Interactive Fitting for CATIA V5

Interactive Fitting Core for Catia™

IFC "Interactive Fitting Core for Catia" is a CAAV5-based plug-in for Catia V5TM dedicated to interactive assembly/maintenance simulation based on Haption's IPSI physics engine. Consisting in two sets of V5 commands, it appears as two new toolbars:

• IFC Core provides tools for interactive physic simulation session
• IFC Human complements IFC Core with human simulation functionalities

IFC Core lets you:

• Work with any kind of Catia data: CatPart, CGR, STP, ...
• Feel contact forces and gravity
• Record object motion as Catia tracks, load kinematic constraints from V5 mechanisms
• Control the precision down to sub-millimeter levels
• Use any kind of haptic device (Virtuose, Inca, Able), tracking system (ART, Motion Analysis, VICON, trackd), 6D USB mouse from 3Dconnexion
