SIMULIA Analysis for Designers Solution

To access the basic nonlinear and thermal analysis capabilities included in Nonlinear Structural Analysis (ANL) and Thermal Analysis (ATH), users must first be working with Generative Part Structural Analysis (GPS), the backbone product to the CATIA V5 Analysis offering. Users who want to analyze nonlinear structural and thermal assemblies also need to be working with Generative Assembly Structural Analysis (GAS) before adding ANL and ATH.
