Based on Haption’s physics engine IPSI^TM, IFC “Interactive Fitting for Catia” is a CAAV5 plug-in for Catia V5^TM 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

• 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

• Transfers the geometry and kinematics of a V5 manikin into a physics manikin
• Animates the V5 manikin in real-time
• Computes collisions in real-time
• Attaches haptic devices to the hand of the V5 manikin
• Controls all segments of the V5 manikin using a full-body tracking system
• Controls of the manikin’s hands using data gloves
• Records in real time the motion of the V5 manikin in an XML file
• Replays the motion with or without collision
