Description

Simcenter OptiStruct serves as a powerful multiphysics and multidisciplinary tool for simulation and optimization, covering both implicit and explicit analysis. By adopting a “One Model, One Solver” philosophy, it enhances workflow effectiveness, delivers necessary engineering analyses, and shortens the time required to achieve results, all while preserving precision. Genuine design advancements are achieved through the evaluation, refinement, and optimization of the entire system using a unified, integrated platform, which is precisely what OptiStruct facilitates. Engineers are empowered to evaluate a range of physics, such as durability, heat transfer, acoustics, and fatigue, all within a single model that combines structural and multiphysics analysis, thereby streamlining processes and hastening market readiness. Its flexible architecture supports collaboration with favored tools, integration of third-party software, and customization of the application, ensuring that the same model and solver approach are upheld throughout. Furthermore, OptiStruct establishes a benchmark for optimization in various areas including lightweighting, structural integrity, multi-model, nonparametric shape optimization, and multi-material applications, making it an essential tool for engineers. Ultimately, the versatility and efficiency offered by OptiStruct not only enhance the design process but also foster innovation across diverse engineering sectors.

Description

VPS-MICRO estimates the lifespan of manufactured components by modeling the characteristics of their constituent materials. This innovative software is founded on three fundamental principles. First, durability is influenced not just by the stress applied but also by how the material responds to that stress. Second, the materials used in creating intricate components and systems often exhibit non-uniform properties. Lastly, computational resources are more cost-effective and quicker compared to traditional physical testing or prototyping methods. Building upon these concepts, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® serves as a sophisticated computational tool that effectively considers a material’s response to imposed stress, its inherent variability, various damage mechanisms, geometric factors, and the operational conditions over time. Consequently, it produces a three-dimensional, time-sensitive simulation that reliably mirrors the real-world physics behind the onset, progression, and reasons for material damage, offering valuable insights for engineers and designers alike. This capability not only enhances understanding but also aids in improving the design and reliability of future products.
