CATIA V5 - HAPTION SA

Based on Haption’s physics engine IPSI^TM, IFC "Interactive Fitting for Catia" is a CAAV5 plug-in for Catia V5^TM dedicated to interactive assembly/maintenance simulation. The plugin consists in two new toolbars within Catia V5:

IFC Core provides tools to create an interactive physic scene
IFC Human complements IFC Core with manikin functionalities

Core

IFC Core:

Works with any kind of Catia data: CatPart, CGR, STP, ...
Allows to see and feel collisions
Records object motion as Catia tracks
Load kinematic constraints from V5 mechanisms
Control the precision down to sub-millimeter levels
Use any kind of Haption haptic device, tracking system (ART, Motion Analysis, VICON, XSens trackd), 6D USB mouse from 3Dconnexion

Human

IFC Human:

Transfers the geometry and kinematics of a V5 manikin into a physics manikin
Animates the V5 manikin in real-time
Computes collisions in real-time
Attaches haptic devices to the hand of the V5 manikin
Controls all segments of the V5 manikin using a full-body tracking system
Controls of the manikin's hands using data gloves
Records in real time the motion of the V5 manikin in an XML file
Replays the motion with or without collision
