C module using Abaqus for CATIA V5 (AFC) your system lifecycle management (PLM) becomes a powerful tool for non-linear structural analysis. AFC Abaqus integrates technology in GUI CATIA V5. Flexible modeling in CATIA V5 allows you to quickly make improvements in the design of products, and tighter integration with the Abaqus model gives you the opportunity to test the impact of these changes on all modes of operation of the product. As a result of this integration we obtain a perfect tool for both linear and nonlinear modeling in product design. AFC provides data in CATIA V5 and transmits them to the module Abaqus / Standard. The analysis can also be viewed in the AFC.
