CATIA V5 FEA Release 21 - 2nd Edition: A Step by Step Guide with Practical Applications (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788994960357)

This textbook explains how to perform Finite Element Analysis using the Generative
Structural Analysis workbench in CATIA V5. CATIA is a three dimensional CAD/CAM/
CAE software developed by Dassault Systèms, France. This textbook is based on CATIA
V5 Release 24. Users of earlier releases can use this book with minor modifications.
It is assumed that readers of this textbook are familiar with creating parts and assemblies
in CATIA V5. However, any persons not familiar with CATIA V5 modeling and assembly
but interested in FEA can learn through the step by step processes laid out in this
textbook, such as naming a part file, creating a 3D model for analysis or defining an FE
model. Each process is accompanied by illustrations.
Each chapter deals with a major topic in FEA and proceeds with an analysis procedure
using CATIA V5 Structural Analysis. At the end of each chapter the author explains the
meaning of the results and recommends additional topics to be considered.
Engineers and mechanical engineering students are highly recommended to read this textbook
to increase their knowledge of FEA by using CATIA V5 Generative Structural
Analysis.
