The user gets the ability to work with meshed surfaces and volumes (Tessellation, Multi-slice commands, etc…), and the capability to easily edit the meshes. He may create and manage Z-Level curves. The building implantation analysis benefits from dedicated improvements. The manipulation performances have been greatly enhanced.

CATIA V5R19 provides with the Intersection Edge Fillet to improve the update stability during design changes:

Part Design increases the user daily productivity: the Intersection Edge Fillet.

This functionality helps the user to create fillets with the appropriate definition,which is a definition by the intersection of several features, beyond the intersection of faces. As a consequence, it improves the update stability during design changes. Moreover, it facilitates the capture and the reuse of the part design features. For example, user can define a power copy including a set of features and a fillet defined at a feature intersection level. When this power copy feature is re-instantiated in another context, the fillet is correctly updated as it does not depend on the intersection of the selected faces but on the intersection of the features.

CATIA V5R19 improves productivity by an easier definition and a better stability of the Blend Corner:

The Blend Corner capability and stability improve. This helps extend its usage for fillet definition (getting rid of small edges selection) and prevent the redefinition of former blend corners when modifying an Edge Fillet. Its user interface has been

enhanced (creation by selection of edges or vertices, edition of the value, remove) to improve productivity.

CATIA V5R19 allows user to define the Gage Taper Hole main diameter using the selected face as the reference

The user interface of the Gage Taper Hole has been improved: a new computation mode enables user to compute the tapered hole by using the selected face as the reference for the main diameter.

CATIA V5R19 for Analysis now allows frictional effects to be included in contact analyses, allowing these types of products to be simulated, as well as making it easier to analyze models that are under constrained if friction is not included. The technology and methods used are the same as those used in SIMULIA’s Abaqus product, so they have been proven over many years of production use.

Breakthrough technologies, Your innovation starts with ours

CATIA V5R19 improves and accelerates the part and tooling design review process for manufacturability with the Wall Thickness Analysis for Cast & Forge

After having delivered the Automatic Fillet and the Automatic Draft for the Cast & Forged Optimizer (CFO) product, DS keeps on delivering CFO add-ons with CFO Wall Thickness Analysis. This new capability improves and accelerates the part

and tooling design review process for manufacturability, not only in casting et Forging processes but also in Injection Molding processes for Plastic Part Design. It allows analyzing the part thickness either by projecting a ray from the selected point inside the part and normally to its surface, or by rolling a sphere of

a maximal diameter inside the part. Moreover, these tools are coupled with a

dynamic sectioning view and a transparent mode display, allowing a detailed and accurate analysis. As a result, it provides with a very quick identification of thin or thick critical areas.

CATIA V5R19 enables automatic filleting in Shape Design. Automatic filleting represents a significant process improvement, especially in the design for the plastic part, mold part.

Previously, the process of filleting sharp edges to conform to existing features was a repetitive and very time-consuming phase of the shape design process. This new capability can automatically fillet the sharp edges of a shape in a single operation. Automatic filleting is particularly helpful for fillet manufacturing preparation.

CATIA V5R19 delivers Fast Surfaces creation from Curves in Imagine and Shape. Two new primitive commands have been added through intuitive and productive interface with no additional geometry creation. The extruded profile command enables the designer to draw directly the profile from the extrude command. The modification of the profile can be made dynamically within the extrude command. Another command is provided to revolve the profile around an axis definition.

CATIA V5R19 brings advanced effects in rendering like soft shadows from multiple light sources. Shadows have been made more realistic with the addition of multiple light sources. The user has now the ability to compute and to store light maps off-line. He may then load them so that a scene can be rendered in real time without waiting on calculations to be made.

When used to simulate design performance, CATIA V5R19 for Analysis features improved meshing in thin sections. Many parts have thin sections, and it is desirable that the finite element mesh has at least two elements through the thickness to ensure accurate simulation results, which often required manual intervention. In V5R19, a single mouse click ensures that an accurate mesh is obtained in these situations, resulting in saved time and improved accuracy of the analysis.

CATIA V5R19 for Analysis has enhanced quadrilateral shell meshing for more precise design simulation results. The mesh is better aligned with the primary geometric directions, resulting in an improved mesh and more accurate results.
