Who uses Autodesk Simulation tools…
© 2011 Autodesk
“In order to successfully take cost out of products, engineers must be able to understand the trade-offs for performance and quality”
“…engineering Simulation and Analysis (S&A) tools have increasingly become an indispensable component of the product development process.”
“A theme of product development is the incorporation of ‘simulation-driven design,’ reflecting the evolution to virtual simulation environments…”
“…Best-in-Class conduct a wide range of different types of simulation to get a truer picture of real world behavior.”

“To support their ability to assess performance throughout the design process… …Best-in-Class are 66% more likely that their competition to leverage digital prototypes.”

How We Are Different
Intelligent Automatic Meshing
� Automatic Mesh Sizing defines the mesh by performing a comprehensive
topological interrogation of the analysis geometry and determining the
mesh size and distribution on every edge, surface, and volume. Automatic
Mesh Sizing considers geometric curvature, gradients, and proximity to
neighboring geometry when computing all element sizes of the mesh
distributions.
Accelerant Finite Element Solver Technology
� The heart of Autodesk Simulation CFD is the finite element method. The
flexibility in modeling any geometric shape is unparalleled. Autodesk
Simulation CFD uses the finite element method to reduce the governing
partial differential equations (PDEs) to a set of algebraic equations. The
dependent variables are represented by polynomial shape functions over a
small area or volume (also known as an element). These representations are
substituted into the governing PDEs.
