SAMTECH offers to SAMCEF users numerous facilities for the modeling, the Linear and Non-Linear analysis and the post-processing from CATIA V5
Liege, Belgium – November 4, 2003. SAMTECH s.a., the leading European Company for the development of Integrated CAE Solutions, announces the launch of SAMCEF Gateway, offering to
SAMCEF users numerous facilities for the modeling, the Linear and Non-Linear analysis and the post-processing from CATIA V5.
SAMCEF Gateway allows SAMCEF users to export SAMCEF data either from a CATIA V5 analysis document or from SAMTECH Transparent Extended Analysis products (TEA Mecano & TEA
Thermal) based on CATIA V5. SAMCEF Gateway gives a basic access to linear static, modal, nonlinear structures and stationary thermal analyses of SAMCEF. SAMCEF Gateway also allows to
import SAMCEF results for post-processing in CATIA V5.
Using SAMCEF Gateway, CATIA V5 users are able to quickly produce linear, non-linear, mechanical and thermal models by adding specific features to an existing model built within their environment. SAMCEF Gateway speeds up the design work thanks to the use of a single user
interface for the geometry definition, the analysis data definition, the meshing, the translation into SAMCEF files and the post-processing. SAMCEF Gateway provides users with extended solving capabilities, in a fully associative environment. With SAMCEF Gateway, SAMTECH answers to customer needs from medium and large industries wishing using SAMCEF embedded in CATIA V5 in order to eliminate the expensive iterations during design process.
Solution Sets:
- The linear static analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF Asef basic access;
- The modal analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF Dynam basic access;
- In the non-linear structures analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway, a Newton-Raphson procedure is used to solve the mechanical equilibrium equations with the multi-frontal solver of SAMCEF Mecano. The solver strategy selection is automatically performed. You can use the very robust contact algorithms of SAMCEF Mecano allowing large relative displacements and rotations;
- In the steady state thermal analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway, a Newton-Raphson procedure is used to solve thermal equilibrium equations with the multi-frontal solver of SAMCEF Thermal. The solver strategy selection is automatically performed.
“SNECMA DMS, who is both SAMCEF and CATIA V5 user, is interested in having access to the capability of generating SAMCEF data files from CATIA V5 and recovering SAMCEF results for post-processing in CATIA V5. SAMCEF Gateway gives the basic functionalities on which future advanced customized solutions can be based”, said Patrick Danous, Chief Mechanical Engineer – Justification and CAD, SNECMA DMS.
“Developed in close partnership with Dassault Systemes, SAMCEF Gateway CAAV5 Based offers a seamless integration of the SAMCEF simulation chain from the CATIA V5 environment,” said Severin Lanfranchi, R&D Director CATIA Simulation, Dassault Systemes. “SAMCEF Gateway CAAV5 Based extends the CATIA V5 applications portfolio with a reliable and robust solution that will enable SAMCEF users to develop better quality products within less time.”
