CATIA - Functional Molded PartsLeverage functional modeling approach to parts and mold toolingdefinitions.
Product overview
CATIA - Functional Molded Parts 2 (FMP) is a
new generation product for designing cast,
molded and forged parts and related tooling
with unmatched productivity and flexibility. Its
history-free functional design approach for
defining the complete functional specification
for both parts and their associated tooling
makes FMP a breakthrough product for
reducing the design-to-manufacturing cycle.
Building on the foundation of functional part
definition, it accelerates the time-to-market by
intelligently understanding the geometrical
and tooling definition from a designer's
functional concept. By taking advantage of
the unique CATIA V5 geometrical modeler
and the process coverage of complementary
CATIA products, companies can realize
significant efficiency savings. Freeing the
designer from the constraints of
history-based design, the order in which
features are created has no impact on the
design itself.
Product Highlights
Enables designers to concentrate on
what they want to model and not how to
model it
Gives molded part designer flexibility and
productivity thanks to functional modeling
approach
Provides a collection of process-specific
functional features dedicated to
design both the product and associated
tooling for molded and plastic parts
Provides a design to manufacturing
process coverage due to integration with
CATIA V5 applications
Provides significant productivity gains as
well as all the benefits of being fully
in the CATIA V5 product design solution
Demonstrates the power and the flexibility
of the V5 architecture
Product Key Customers Benefits
Provides a collection of industry-specific
functional features... CATIA - Functional
Molded Parts 2 (FMP) is focused on providing
a flexible and productive 3D modeling
package dedicated to the design of molded
and plastic parts. This advanced application
provides concurrent design both the product
and associated tooling for molded and plastic
parts : access to a collection of advanced
functional features such functional features
that are the most useful for designing molded
parts. These are, for instance, core and cavity
design functional feature that are daily used:
Extrude, Revolve, Cut, Thicken surface, Rib,

Boss, Cutout, Rest, Pocket, Grill,
Reinforcement, Shell.
A New Level of Usability... Design flexibility
makes it easier to capture design intent.
Behavior-driven Design - Intelligent
features that encapsulate industry-specific
behaviors give users the freedom to focus
WHAT to design rather than HOW to design
The design team's capacity for innovation is
significantly improved. this is enhanced to
manage not just design but tolling as well.
benefit is dramatically reduced Time To
Market and enhanced quality
Order Independence - Users have the
flexibility to focus on their design intent and
not on the order in which they create design
elements.
Effective Change Propagation - The
built-in associative intelligence of functional
bodies, volumes, and features ensures that
design changes can be made quickly and
safely at any time during the product's life
cycle. This approach greatly facilitates
concurrent engineering because Designer B
can work on a functional part without any
consideration of the way it was previously
modeled by Designer A.
Removes the need for the tooling designer
to add/modify design features to
the tooling specification
Extended relational design capability
delivered through the unique V5 P2
publication tools
Process Coverage through CATIA V5
Integration... Total integration with the
CATIA V5 portfolio of applications ensures
end-to-end process coverage. This level of
integration provides molded part designers
with a comprehensive solution to cover the
design to manufacturing plastic part
creation process, from preliminary to
detailed design. It can be used with such
powerful products as its prerequisite
CATIA - Part Design 2 product for 3D
design in assembly contexts and with
CATIA - Generative Shape Design for
creating specification-driven shapes, such
as complex sweeps and fillets. Drafting
tools, such as CATIA - Interactive Drafting
and CATIA - Generative Drafting, are highly
recommended to extend the product's
drawing production capabilities.
