If the CATIA V5 model includes publications of faces, edges, or vertices, you can export these publications to the Abaqus model as set definitions. If necessary, change the default number in the Port field so that it matches the port number displayed by Abaqus/CAE when you enabled the CAD interface.Ĭ.

Use automatic associative import to transfer the model directly to Abaqus/CAEī. Select Open Abaqus/CAE as the export Method (see Figure Below). From the Export to Abaqus/CAE dialog box that appears, specify the following information:Ī. Load the model to be exported, and select Abaqus->Export to Abaqus/CAE from the CATIA V5Ħ. Abaqus appears in the CATIA V5 main menu bar.ĥ. Start CATIA V5 using the Windows desktop shortcut or the Start menu shortcut that was created during the installation of the CATIA V5 Associative Interface plug-in. (If desired, you can click Specify port and enter the port number.)Ĥ. Abaqus/CAE displays the port number that it assigned in the message area. From the CATIA V5 dialog box that appears, choose Auto-assign port and click Enable. From the main menu bar, select Tools->CAD Interfaces->CATIA V5.ģ. Start Abaqus/CAE, and enter the Assembly module.Ģ. You can use automatic associative import to export an assembly from CATIA V5 to Abaqus/CAE.ġ. Importing a part or assembly from CATIA V5 to Abaqus/CAE Use either shortcut to start a full version of CATIA V5 that includes the CATIA V5 Associative Interface plug-in and, if it is installed on your system, Abaqus for CATIA V5. The installation process creates a Windows desktop shortcut and a Start menu shortcut for the CATIA V5 Associative Interface. The plug-in does not need to be installed in the same directory as CATIA V5.Ĥ.

The installation procedure automatically detects all of the appropriate CATIA V5 service packs that are installed on your system.

The CATIA V5 service pack on which the plug-in will be installed.

You must provide the following information: Follow the prompts in the installation process. Run the CATIA V5 Associative Interface installation executable.ģ. Obtain the CATIA V5 Associative Interface installation file from the assembly media (see the SIMULIA Installation Guide for more information).Ģ. If you are installing the CATIA V5 Associative Interface on an operating system that uses User Access Control (UAC), such as Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must turn off UAC or select the least secure setting.ġ. CATIA V5 must be installed and licensed on your system before installing the plug-in. You need administrative privileges to install the plug-in. The following procedure describes how to install the CATIA V5 Associative Interface plug-in on Windows systems. Installing the CATIA Associative Interface add-in
