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.

Description

ETW, located in Wisconsin, specializes in manufacturing both standard and custom tooling, utilizing a diverse array of tools within our machining departments. Each tool assembly is meticulously reproduced in our CAD/CAM software using user-defined templates to guarantee accurate part simulations. Programmers can swiftly program parts and select tools from the CAM library with just a click, eliminating the need to recreate tools each time they are required. Whenever feasible, standard tools are employed as they often remain installed in the machines, thereby minimizing setup times. Non-standard tools are reserved for unavoidable situations, which helps streamline the setup process. To enhance tooling efficiency and accurately monitor usage, ETW has created a proprietary software called Total Tool Management (TTM), which oversees the tools utilized across all our machines and projects. Every assembly and component is cataloged in a centralized database, providing the capability to search for any specific component or assembly for quick and convenient access. This innovative approach not only optimizes our tooling processes but also significantly improves productivity across the board.
