Based on Haption’s physics engine IPSITM, IFC "Interactive Fitting for Catia" is a CAAV5 plug-in for Catia V5TM 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
