CATIA V5 Knowledge Expert and Engineering Optimization (KOX)
Overview
Product designs that continue to use physical prototypes are prone to errors, delays, and increased expenditures. Companies need built-in knowledge that ensures a product’s conformity to various standards, thus saving time and expenses, and reducing errors.
CATIA – Knowledge Expert provides a powerful interactive environment to create and manage validation rules in order to ensure that product designs conform to industry, customer or company standards.
Engineering Optimization provides an interactive environment for modeling and solving complex engineering problems.
Benefits
- Product Engineering Optimizer
- Quickly investigates and finds options of the most robust designs for product lifecycle quality
- Lowers costs by using extensive virtual prototype testing
- CATIA – Knowledge Expert:
- Eliminates inaccurate designs by automating compliance with defined standards
- Eliminates costly and time consuming corrections downstream
- By helping to adhere to company standards, data exchange is easier and inter-process collaboration is facilitated
Capabilities
Product Engineering Optimizer
