What is SolidFEA?

SolidFEA is an innovative solid finite element analysis tool designed to make advanced structural engineering design more reachable and cost-efficient. Leveraging the power of the Calculix engine, it offers comprehensive sub-model analysis while demanding less financial outlay and computational resources compared to rivals such as Abaqus. This software excels in addressing complex engineering challenges, particularly in areas like steel connections and bridge design, empowering users by simplifying access to specialized tools. Notably, SolidFEA's capability to import IFC file formats allows it to seamlessly fit into current engineering workflows, thereby enhancing the capabilities of our GenFEA software for comprehensive structural assessments. By reducing the traditional barriers associated with solid finite element analysis (FEA), SolidFEA signifies a major leap forward in structural engineering design, fostering innovation by opening the door for more engineers to engage in intricate projects. Moreover, its intuitive interface and compatibility features pave the way for a new standard of efficiency in engineering methodologies, ultimately transforming how professionals approach complex structural challenges.

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.
