FEMFAT (Finite Element Method / FATigue) The software FEMFAT performs fatigue analyses in combination with widely used finite element programs such as NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS, I-DEAS, MEDINA, PATRAN, PRO/MECHANICA,..To ensure full and convenient integration into the customers\’ CAE processes, commonly used interfaces to multi-body, optimization and measurement systems are integrated as well (ADAMS, SIMPACK, TOSCA, RPC, LMS-TecMath, DIAdem). At an early stage of the design process – long before time and cost consuming tests are scheduled – FEMFAT provides engineers with reliable information on the fatigue life of structures. Therefore it is possible to improve critical points and most probably reduce the total weight, which results in high-level prototypes and consequently leads to less tests. The continuous practical usage of...

ESI VA One product of ESI GROUP is intended for design and analysis of VibrationThe program allows to take into account the optimal characteristics of the noise and vibration at the design stage and ensure the implementation of vibro-acoustic requirements without the cost and weight increase.The innovative integration of finite element analysis (FEA) and the statistical method of analysis (SEA) in the same model allows the user to solve problems as effectively as in the separate application of methods SEA and FEA VA One includes, of course, AutoSEA2, vibro-acoustic analysis of the standard program for the medium and high frequencies, and Rayon, solver, has already proved its efficiency in the vibro-acoustic analysis for the low frequency region. In addition, VA...

CFD Software: FLOW-3D OverviewFLOW-3D is a powerful and highly-accurate CFD software that gives engineers valuable insight into many physical flow processes. With special capabilities for accurately predicting free-surface flows, FLOW-3D is the ideal CFD software to use in your design phase as well as in improving production processes. FLOW-3D is an all-inclusive package. No special additional modules for meshing or post-processing are needed. An integrated graphical user interface ties everything together, from problem setup to post-processing.

A successful building project is one which combines aesthetic appeal with a practical functionality. But how can you guarantee that people can talk to each other in comfort – or understand an important announcement? Can you be sure that a new housing development will not suffer from highway noise – or the factory that you want to build? Will the audience in cinemas, theaters, and concert halls be amazed at the exquisite sound quality – or be shocked by the echoes, flutters and muffled production? It is so easy to make a mistake – and fixing an acoustic problem by palliative treatments is very, very expensive. LMS RAYNOISE is a computer-aided acoustic design and analysis system for the architect or...

ANSYS Maxwell® is the premier electromagnetic field simulation software for engineers tasked with designing and analyzing 3-D and 2-D electromagnetic and electromechanical devices such as motors, actuators, transformers, sensors and coils. Maxwell uses the accurate finite element method to solve static, frequency-domain and time-varying electromagnetic and electric fields. A key benefit of Maxwell is its automated solution process where users are only required to specify geometry, material properties and the desired output. From this point, Maxwell will automatically generate an appropriate, efficient and accurate mesh for solving the problem. This proven automatic adaptive meshing process removes complexity from the analysis process and allows engineers to benefit from a highly-efficient, easy-to-use design flow.

?? Pointwise is a software solution to the top problem facing engineering analysts: mesh generation for computational fluids dynamics (CFD). Quality – We designed Pointwise so users could be in control, not the system. Whether your grid is structured, unstructured, or hybrid, Pointwise uses high-quality techniques with powerful controls so you can achieve accurate and reliable results while reducing computer resources required. Flexibility – Pointwise offers the best of both worlds: advanced automation, as well as flexible manual controls for those times when only human intervention can create the outcome you demand. It\’s the workhorse that gets you confidently from dealing with less-than-perfect CAD to formatting the grid for your flow solver. Service – Our commitment to your success is...

Independently developed based on know-how accumulated over the past ten years, the program is structured in a casting process-oriented manner, allowing ease of simulation even for non-numerical simulation specialists.Currently, the program may be applied to all types of casting including sand casting, metal mould casting, high pressure and low pressure die casting, gravity tilt casting, investment casting and can predict rapidly and accurately the problems that may arise during casting processes due to its excellent simulation performance and high accuracy. With a Windows-based layout and menu, you can easily manipulate and examine conditions or results of interest with minimum amount of work as well as view realistic graphics thanks to the OpenGL method. Not only this, the Database program, which...

ANSYS Simplorer is a multi-domain system simulation software program.
