Altair SimSolid is a simulation software for Windows that performs fast and accurate structural, thermal, and motion simulations. Unlike traditional finite element analysis (FEA) software, SimSolid uses a unique solver technology that allows for significantly faster analysis times, often orders of magnitude faster than traditional FEA. This makes it suitable for both quick design checks and detailed investigations.

Key features include :

*

Fast simulation:

Its core strength lies in its speed, enabling engineers to iterate designs quickly and efficiently.
*

Intuitive interface:

It[SQ]s designed to be user-friendly, even for those less experienced with CAE software.
*

Automated meshing:

The software handles meshing automatically, eliminating the time-consuming and often complex meshing process required by traditional FEA. This simplifies the workflow and reduces the learning curve.
*

Direct modeling capabilities:

You can work directly with CAD models without the need for extensive preprocessing.
*

Linear and nonlinear analysis:

It can handle both linear and nonlinear analyses, covering a wide range of engineering applications.
*

Multiphysics capabilities:

It can perform structural, thermal, and motion simulations, integrating different physics aspects.
*

Various results visualization:

Offers various tools for visualizing simulation results, allowing for thorough analysis of stress, strain, displacement, temperature, etc.


In short, Altair SimSolid aims to democratize simulation by making it faster, easier, and more accessible to a wider range of engineers and designers. It[SQ]s particularly beneficial for applications where quick turnaround times are critical, or where extensive FEA expertise might not be readily available.
