Description

S-FRAME empowers users to model, analyze, and design any type of structure, accommodating a wide range of geometric complexities, material specifications, loading scenarios, nonlinear behaviors, and design code stipulations. The platform features automated framework generators that facilitate rapid model creation and offers seamless integration with BIM and DXF formats, allowing users to enhance their efficiency with built-in design tools for concrete and steel, which support design, optimization, code adherence, and report generation. Through S-FRAME, users can swiftly define structures with advanced modeling automation, enabling the generation of regular framework structures and both standard and custom trusses, while clone tools allow for the easy replication of entire models or specific sections. Moreover, the ability to import existing BIM and DXF models significantly reduces modeling time, further improving productivity. The sophisticated meshing capabilities of S-FRAME create a detailed finite element mesh, equipping users to derive comprehensive analysis results tailored to their areas of interest. Lastly, users have the flexibility to delve deeper into their analysis by converting members into multi-shell models, enhancing their understanding and evaluation of structural performance.

Description

Patran offers an extensive array of tools designed to facilitate the development of models ready for analysis across various domains, including linear and nonlinear problems, explicit dynamics, thermal analysis, and more within finite element solutions. Its geometry cleanup features assist engineers in efficiently addressing issues like gaps and slivers present in CAD designs, while solid modeling capabilities allow users to construct models from the ground up. The software simplifies the mesh generation process on both surfaces and solids through a combination of fully automated meshing routines and manual techniques that afford users greater precision. Additionally, Patran includes built-in options for setting up loads, boundary conditions, and analyses compatible with leading finite element solvers, significantly reducing the need for adjusting input files. With its robust and industry-validated functionalities, Patran ensures that virtual prototyping is not only swift but also effective, enabling users to assess product performance against specific requirements and refine their designs accordingly. As a result, engineers can spend less time on setup and more on innovation and optimization.
