SIMetrix/SIMPLIS Reviews

SimSolid is the revolutionary simulation technology for engineers, designers, and analysts. It performs structural analyses on fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes. SimSolid eliminates geometry preparation, meshing, and other errors that are time-consuming and difficult to perform in conventional structural simulations. Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. You can use any CAD model, even an early one. SimSolid tolerance for imprecise geometry means SimSolid simulation tools don't need to be simplified before analyzing designs. SimSolid supports all types of connections (bolt/nuts, bonded, rivets and sliding) and analysis for linear static, modal, and thermal properties. It also supports complex coupled, nonlinear, dynamic effects.

One animated circuit is equivalent to a thousand equations or diagrams. The schematic is accompanied by animations of voltages and currents. This gives a great insight into the operation of the circuit. The real-time simulation engine was custom-built to be fast and interactive. Simulate everything from simple logic gates and resistors to complex transistor-level designs and mixed-signal circuits with just one click. You can adjust potentiometers and LED current-limiting resistors while the simulation is running. Your changes will be reflected in real-time. The mini-waveforms that appear on top of the schematic wires are different for digital and analogue signals. Digital wires are color coded, while constant analog voltages are shown in numbers. In the XY mode, any pair of time domain signals can be plotted. The grid ticks and oscilloscope scale are automatically updated to convenient values when the data changes.
