LMS Virtual.Lab Designer Interfaces and Drivers includes intelligent interfaces and drivers to Nastran or ANSYS. The offered solutions enable users to import mesh parts along with their load and restraint information and analysis setup. Meshed geometries can also be exported to any preferred solver format, including the analysis setup applied. LMS Virtual.Lab Designer - Interface and Driver also offers the capability to intuitively define and automatically drive solvers from within the CATIA environment, without requiring expert users to set-up and execute specific ANSYS or Nastran jobs. This makes it possible to define loads and restraints directly on the geometry or mesh, or to reuse loads and restraints that are already defined.
