SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE

The SIMULIA Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE allows you to import the geometry of a CATIA model into Abaqus/CAE. You can later modify the geometry in CATIA and propagate these modifications to Abaqus/CAE without losing any features that you define in Abaqus/CAE. Analysts and designers can use this capability while iterating on a design.
