SAMCEF
G AT E W AY

AMCEF Gateway allows SAMCEF users to export SAMCEF data from a CATIA V5 analysis document.
SAMCEF Gateway gives access to linear static, modal, non-linear structural and thermal analyses of
SAMCEF. The post-processing of SAMCEF results is also driven by SAMCEF Gateway for all problems that
have been defined within CATIA V5.

THERMAL LOADS

MODELING ENVIRONMENT

Imposed point flux

SAMCEF Gateway is perfectly embedded in CATIA V5

for the modeling, the linear, non-linear structural and
thermal analysis and the post-processing of structures.

The simplest thermal load is a point flux that can be defined on a selection
of points.

Imposed distributed flux

Your Benefits: Avoid expensive

re-design, reduce design cycles

It is possible to apply a distributed flux over a surface.

Convection coefficient and fluid temperature

With SAMCEF Gateway, CATIA V5 users are able to quickly produce linear,
non-linear, mechanical and thermal models by adding specific features to an
existing model built within their environment.

Convection coefficient and fluid temperature can be defined on each

faces of volumic parts.

Interface conditions

SAMCEF Gateway speeds up the design work thanks to the use of a single user
interface for the geometry definition, the analysis data definition, the meshing,
the translation into SAMCEF files and the post-processing.

SAMCEF Gateway provides users with extended solving capabilities, in a fully

associative environment.

One can merge heterogeneous models by using thermal gluing with heat
transfer at the interface.

Temperature bounds
Optional lower and upper bounds can be used to constraint the
temperatures at some locations.

Mutual radiation
With SAMCEF Gateway, SAMTECH
answers customer needs from medium
and large industries using SAMCEF
embedded in CATIA V5 in order to eliminate the expensive iterations during
design process.

Boundary conditions

Different restraints can be imposed to fix all the degrees of freedom on

a geometry selection (clamps), to fix some degrees of freedom along the
normal of a surface (surface slider), to fix any combination of degrees of
freedom (advanced restraint) or to generate statically determinate supports on a part (isostatic restraint).

Whateveryour
industrialsector
With SAMCEF Gateway, SAMTECH targets design activities of SAMCEF customers from the whole mechanical industry (aeronautical, space, defense, ship
building, energy, car, trucks, railway, sport industries), using CATIA V5 as
CAD and Finite Elements Analysis platform.

Enforced displacement

Advanced F.E. Analysis capabilities

The domains addressed by SAMCEF Gateway are the following:

Joints
All native CATIA V5 connections and virtual parts are exported (contact
conditions, welded joint, tightening joint, stick parts, pressure fitting)

Non-linear structural analysis;

Translational and rotational displacements can be prescribed by the user.

Imposed temperatures
Temperatures can be imposed on CAD faces of volumic parts (from a
previous computation also).

Mechanical LOADS

Thermal analysis;
Stability;

Distributed Force or Moment

Dynamic response.

Solution Sets
The linear static analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces
a SAMCEF Asef access;
The modal analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway produces a SAMCEF
Dynam access;
In the non-linear structural analysis solution set of SAMCEF Gateway,
a Newton-Raphson procedure is used to solve the mechanical equilibrium
equations with the multi-frontal solver of SAMCEF Mecano. The solver
strategy selection is automatically performed. You can use the very robust
contact algorithms of SAMCEF Mecano allowing large relative displacements and rotations;
In the steady state and transient thermal analysis solution set of SAMCEF
Gateway, a Newton-Raphson procedure is used to solve thermal equilibrium equations with the multi-frontal solver of SAMCEF Thermal. The
solver strategy selection is automatically performed;
The dynamic response solution set aims to calculate dynamic response of
linear elastic structure. It performs both time and frequency responses.

The analysis of complex structures entails the preprocessing of a huge amount of data and the
post-processing of stresses or temperature fields for example. SAMCEF
Gateway benefits from advanced visualization tools of CATIA V5,
allowing very efficient and straightforward pre- and post-processing
of the above-mentioned analyses.

the Users Guide and Help
manual are available on the
