File Import for CATIA® v5
To provide the highest quality data translation for your CATIA®V5 files, use the File Import for CATIA® V5 add-on that is available for the CAD Import Module, Design Module, LiveLink™ for AutoCAD®, LiveLink™ for Inventor®, LiveLink™ for PTC®Creo® Parametric™, LiveLink™ for PTC® Pro/ENGINEER®, LiveLink™ for Revit®, LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®, and LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS®
To save valuable time during simulation set-up, you can use the Create Selections option for the file import to automatically configure selections based on the structure of the .CATProduct file. Using this will allow you to assign material properties to domains that automatically derive their names from the names of the components in the imported file.
