Description
Patran offers an extensive array of tools designed to facilitate the development of models ready for analysis across various domains, including linear and nonlinear problems, explicit dynamics, thermal analysis, and more within finite element solutions. Its geometry cleanup features assist engineers in efficiently addressing issues like gaps and slivers present in CAD designs, while solid modeling capabilities allow users to construct models from the ground up. The software simplifies the mesh generation process on both surfaces and solids through a combination of fully automated meshing routines and manual techniques that afford users greater precision. Additionally, Patran includes built-in options for setting up loads, boundary conditions, and analyses compatible with leading finite element solvers, significantly reducing the need for adjusting input files. With its robust and industry-validated functionalities, Patran ensures that virtual prototyping is not only swift but also effective, enabling users to assess product performance against specific requirements and refine their designs accordingly. As a result, engineers can spend less time on setup and more on innovation and optimization.
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.
