches for fastening design and fastening review processes with V6 PLM. Because fasteners can be managed in large amounts in the product structure (an industrial designer working on an airplane generally opens more than 3000 instances in a session),

Offers live edition of constraints in Assembly workbench The Assembly workbench now provides faster assembly constraint definition. You can modify every constraint attribute (value, mode, orientation, activation, options, and reroute) in a very natural way by dragging manipulator arrows, selecting icons, or entering values. Constraint edition is immersed in 3D and is more productive because of the ability to directly manipulate in the assembly context.

emphasis has been placed on improving productivity. The Fastening workbench addresses industries industries fastening processes.

commands ensure steady management of configured products resulting in an improved design to manufacturing process. Design enhancements can be taken into account without spending time on numerous updates, and collaboration is facilitated as users benefit fully from the V6 PLM platform, improving the overall design process. Integrates Validation and Interference Simulation This enhancement strengthens collaboration between analysts and integrators or mechanical engineers. When an analyst identifies interferences, a mechanical engineer often needs to check whether they impact a particular design possibly to propose design enhancements. With live validation commands, engineers can create a validation directly from an interference simulation, providing validation capabilities (slides, review, and measures) within the same editor as the simulation. Consequently, slides can benefit from the interference view customization (view point, parts colors, context transparency, interference geometry, and ambience) and remain associative with interferences. Integrators can also take advantage of the completeness of the validation capabilities to present modification needs to multi-discipline actors in decision meetings. Enhances Mold Tooling and Tooling workbenches

In the Mold Tooling workbench, you can insert gates to fill the mold cavity, easily creating an efficient plastic flow circuit. Similarly, the definition of the coolant channel benefits from very ergonomic tools. The accuracy of these operations minimizes the warping and sharpening of parts molded by plastic injection. For example, it is more productive to create main standard plastic mold bases from a supplier. The Tooling design workbench is also more productive. The manipulation robot ensures accurate component positioning and tooling impacts are more automated through one-shot computation and colored displays. Completes the assembly constraints offer with the screw joint Building assemblies is even easier with the screw engineering connection. This connection can be composed of a cylindrical coincidence, a controlled offset, a controlled hinge, ora coupling between the offset and the hinge. Provides a very affordable direct modeler, Bend Part Design A sheetmetal part can now be designed simply by pushing and pulling faces, yet consistency in the edition of contextual behaviors like bend, corner, and chamfer is maintained in spite of any geometry change that impacts them. Increases productivity greatly in the traditional Sheetmetal workbench

Productivity is increased when creating a sheetmetal feature using a free form surface because it is now possible to connect a free form surface feature with a an existing sheet metal feature in order to combine two different design processes. It is even possible to manage ssible complex boundaries since a double curvature edge is allowed. Supports two new drafting norms: ASME Y14.5 2009 and ISO 2692:2006 Designers are provided with new attributes, dimensioning, and tolerancing symbols olerancing symbols. These norms are available in Interactive Drafting, Funtional Tolerancing and Annotations , and the 2D Layout for 3D Design workbench.
