 | CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 2 (GPS) integrates advanced pre-processing, solving and post-processing capabilities. Designers can perform associative part stress and vibration analysis including contact analysis for the assessment of part mechanical behavior. Structural analysis can be performed on volume parts, surface parts and wireframe geometries. Designers get a transparent and automated approach to part stress analysis and modal frequencies analysis in a very intuitive environment. CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 2 (GPS) supports local refinement of stress computations with adaptive techniques. This is the core application of the CATIA Analysis product line and the entry point to a scalable and integrated set of tools including advanced options for specialists.

- No boundary between design and analysis
CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 2 (GPS) is an easy-to-use tool tailored to designers and design engineers. As a result of the native CAD/CAE integration, you can easily perform stress and displacement analysis of designs, using a consistent user interface, at any time in the design process. Structural analysis can be performed on solid, surface or wireframe geometries. The association of analysis specifications, such as loads and restraints, with the design ensures quick and consistent work. Size and validate your designs early in the development cycle, saving time and improving quality.
- Straightforward definitions and simplifications
Through a simple selection of geometric features, designers can define how a part is restrained and loaded. These specifications are then automatically incorporated into the Finite Element Model (FEM), so you avoid working with complex Finite Element Model definitions. You can fix the analyzed portion on a virtual part, and with this technological feature, transmit a fastening, a force, or a momentum in various modes such as rigid or smooth.
- Extended vibration analysis
CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 2 (GPS) can simulate the effects of modal vibration. Designers can define additional masses, such as point masses, linear mass density, and surface mass density. You can choose the number of vibration modes to be computed and animate the results.
- Direct and dynamic results review
CATIA Generative Part Structural Analysis 2 (GPS) helps designers understand the results of an analysis by graphically displaying areas of high stress and displacement. Detailed analyses on complex parts can be handled in an intuitive and interactive manner. This includes dynamic cross-sectional displays of contours. Values such as Von Mises stress criteria, displacement, and principal stresses are mapped onto the deformed 3D part.
- Controlled accuracy
You have the ability to create, modify and remove the FEM's elements and their properties, which are automatically generated. Control the size of the mesh on the entire part, or on a specific area. You can also employ linear or parabolic elements based on the required precision.
- High performance
Use the latest version of the sparse solver tool to minimize the amount of consumed memory and, therefore, perform large analyses quickly.
- Productive analysis through easy and fast computation on large models
Launch simultaneous computations on different processes easily, without having to go through complex Microsoft® Visual Basic macro definitions. Simultaneously perform large model computations while continuing to work on other processes, greatly increasing your productivity.
- Report generation
Automatically generate reports in HTML format. These reports provide clear and detailed information about the results of the analysis, including images associated with computations. This information is already structured for direct distribution and prompt interpretation for appropriate diagnosis by all readers. In addition, you can save time by re-using previously generated results for further analysis.
- Knowledge-based technology
Capture the knowledge associated with your design analysis and perform optimization. The generative analysis specifications are recognized as knowledge parameters called sensors, providing measures that can be re-used. This allows you to set rules, checks, and formulas to use best practices and ensure compliance to corporate standards.
- Integration within ENOVIA Virtual Product Modeling (VPM), ENOVIA Life Cycle Applications (LCA) and SMARTEAM
GPS provides the capability to store the historical files related to the analysis perform at the various stages of the product development cycle.
