The Geometry Problem

The geometry of CAD and FEA are DifferentDisparity between CAD and FEA geometry models needlessly

complicates the analysis user paradigm and is the primary inhibitor blocking wider adoption of FEA in driving design workflows

Page 4: Example Slidedeck

The Geometry Problem Creates Complexity

• Complexity in defeaturing, midplaning, geometry editing & cleanup

• Complexity in meshing• Complexity in load creation and application• Complexity in solving

All steps require many judgment calls, are labor-intensive, error prone and often requires experts in both simulation and CAD

The SIMSOLID SolutionReinvent the process of structural simulation1. Provides a direct connection to Onshape cloud documents2. Eliminates the need for CAD model simplification from structural analysis

workflows3. Eliminates meshing from structural analysis workflows4. Provides adaptive analysis to control solution accuracy5. Provides smart connectors to make assembly modeling easier and more

robust6. Provides superior performance metrics for computation time and memory

footprint7. Operates simply and efficiently as a lightweight desktop app

Benefit 1 - Process Improvement

SIMSOLID

Traditional FEA

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Simplify Geometry Create Mesh Setup Analysis Solve Interpret Results

SIMSOLID eliminates the two most time consuming and expertise extensive tasks of geometry simplification and meshing

Benefit 2 – Changing What’s Solvable

FEA

SIMSOLID

Incorporate Large Assemblies and Complex Geometry

Page 8: Example Slidedeck

Application Example

Analysis of Large Assemblies• Large assembly

– 153 parts with varying thickness and size

– Large and small scale parts– Thin walled tubular components– Complex floor grate– Bolted and welded connections

• Direct from CAD– CAD geometry analyzed unaltered – All part connections

auto-generated– Import, model & solve in under 14

minutes on desktop Core i7

• Solution not practical in current FEA systems

Application Example

Eliminates Part Geometry Cleanup

Page 10: Example Slidedeck

Application Example

Eliminates Part Geometry Simplification• Telescope housing

complex machined base plate

• 1,200+ faces, 150+ small holes

• Solves in 4-minon desktop Core i7

• Solution not practical in current FEA systems
