CAE Simuation in the Conceptual Design Stage using CATIA
Rhinoceros 3
CATIA V5
Conceptual stage models of a proposed high-rise were imported and analized using CATIA V5. The study concluded that CAE has its place in conceputal design, allowing designers to validate ideas before committing. However, CATIA's robustness prevents it from being the best tool for conceptual CAE.
