CPA – Thermal Assessment

The CPA-TA (Composites Producibility Assessment – Thermal Assessment) plug-in to CATIA is used to identify locations where your part may have thermal issues during manufacture. It is integrated into the CATIA Composites Workbench and is intended to be used by designers to minimize avoidable redesign during the part design process. CPA-TA is a simple application that allows designers to quickly and effectively evaluate the thermal stability of the part during manufacture, without needing to have the M&P background knowledge to validate the part. The CPA-TA workflow reduces defects, unneccessary re-work, and other associated issues that occur downstream in production.
