Our presentation:

This work describes the power of 3DEXPERIENCE design tool CATIA to generate 3D surfaces and solid models from laser scan data and drawings for structural integrity assessment and onsite manufacturing of critical components using additive manufacturing. In industrial facilities, assessing the structural integrity of equipment with damages and flaws becomes important. Using the advancements in laser scan techniques, CATIA can be used to import point-cloud data in formats such as STL and generate a realistic surface of the equipment such as drum, tank, and pressure vessel. These surfaces can then be imported in Abaqus/CAE to perform Level 3 Fitness-for-Service (FFS). Another important issue faced by facilities is that many times equipment may fail where the production of the failed part has become obsolete. With the advent of additive manufacturing, parts can be made onsite using reverse engineering using CATIA. It will also discuss a process simulation workflow that can be used to validate the integrity of a safety-related component. This paper will show, through workflows and examples, how design and analysis tools like CATIA and Abaqus/CAE can be utilized for the above-stated scenarios. In summary, the paper will show how to: 1.)Perform FFS level 3 analysis of in-service components using laser scan data, coupled with design and FEA tools. 2.)Additively manufacture, using reverse engineering, an obsolete but critical component onsite, employing design tool.
