"enable to do" or "enable doing"
Thanks in advance!
I have two sentences and I wonder if they are both correct.
AAAA accurately enables positioning the models in a real environment.
BBBB enables them to take advantage of opportunities.
If they are all right, what's the difference between "enable to do" and "enable doing" . How should I choose?

enable + gerund in your first example is correct.
enable + object + infinitive in your second example is correct
The main difference with your second example is that there is a direct object, "them"
I don't think you will go far wrong using these 2 examples, with and without an object, as your pattern

>AAA is able to prove the working of his models in a real environment.
BBBB enables them to take advantage of any opportunity that comes their way.OK
"enable (subject) to VERB " > Enable (him, them /us) to go/eat/fly ,etc.
"enable doing" X Enable(the) gerund noun/noun > He has done a lot for the country, so much so that it enables THE COUNTRY..(noun) / AAA has come up with a new model that enables THE ASSEMBLING of parts easier.(gerund noun)
