What is Altair SimSolid?

SimSolid represents a groundbreaking advancement in simulation technology tailored for engineers, designers, and analysts alike. Capable of conducting structural analyses on comprehensive CAD assemblies in mere minutes, SimSolid streamlines the simulation process by removing the need for geometry preparation and meshing, which are often tedious and prone to errors in traditional methods. With its ability to quickly simulate various design scenarios under realistic conditions, users can work with any CAD model, including those in the early stages of development. The platform's tolerance for imprecise geometry allows for analyses without the necessity to simplify designs beforehand. Furthermore, SimSolid accommodates all connection types—such as bolts, nuts, bonded joints, rivets, and sliding interactions—and provides analysis for linear static, modal, and thermal properties. This advanced tool also encompasses intricate coupled effects, nonlinear behaviors, and dynamic responses, making it a versatile choice for comprehensive engineering evaluations. Thus, SimSolid not only enhances efficiency but also expands the capabilities of simulation in the engineering workflow.

What is ProtaSteel?

ProtaSteel enables structural engineers and detailers to rapidly automate the creation of steel connections, producing high-quality detail drawings in mere minutes. By seamlessly importing models from ProtaStructure into ProtaSteel, users can save significant amounts of time with the automated design of various bolted and welded connections that meet their specific requirements. The software includes a 3D visualization feature that enhances model coordination, allows for the integration of additional steelwork, and supports comprehensive project quantification and value engineering. By automatically generating outstanding engineering drawings for all aspects of steelwork and connections, ProtaSteel significantly reduces both design and detailing time. This not only improves the efficiency of design teams but also increases the profitability of projects. Furthermore, ProtaSteel streamlines project management by providing smooth integration with other major BIM platforms like Tekla Structures and Revit, leading to a more cohesive workflow. As a result, engineers are empowered to devote more time to creative problem-solving and innovation, ultimately enhancing the overall quality and success of their projects. The combination of automation and integration offered by ProtaSteel makes it an invaluable tool in the field of structural design.
