SimSolid


SimSolid is a software that provides simulation technology for engineers, designers, and analysts. It eliminates meshing and geometry preparation. Design scenarios can be simulated under real-life conditions. Early CAD models can be used in any common format. SimSolid offers a tolerance of imprecise geometry which means that unlike CAD-embedded simulation tools, there won't be a need to simplify complex geometries before analyzing designs.


SimSolid supports all connections (bolt/nut, bonded, welds, rivets, sliding) and analysis of linear static, thermal, modal properties along with other more complex coupled, transient and nonlinear dynamic effects. The software provides simulation power to help quicken engineering decisions, SimSolid also aids with the faster development of quality products to beat competitors to market.


What to Expect from this Course

The goal of this course is to teach you the essentials for analyzing models using Altair SimSolid.
