Introduction to FEM in CATIA

Finite Element Method (FEM) in CATIA is a powerful tool for simulating and
analyzing the structural behavior of components under various conditions. It
allows engineers to evaluate stresses, deformations, and overall stability,
ensuring optimal performance and safety of designs. Static analysis is one of
the key FEM capabilities, used to determine the response of a structure
under steady-state loading conditions.

Steps for Applying Static Analysis in CATIA

1. Open the Part or Assembly: Load the 3D model you want to analyze.

2. Switch to Generative Structural Analysis Workbench: Navigate to the


appropriate workbench in CATIA.

3. Define Material Properties: Assign the correct material properties to the


model.

4. Create a Mesh: Generate a finite element mesh for the geometry.

5. Apply Boundary Conditions: Define constraints (e.g., fixed supports) and


loads (e.g., forces or pressures).
6. Run the Analysis: Solve the static analysis to compute results.

7. Review Results: Analyze the output, such as stress distribution,


deformation, and safety factors.

8. Optimize Design: Refine the model as needed based on the analysis


results.
