The SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE

The SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE exports the geometry, the part and assembly parameters, and the part-level publications in a model into Abaqus/CAE and then propagates the new dimensions back to the 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Modeling apps.

The SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE consists of the following components:

  • The CATIA Associative Interface. The CATIA Associative Interface saves a CATIA part or a product as an assembly file. You must have the Abaqus/CAE installed to run the CATIA Associative Interface.
  • The Abaqus/CAE CAD Connection toolset. The CAD Connection toolset imports the product or assembly file that is generated by the CATIA Associative Interface into Abaqus/CAE. The CAD Connection toolset is enabled with a SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE license, which is available as an add-on product from your local sales office.
