SAMCEF Gateway

SAMCEF Gateway enables SAMCEF users to export SAMCEF data from a CATIA V5 analysis document. It gives access to all SAMCEF solvers directly from dialog boxes linked to the CATIA GPS environment. Extra dialog boxes for features specific to SAMCEF are available. Missing features can be input via a text file that is automatically added at the end of the file produced by SAMCEF Gateway.

Solution Sets:

• The linear static analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF Asef analysis model
• The modal analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF Dynam analysis model
• The non-linear structures analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF Non-Linear model where you have access to most of the powerful features of SAMCEF Non-Linear: large displacements, rotations and deformations, contact algorithms, time integration schemes... Solver strategy is automatically selected to make SAMCEF Non-Linear use easy for designers with less experience in Finite Elements computations 
• The thermal analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces steady state SAMCEF Thermal models. Solver strategy is also automatically selected

Features & Benefits

SAMCEF Gateway offers you the following advantages:

• No need to learn another Graphical User Interface if you are a CATIA user.
• Easily reuse and enhance the models built in the CATIA CAE environment.
• Have access to best of class Finite Elements solvers from your favorite CAD environment.
• Designers with little knowledge of CAE can easily check the mechanical relevance of their work themselves. 
• Gain time by reducing communication with stress engineers before they are really needed.
