Description
MSC Nastran is a versatile application for multidisciplinary structural analysis, allowing engineers to conduct various assessments, including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, in both linear and nonlinear contexts. This software integrates automated structural optimization and award-winning fatigue analysis technologies, all powered by advanced computing capabilities. Engineers leverage MSC Nastran to guarantee that structural systems possess the required strength, stiffness, and longevity to prevent failures such as excessive stresses, resonance, buckling, or harmful deformations that could jeopardize structural integrity and safety. Additionally, MSC Nastran serves to enhance the cost-effectiveness and comfort of passenger experiences in structural designs. By optimizing performance in existing frameworks or creating distinctive product features, this tool provides a competitive edge within the industry. Furthermore, it assists in addressing potential structural problems that might arise during a product's operational life, thereby minimizing downtime and reducing associated costs. Ultimately, MSC Nastran empowers engineers to innovate and refine their designs effectively.
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.
