This guide covers the fundamentals of the Generative Structural Analysis (GSA) workbench in CATIA. It provides you with the knowledge to effectively use CATIA for structural finite element analysis and simulation, thereby reducing design time. This is an extensive hands-on learning guide, in which you have the opportunity to apply your knowledge through real-world scenarios and examples.
Topics Covered:
• FEA fundamentals
• Basic modeling and analysis
• Types of loads and restraints
• Mesh refinement and adaptivity
• Virtual parts
• Assembly modeling and analysis
• Contact analysis
• Simulation of fastened assemblies
• Shell idealizations
• Frequency analysis
Prerequisites:
• Access to the CATIA V5-6R2022 software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions.
• CATIA V5-6: Introduction to Modeling or equivalent CATIA experience. Some FEA knowledge is beneficial, but not a strict requirement.
