The CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway for CATIA V5 product is available for Ansys Workbench. The Ansys Workbench-specific portions are included in the installation. However, to run this product, you must complete the configuration as follows:
Install Ansys Workbench according to the instructions in this guide.
Install CATIA V5 and DSLS licensing (requires a CATIAV5 license key MD2, HD2 or ME2).
From the Ansys customer site, download the CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway for CATIA V5 for your platform to a temporary folder. (Do not download to a folder containing blank spaces in the folder name, for example, Program Files). Follow the download procedures described in Downloading the Installation Files.
Extract the contents of the zip file using your standard zip utility.
Install CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway for CATIA V5 using the appropriate exe for your platform.
Follow the instructions on the CAPRI installation screens to complete the installation. When specifying the component to install, you will need to select the desired CatiaV5 release under CAPRI CAD Applications. When asked if CAPRI should set the environment variables, click Yes.
Run the Product & CAD Configuration Manager and select the Catia V5: CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway option to complete the configuration as described in Using the Product & CAD Configuration Manager.
Note: Using the Product & CAD Configuration Manager to set up the CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway does not require administrative rights, although installing that product (step 5) requires these rights. However, if you want to reconfigure to use the Ansys Workbench Reader for Catia V5, administrative rights are required.
If you want to revert to the standard CATIA V5 interface, run the Product & CAD Configuration Manager and select the Catia V5: Standard Interface option to complete the configuration as described in Using the Product & CAD Configuration Manager.
You cannot run the standard CATIA V5 interface simultaneously with the CADNexus/CAPRI CAE Gateway for CATIA V5 interface.
