Use the CATIA Composites Link option to import drape data. This method is separate from the CATIA Reader Support, where drape data is not imported.

You need to use the CATIA composite (Simulyt) module and export a HDF5 file and then use that to import in Engineering Solutions using the CATIA composite connection. This is similar to the FiberSim Reader Support.          

1.First import a CAD model (without composite data) using the CATIA geometry import method.
2.Use the CATIA composite connection to import the HDF5 files created from the Simulyt interface in CATIA.
3.When realizing the plies, use the CATIA Composite Link drape map by proximity method in the Ply Realization dialog.
4.When exporting the composite data to CAD including draping, use the geometry export option CATIA Composites.
