Isight is used to create flexible simulation process flows (simflows) consisting of a variety of applications\/components Isight comes with a standard library of application components such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/software\/abaqus-unified-fea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABAQUS<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/software\/catia-v5\/\">CATIA<\/a> as well as third party applications which are used for building simflows (see example simflow pictured to the left and below).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/isightparametricoptimization-300x120.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"120\" \/>Within the simflow you can also add techniques, also know as drivers (i.e., Design of Experiments, Optimization, DOE, Six Sigma, Taguchi, Monte Carlo, etc.) which are used for design exploration and\/or optimization.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.3ds.com\/products-services\/simulia\/services\/training-courses\/course-descriptions\/introduction-to-isight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Isight graphic user interface<\/a>, called the design gateway, allows for easy drag-and-drop process creation. Isight allows for branching and looping executions. Isight runs on a token-based system similar to ABAQUS. The number of tokens to be used for your simflow is dependent upon simflow content, simflow complexity, and parallel batch size.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of Isight are many and varied for engineers and product developers. \u00a0To start using Isight\u00a0to improve efficiency, accelerate product design, and reduce manual errors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/contact\/\">contact CATI<\/a> today.
