Description

SCIA Engineer is a multi-material, integrated structural analysis software and design tool that can be used to design all types of structures. It is a versatile tool that can be used to design office buildings, industrial plants and bridges, as well as other projects, in a single, easy-to-use environment. It offers powerful CAD-like modeling, advanced calculations, code-compliant multimaterial design, and customizable reports. You can automate common situations with built-in or custom-made parametric templates for different geometries, and powerful load generation software. SCIA Engineer offers the most complete implementation of Eurocodes, including U.S. codes, and other international standards. Through powerful bi-directional links to Allplan, Revit, Tekla Structures, Open BIM’s IFC and third-party plugs-ins, seamless exchange of models with other stakeholders.

Description

Simcenter OptiStruct serves as a powerful multiphysics and multidisciplinary tool for simulation and optimization, covering both implicit and explicit analysis. By adopting a “One Model, One Solver” philosophy, it enhances workflow effectiveness, delivers necessary engineering analyses, and shortens the time required to achieve results, all while preserving precision. Genuine design advancements are achieved through the evaluation, refinement, and optimization of the entire system using a unified, integrated platform, which is precisely what OptiStruct facilitates. Engineers are empowered to evaluate a range of physics, such as durability, heat transfer, acoustics, and fatigue, all within a single model that combines structural and multiphysics analysis, thereby streamlining processes and hastening market readiness. Its flexible architecture supports collaboration with favored tools, integration of third-party software, and customization of the application, ensuring that the same model and solver approach are upheld throughout. Furthermore, OptiStruct establishes a benchmark for optimization in various areas including lightweighting, structural integrity, multi-model, nonparametric shape optimization, and multi-material applications, making it an essential tool for engineers. Ultimately, the versatility and efficiency offered by OptiStruct not only enhance the design process but also foster innovation across diverse engineering sectors.
