Generating the Design Space
Generating the design space is the first step in setting up a HyperShape/CATIA simulation. The full CAD modeling and GPS functionality of CATIA V5 is available to define design areas, directly apply loads and boundary conditions. The same model is used both to perform an analysis using the CATIA analysis workbench and to perform an optimization using HyperShape/CATIA.
Definition of the Optimization Problem
With HyperShape/CATIA, an intuitive menu system efficiently guides users through the problem setup: definition of design objectives, manufacturing constraints and job submission to OptiStruct in the CATIA V5 environment.
Design Interpretation
After the optimization run OptiStruct’s design proposals can be visualized using GPS. These design proposals are automatically imported as a new part in CATIA V5 and are used as the basis for the new design.
Used in Real World Applications
Numerous companies from a variety of industries are successfully using the technology behind HyperShape/CATIA to bring better products to market in a shorter amount of time.

HyperShape/CATIA is delivered separately from the HyperWorks suite. It is available in two different licensing options:
HyperShape/CATIA – Self-contained with OptiStruct included
HyperShape/CATIA Interface – Requires separate OptiStruct 8.0 or higher installation
CATIA V5 Prerequisites
CATIA or CATIA PLM Express V5 R16, R17, R18 or R19 with any package including GPS
CATIA V5 Useful Additions
EST (multi-load cases, group feature, better post-processing)
