Produce “spectacular rainbow-colored images”

May 25, 2009 - 03:11 PM

There are engineers. There are specialists. And then there are design engineers who have enough knowledge to digitally validate designs without needing a degree to do it. Having

built in finite element analysis inside of your CAD system makes perfect sense.

One engineer commented “I always see these spectacular rainbow-colored images of products being stressed in the computer, but you have to have a PhD to figure out how to run the software.”

With the introduction of

Solid Edge Simulation, users who have a fundamental understanding of FEA principles, can now perform their own analysis without being a specialist!

Many of you may ask how does this differ from Simulation Express (formerly Femap Express)? Solid Edge Simulation

allows for both component to component and glued component analysis as well as a full complement of load and constraint definitions.

With Solid Edge Simulation, you can expect:
• Lower product costs
• Cut material costs
• Improve product quality
• Require fewer physical prototypes

We’ve had a few questions about data transfer, because often you need both a solution for the design engineer and the analyst. Solid Edge Simulation provides that scalability, you can transfer modeling and FE data into Femap for further analysis if needs be. It’s worth remembering too that both solutions share common tried and tested technologies, Femap meshing functionality for example, and of course both use NX Nastran to calculate results.

I have been waiting for a product like this. FEMAP Express was often not powerful enough, and full fledged analysis software is too exspensive and complex for Joe Designer to use. This fills an important gap between the two. I’m very excited to see this coming.
