Catia: multibody calculation and GPS

Hello

Is it possible to do a calculation under GPS with a multi-body part without going through assembly with a Boolean operation?

Thank you

Have a nice day

Hello, this would be a workaround to purchase the GAS (Generative assembly structural analysis) license, the simulation module for assemblies.

Yes and no, it all depends on what you want to calculate. For example, I know a lot of people who design mechanically welded assemblies under catia using multibodies. This allows you to have a correct representation in the 2D without having to go through an assembly. 

By the way, that's precisely the purpose of the maneuver, I want to do the calculation under a mechanically welded assembly. So it's true I'm not going to be able to put a soldered connector between the bodies but for pre-sizing it's acceptable.

 

 

Hello

GPS only takes the contents of the Main Body by default, so you just have to reserve the Main Body for the calculation by assembling copies with links of your different Bodies
