© Geometric Limited | GeomCaliper ® for CATIA V5 ®

© Geometric Limited | Topics Need of Wall Thickness Analysis Traditional way GeomCaliper Overview Benefits Features Customer Testimonials What’s New in 2.1

© Geometric Limited | Need for Wall Thickness Analysis Designers & Engineers spend significant time in various analysis tasks Wall thickness in certain class of parts governs product quality Existing tools – such as FEA – are too complex for running “quick checks” & also require expertise to use Quick Thickness check required for Manufacturability check Product Design (strength) validation Weight reduction

© Geometric Limited | Traditional Way… Take sections of the CAD model at every 5 mm along X, Y and Z axes Inspect each section for Critical Thickness Location

© Geometric Limited | GeomCaliper® for CATIA V5 ® The tool for quick & easy measurement of thickness in 3D models. Check thickness along various sections in the 3D models Strongly integrated with CATIA V5 R14, R15, R16, R17 and R18

© Geometric Limited | Benefits Quick & easy way to check design for manufacturing Savings in downstream costs due to improved part quality, as a result of early analysis and design correction Improved design productivity and quality Fits in workflow- Toolbar in CATIA V5 Locates thick and thin regions in castings

© Geometric Limited | GeomCaliper Features Quick and accurate thickness measurement tool Easy to locate critical thickness areas Advanced visualization for easy interpretation of results Dynamic thickness display at point click Compute thickness at selected regions Ability to Ignore small thickness at edges Customizable reports in XML format

© Geometric Limited | What our customers say "From the beginning of tests on GeomCaliper, we found that GeomCaliper was an efficient and high quality solution to the conception work. It is clear that GeomCaliper brings so many advantages if compared to the old way of making thickness analysis. Without GeomCaliper several sections of the model were created manually along X, Y and Z axes and then some detailed analysis were made locally. Time need for the 2D classical analysis was very important. GeomCaliper let users make semi-automatic 3D analysis on the entire model. GeomCaliper input data are exactly the same data that are produced from user, no additional pre processing is needed: GeomCaliper read directly CATIA V5 files! Other kinds of thickness analysis are available too but their utilisation in PSA is lower. GeomCaliper integration in PSA environment has been easy and low cost; its interface with CATIA V5 is good and improved at every new release."

Mario BASILE Chargé d'Affaires CAO SSC PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN "GeomCaliper has proven to be an effective and valuable tool in the campaign to keep quality up and costs down. We have integrated GeomCaliper into our design process and it has resulted in a 75% reduction in the time taken to check wall thickness of complex models. At the same time it is allowing us to discover those hidden critical areas that otherwise may have gone undetected" Scott Lanski, Design Manager Daimler Chrysler Corporation "GeomCaliper has proven to be an effective and valuable tool in the campaign to keep quality up and costs down.
