SIMULIA Features
Structural Simulation
The structural simulation tools in SIMULIA allow users to evaluate the performance of their designs using the world-renowned ABAQUS solver for Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Analysts and designers can perform static and dynamic analyses to predict the behavior and maximize the lifecycle of their products. With collaborative tools available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, users can now work with native SOLIDWORKS geometry in this ABAQUS Simulation environment.
Flow Simulation
Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD is a technique that deals with the solution of fluid flow fields through numerical analysis. The Fluid Dynamics Engineer role in the SIMULIA portfolio is a CFD program that tackles fluid flow and heat transfer challenges. Designed for the typical SOLIDWORKS user and analyst, this program has essential features that solves internal and external problems in fields such as valve design, heat exchangers, aerodynamics, turbomachinery, life sciences, and oil and gas. The program also introduces several advanced features such as surface tension, rotating regions and free-surface flow allowing users to simulate complex fluid scenarios accurately.
Plastics Simulation
The plastics injection engineer role in the SIMULIA portfolio simulates the flow of the plastic melt into the mold cavity and provides results that will help part designers, mold designers, and injection molding manufacturers validate and optimize their products. Users can predict common plastic part defects such as short shots, sink marks, weld lines and part warpage to ensure a high quality, manufacturable product while reducing mold rework. With this technology available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, users can take advantage of common features such as cloud computing, guided workflows and the connection to SOLIDWORKS CAD.
