Abaqus for CATIA V5 brings Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) technology
into the CATIA V5 user environment. CATIA V5 provides the powerful and
flexible design capabilities, and Abaqus for CATIA V5 makes the design model
and the simulation model one and the same. The result is a complete package

for deploying proven FEA-based simulation throughout the design process.
Automatic contact detection greatly simplifies the way users define and
manage interactions. The wizard-based approach quickly steps the user through
detection options. When the user hits Run, AFC automatically detects all of
the likely contact pairs in the model. There are also several options
available to help the user verify, merge, edit, and delete detected pairs.
