EASY join it Analysis
The intelligent plugin for Catia for automatically checking joint connections
BRILLIANTLY EASY
Secure processes at an early stage
EASY join it Analysis is available as a plugin for Catia. The software can be used for all joining processes common in the automotive industry, for example the detailed analysis of every welding flange on the product. With EASY join it Analysis you can reduce work steps, reduce processing times and create process reliability at an early stage.
ADVANTAGES
Reduce costs, increase quality
Securing countless joining positions, which also differ in numerous parameters, is a mammoth task for even the most experienced employee and can rarely be implemented without errors. EASY join it Analysis supports employees in this activity by carrying out the evaluation 100% reliably and only focusing on the “problem positions”.
- Securing the component geometry
- Early verification of material combinations
- Early verification of sheet thickness combinations
- Analysis of each welding flange
- Securing the joining technology introduced
- Verification of the RPS (reference point system)
FEATURES OVERVIEW
A decisive step ahead of the tool accessibility investigation
Securing countless joining positions, which also differ in numerous parameters, is a mammoth task for even the most experienced employee and can rarely be implemented without errors. EASY join it Analysis supports employees in this activity by carrying out the evaluation 100% reliably and only focusing on the “problem positions”.
- Differentiation of cases according to joining method
- Checking the radius of curvature on the component
- Analysis of the comparison sheet thickness
- Prevent component damage caused by the tool at an early stage
- Minimum distance between joining points on the welding flange according to spec. Secondary conclusion criteria
- Minimum required edge distance
- Minimum required distance to the radius insertion point
- Prevent component damage caused by the tool at an early stage
- Analyze and verify material adjustments
- All relevant joining data is collected in a database
FEATURES
Applicable to all common joining processes
With EASY join it Analysis, all types of point-to-point joining connections can be examined for theoretical feasibility in the shortest possible time. To do this, the program analyzes both component and joining point information in CATIA, checks it and evaluates the data accordingly. For example, every welding flange on the product is secured in the shortest possible time.
Checking the distances
- Checking the edge distance to the component contour edge, for each joining point on the welding flange
- Checking the distance between the individual joining points on the welding flange
- Distances can be checked according to your own specification
- Specific values can be stored for each joining process
- Exceptional situations can be calculated and evaluated separately
Checking the radii
- Checking the distance to the radius insertion point of the components, per joining point
- Checking the radius of curvature on the component in the area of the individual joining points
- Radii can be checked according to your own specification
- Complex calculation checks the component radii in the local area for each joining element
- Exceptional situations can be calculated and evaluated separately
JOINING MODULES
The suitable module for all joining processes
Each joining process has its own specific test criteria. Whether welding flange or cold joining, EASY join it Analysis offers differentiated testing algorithms for all common joining processes that are adapted to the respective joining process and its specific requirements. This means that a meaningful test result can be provided for every joining situation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions & answers
For which design programs is the software available?
The software is currently available as an add-on for CATIA V5 from release 2014.
What input data is required?
Native CAD data in CATIA V5 is required. In addition, the joining information must be stored in a specific format. A uniform and easy-to-use structure of the joining data can be created with EASY join it Creation.
Are special licenses required for the CAD programs?
No, a simple license is sufficient.
Is there an instruction manual for the software?
Yes, an instruction manual is included and can be accessed via the software.
Do I need other programs to use it?
Yes, an EXCEL version from 2010 is required to export the results.
