Simcenter Simsolid
Simcenter Simsolid is a Siemens mechanical simulation tool that enables fast structural analysis of fully featured CAD assemblies without requiring geometry simplification or meshing. Traditional finite element analysis often requires significant preparation time before results can be generated, but Simcenter Simsolid removes those steps so engineers can focus more directly on evaluating design performance. The software is useful for designers and analysts who need quick feedback on complex parts, large assemblies, and production-level CAD models. It can efficiently handle assemblies with challenging geometry conditions, including gaps, overlaps, rough contact surfaces, and detailed connection features. Simcenter Simsolid delivers accurate simulation results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, allowing teams to compare more design alternatives in less time. The platform supports a broad set of analysis types, including linear and nonlinear statics, thermal analysis, modal analysis, fatigue analysis, stress linearization, buckling, dynamic response, thermal stress, composites, and squeak and rattle studies. It also includes support for time, frequency, global-local, and random response simulations, giving engineers a comprehensive environment for structural evaluation. Users can define realistic connections and materials with support for bonded, sliding, and separating contacts, as well as bolts, welds, rivets, adhesives, joints, bushings, isotropic materials, orthotropic materials, elasto-plastic materials, rigid materials, gases, and liquid bodies. Simcenter Simsolid also provides many boundary condition options, including force, pressure, gravity, thermal loads, bolt tightening, inertia relief, hydrostatic loads, bearing loads, volumetric expansion, distributed mass, and remote loads. It works with major CAD and PLM formats and integrates with tools such as Onshape and Teamcenter, making it easier to fit into established engineering workflows.
