The PLM Optimization CAA V5 package works with Catia V5 to help users avoid traditional "trial-and-error" design by automating the generation of designs that meet or exceed specifications.
The software handles Catia-related packages such as Abaqus, Fluent, and LMS Virtual.Lab. It guides users towards better designs using gradient methods for quick analysis and state-of-the-art techniques where hills, valleys, and saddles are anticipated. The influence of parameter variability on simulation results is assessed and optimized with Design-for-Six-Sigma methods. Noesis Solutions, Leuven, Belgium, 32 16 38 44 95, noesissolutions.com
