Exploring simulation results along with design variants in CATIA Product Perception Experience (PPX)

Starting with R2022x, simulation experts and designers can review a design project and make accurate decisions together, based not only on geometry or material variants, but also on simulation result variations.

Product Perception Experience is a CATIA app providing out of the box features to create different kinds of variants (products/parts, materials, ambiences, human avatars…), mix them in stages, and validate them during design project presentations or review sessions. All on desktop, touch and VR devices.

In R2022x we introduce the support of physics simulation results as a new type of variant. Here is the official R2022x What’s New video:

CATIA Product Perception Experience R2022x - What's New

NB: At the beginning of the video we also see the result of kinematics simulations being played. This is available since R2021x.

Whether you are a simulation expert looking for a simple tool to explore simulation results, a designer or mechanical engineer wanting to review a design along with any relevant simulation results available, you might enjoy discovering what CATIA Product Perception Experience (aka. "PPX") is capable of.

To get started with CATIA Product Perception Experience

  • Get the role Product Design Presenter (PDP)
  • Have a look at the tutorial series in this wiki page on the CATIA Creative Design & Styling community (or the same videos in this youtube playlist) – the simulation result variants are yet to be covered by a tutorial...
  • And the User Assistance guide as usual
