Description

Simcenter Simsolid is a structural simulation solution from Siemens built to speed up analysis by eliminating geometry cleanup and meshing. It allows engineers and designers to work directly with fully featured CAD assemblies, helping them validate designs earlier in the development process. The software is designed for complex parts and large assemblies, including models that may include gaps, overlaps, or rough contact surfaces. By delivering results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, Simcenter Simsolid makes it easier to evaluate multiple design scenarios quickly. It supports many analysis methods, including linear statics, nonlinear statics, thermal studies, modal analysis, fatigue, thermal stress, buckling, composites, and random response. The platform also includes an extensive library of contacts, bolts, welds, rivets, adhesives, joints, bushings, and material types. Engineers can apply a wide variety of boundary conditions such as forces, pressure, gravity, thermal loads, inertia relief, hydrostatic loads, and remote loads. Simcenter Simsolid works with major CAD and PLM formats, including CATIA, NX, Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, JT, STEP, Parasolid, and more. Its visualization tools help users review stress, strain, displacement, safety factors, mode shapes, modal frequencies, and other key structural results.

Description

nCode DesignLife serves as a proactive design tool that pinpoints essential areas and estimates realistic fatigue lifespans based on top finite element (FE) analysis results applicable to both metals and composites. This innovative tool empowers design engineers to enhance their approach beyond basic stress assessments, enabling them to simulate real-world loading scenarios and thereby mitigate the risks of both under-design and over-design in their products, which can lead to expensive modifications later on. Additionally, the software offers features like virtual shaker testing, fatigue analysis for welds, vibration fatigue assessments, crack growth monitoring, fatigue evaluation for composites, and thermo-mechanical fatigue studies. It leverages advanced technologies for analyzing multiaxial stress, weld integrity, short-fiber composites, vibrational impacts, crack propagation, and thermal stress fatigue. With a user-friendly graphical interface, it facilitates comprehensive fatigue analysis using data from leading FEA tools such as ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, Altair OptiStruct, LS-Dyna, among others. Moreover, it incorporates multi-threaded and distributed processing capabilities, enabling efficient handling of large finite element models and optimizing overall usage schedules. This powerful combination of features ultimately ensures that engineers can deliver more reliable and efficient designs.
