PLM解决方案证明其在产品设计流程中的优势,同时还提供了一项主要的功能,就是将CAD和CAE紧密结合,更有效地对设计进行改进。LMS Virtual.Lab Structures可以和CATIA V5无缝集成,扩展并完善CATIA V5 CAE软件的功能,为有限元分析前后处理提供完整的集成环境。这些功能可以让设计和工程部门在同一环境中对部件和总成的结构特性和性能进行分析,同时还能与初始的CAD模型保持紧密的联系。使用这种工具可以避免耗时和容易出错的文件转换和数据转化过程,从而提高了工程效率、改进了分析结果的质量和一致性、加速重复性工程的进程。
同一环境中的完整流程
达索公司(Dassault Systeme)的CATIA V5可以提供基于ELFINI求解器的完整的有限元分析解决方案,进行基本的实体和表面零件的网格创建,还能提供先进的解决方案,进行复杂的实体和表面网格创建。LMS Virtual.Lab Structures扩展并完善了CATIA V5的CAE功能,增加了很多前后处理分析,并为工业标准的求解器(如MSC.Nastran、NX Nastran、Ansys和Abaqus)提供了集成的驱动软件。LMS Virtual.Lab Structures将不同的流程步骤和仿真工具相结合,否则的话,这些仿真工具只能独立运行,得出互不相联的结果。这种结合避免了重复创建模型和网格,同时也不需要进行文件转换、数据转化,以及查看应用结果。
集成的Virtual.Lab解决方案非常灵活,可以进行基于几何结构的分析,或者进行基于网格的分析。第一种分析方法能够让用户在初始CAD结构的基础上进行不同方案的设计,并从结合的仿真流程中获益。基于网格的分析方法可以让用户直接修改现有网格和有限元模型,同时还能在修改初始CAD设计前灵活地分析设计方案。
尽管LMS Virtual.Lab Structures与CATIA V5无缝集成,但是它仍然可以作为独立的解决方案,而不需要在用户的计算机上安装CATIA V5软件。另一方面,LMS Virtual.Lab Designer Structures作为附加部分完全集成于CATIA V5有限元分析解决方案,提供有限元前后处理功能和在CATIA V5环境中连接工业标准求解器的驱动软件。
