The CAD Connection toolset

The CAD Connection toolset is used by the optional add-on associative interfaces for Abaqus/CAE to create a connection from Abaqus/CAE to another CAD system. You can use the CAD system to modify a model or to change its position, and you can use the established connection to update the model quickly in Abaqus/CAE. You can also modify some geometric features in Abaqus/CAE and use the CAD connection to update the original CAD system model.
