File Import for CATIA® V5

COMSOL has the best multiphysical simulation capabilities in my experience. Technical support from Elisa at TECHNIC as well as the engineers at COMSOL has been great.

Dr Gyani Shankar Sharma, UNSW Sydney

COMSOL is an important part of our research in plasma physics. We use it in the design of plasma systems and it helps us to obtain a greater understanding of the underlying physics. We have always valued the quick support from TECHNIC and COMSOL and it has been a pleasure to work with them.

Associate Professor Cormac Corr, Department of Materials Physics, Australian National University.

Comsol has become a valuable part of our design and decision making process. The exceptional flexibility and access to the physics and solvers in Comsol has allowed us to have deeper understanding on thermomechanical solutions. Technic and Comsol have always been quick and helpful to resolve any issues and provide helpful advice on their products.

Ryan Barron, Rakon Ltd

At Scion we use COMSOL Multiphysics to understand energy processes, such as the interplay of non-linear solid mechanics and heat & mass transfer during biomass compaction, to design new or more efficient processes.

Muthasim Fahmy, Scion Engineering

We use COMSOL Multiphysics to design the customised muffler. With it, we can simulate the insertion loss at different spectrum with different muffler designs.

Bring Together CAD Design and Simulation

To provide the highest quality data translation for your CATIA^® V5 files, use the File Import for CATIA^® V5 add-on that is available for the CAD Import Module, Design Module, LiveLink™ for AutoCAD^®, LiveLink™ for Inventor^®, LiveLink™ for PTC^® Creo^® Parametric™, LiveLink™ for PTC^® Pro/ENGINEER^®, LiveLink™ for Revit^®, LiveLink™ for Solid Edge^®, and LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS^®

To save valuable time during simulation set-up, you can use the Create Selections option for the file import to automatically configure selections based on the structure of the .CATProduct file. Using this will allow you to assign material properties to domains that automatically derive their names from the names of the components in the imported file.
