Altair SimSolid 2024.0
Free Download Altair SimSolid for Windows. This unique technology eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive, and error-prone tasks in traditional FEA. With SIMSOLID, model preparation is done in minutes.
Overview of Altair SimSolid
SIMSOLID has been designed to analyze complex parts and large assemblies impractical with traditional FEA. SIMSOLID is tolerant of imprecise geometry. Its assembly connections are the industry’s best at handling irregular contact surfaces with gaps and overlapping geometry.
It is fast, real fast. Solution times are typically measured in seconds to minutes on a standard PC. With SIMSOLID, multiple design scenarios can be quickly analyzed and compared. Accuracy can be specified on an individual part level,l allowing a rapid drill down to any required level of detail.
All SIMSOLID editions are directly integrated with the Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, and Autodesk Fusion 360 CAD systems. Since geometry simplification is not required, CAD and SIMSOLID share an identical view of the assembly hierarchy. Make a design change? SIMSOLID’s unique design studies are fully associative, so analysis updates are fast and painless. Don’t have Fusion 360, Onshape, or SOLIDWORKS? No problem; SIMSOLID can also read standard STL files from any CAD system.
How does SIMSOLID’s workflow compare with traditional FEA? Here is one example of a 214-part assembly containing various multi-scale parts – big, small, thick, and thin-walled. With SIMSOLID, answers to guide design intent are available in minutes. Analysis can be used to evaluate every design iteration. With traditional FEA, the complexity of the geometry simplification and meshing process makes it impractical to incorporate analysis in the design workflow.
Features of Altair SimSolid
- Next generation, high capacity, structural FEA.
- It uses new computational methods that operate on original, unsimplified CAD geometry and does not create a mesh.
- Solve massive assemblies on a standard desktop computer.
- The perfect complement to your existing CAE-specific or CAD-embedded Simulation. It extends its analysis range to larger models and provides feedback in seconds to minutes.
- This is how design analysis is supposed to work fast, robustly, and accurately.
