GAMBIT 2.1, due for general release in Spring 2003, includes native CATIA V4 translation provided by Spatial Corporation. Spatial, a Dassault Systemes Company, is the sole provider of true, native CATIA translators. Engineers at Valeo Engine Cooling, one of many GAMBIT 2.1 beta test sites, were very impressed with the new robust path from the CATIA V4 model file to automatic meshing. "GAMBIT has made great progress in CAD import, cleanup, and automatic meshing," says Nicolas François, research and development engineer at Valeo Engine Cooling, a major manufacturer of compact heat exchangers and cooling systems for the automotive industry. "GAMBIT 2.1 is a clear breakthrough in the path from CATIA to high-quality meshes," says Erling Eklund, GAMBIT product marketing manager at Fluent Inc. "In a typical CAD import sequence, a solid or surface model created by CATIA V4 is directly imported into GAMBIT 2.1. The fluid volume is extracted using simple Boolean operations, and straight-forward cleanup tools are used to produce the CFD domain."
Aerospace valve model imported from CATIA V4 into GAMBIT 2.1"Spatial is dedicated to constantly improving our interop translators," said Linda Lokay, executive vice president of marketing and development at Spatial Corp. "Our native CATIA technology makes our translators superior to any comparable products on the market. The results experienced by Fluent and their end users are indicative of our continuous commitment to developing products that contribute to our partners' success." more info @www.spatial.com |
