Description
Inventor® Nastran® is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool integrated within CAD software, enabling engineers and analysts to perform a diverse range of studies using various materials. This software provides comprehensive simulation capabilities that encompass both linear and nonlinear stress analysis, dynamic simulations, and heat transfer assessments. It is exclusively accessible through the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, which includes a suite of powerful tools designed to enhance workflows within Inventor. In addition to advanced simulation features, this collection also offers 5-axis CAM, nesting tools, and access to software like AutoCAD and Fusion 360, ensuring a holistic approach to product design and manufacturing processes. By utilizing Inventor Nastran, professionals can streamline their analysis and improve their design outcomes significantly.
Description
RadCAD employs an advanced, oct-tree accelerated Monte-Carlo ray tracing algorithm to calculate radiation exchange factors and view factors with remarkable speed. The enhancements introduced by C&R Technologies in the ray tracing methodology have led to the development of a highly efficient thermal radiation analysis tool. By utilizing finite difference "conics" or curved finite elements from TD Direct®, RadCAD is capable of precisely simulating diffuse and specular reflections as well as transmissive surfaces, independent of node density. The thermal solution's requirements govern the node quantity, rather than the precision needed for radiation calculations. Furthermore, RadCAD allows users to create custom databases that specify optical properties, with each surface coating detailing its absorptivity, transmissivity, reflectivity, and specularity in both solar and infrared wavelengths. These optical characteristics can be tailored to account for variations in incident angles or wavelength dependencies, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of thermal modeling. Ultimately, this level of customization ensures that RadCAD meets diverse analytical needs across various applications.
