CPD-to-ESI software module

CPD-to-ESI is an addition to CATIA CPD (Composites Part Design) workbench. It is a command tool developed by ESI Group, which is available directly in the CPD workbench through a dedicated icon in the toolbars.

This command tool allows you to transfer information seamlessly from CATIA CPD model to PAM-COMPOSITES.

This plug-in will generate an “xml” file that you can then import into PAM-COMPOSITES.

This import will retrieve from CATIA CPD:

• the geometry of each ply
• the stacking sequence
• the rosettes
• the defined thicknesses and ply orientations

The CPD-to-ESI plug-in saves you time during simulation modeling by retrieving information already available in the CATIA model.
