In the quest to make products lighter yet stronger, manufacturers are increasing their use of composite materials. Simcenter is at the leading edge of composites analysis through continuous development of material models and element types. Simcenter speeds the entire process for simulating laminate composite materials through a seamless connection to composites design, accurate solvers and comprehensive post-processing.
Simcenter provides industry leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for fast, accurate CFD simulation of almost any engineering problem that involves the flow of liquids, gases (or a combination of both), together with all of the associated physics.
Understanding how a component or product assembly reacts under stress or vibration is critical in any industry. However, as products and materials become increasingly complex, engineers need tools that go beyond linear-statics analyses. Simcenter provides the structural analysis software you need to simulate a wide range of applications all within a single user environment.
Simcenter includes comprehensive, best-in-class thermal simulation capabilities that can help you to understand the thermal characteristics of your product and subsequently tailor your thermal management solution for optimal performance.
Efficiently mesh your models using extensive modeling functions for automatic and manual mesh generation of 1D, 2D and 3D elements in addition to numerous techniques for the application of loads and boundary conditions. User-defined geometry edits, mesh and boundary conditions are all associated to the base design, which means when the base design geometry changes, you can rapidly update your model. This approach greatly reduces downstream modeling time, which results in huge time savings across a project’s many design-analysis iterations.
How can I reduce material in a component or change its properties while ensuring it continues to meet performance targets? Simcenter delivers engineering optimization techniques that can help you answer these this question by systematically searching for the best design that satisfies certain criteria. Reduce component weight or find the right combination of parameters to improve product performance through comprehensive topology, geometry, and parameter optimization capabilities.
Reduce the time you spend preparing analysis models, and spend more time evaluating results. Quickly move from multi-CAD geometry data to a complete, run-ready analysis model using unique tools for CAE geometry editing, comprehensive meshing, FE assembly management, multi-CAE solver environments, and fast simulation results post processing and reporting.
As companies increase their reliance on simulation, they are seeking ways to speed-up the analysis process and increase simulation throughput. One way to increase simulation throughput is to capture repetitive CAE processes, standardize them, and then automate them. Simcenter allows you to capture the expertise of senior analysts and make it available for junior engineers in your organization to use in the form of wizards or templates.

The SDC Verifier or Structural Design Code Verifier is a program to help verify structures in accordance with required building and safety standards.
SDC Verifier already includes predefined standards on fatigue, stiffener and plate buckling, beam member checks, joint checks and weld, such as ANSI/AISC 360-10, API 2A RP, ISO 19902, Norsok N004, DIN15018, Eurocode 3, FEM 1.001, ABS 2004, ABS 2014, DNV RP-C201 2010, DNV CN30/1995. Check the full list of implemented standards.
Advanced Report Generation System
The creation of complete structural reports becomes a lot easier with the wizard-based report generation system. The full calculation procedure can be quickly documented with standard reports and fully customized with the “report designer”.
Save all settings in a report profile and the model properties, the complete calculation results, and the different checks can be easily generated or regenerated. Reviewing the effect of design changes has never been easier, just regenerate the report and compare the results.
Last but not least is the “open as a template” function that offers the possibility to re-use the full calculation procedure including the documentation on another Femap model.
RecurDyn is interdisciplinary, computer-aided engineering (CAE) software package whose primary function is the simulation of Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) of assemblies in motion while offering multi-physics solutions.
RecurDyn is CAE software that is focused on Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) while also offering multi-physics solutions. The RecurDyn technology has superior calculation efficiency because it is based on a recursive formulation. The core is Multi-Flexible Body Dynamics (MFBD) which combines a multibody dynamics solver and a nonlinear finite element method solver at the integrator level. RecurDyn supports other multidisciplinary CAE technologies such as control system modeling and nonlinear system-level optimization. RecurDyn provides the efficiency gains of process automation through a wide variety of application toolkits. Users can create their own custom applications using the bundled ProcessNet environment.
RecurDyn provides a unique MFBD analysis capability that combines MBD with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods in order to simulate moving assemblies of rigid and flexible bodies. The user can determine the detailed dynamic stress and strain within the context of a system-level analysis, including the time-varying inertial forces.
There are two types of flexible bodies that are supported with MFBD. The first type of flexible body (RFlex) is a simplified representation that is based on modal data generated by external FEA software. FFlex flexible bodies are based upon an FE mesh, where all nodal DOFs are retained.
Fatigue damage is one of the most common causes of structural failure and can lead to disastrous outcomes. Therefore, the prediction of structural fatigue life is essential in modern product design.
Pro-EMFATIC for Simcenter Femap is a comprehensive fatigue analysis software package built on widely used fatigue calculation methods. P-EF calculates structural life, cumulative fatigue damage, and safety factors. The stress and strain data used for fatigue calculations can be taken directly from Simcenter Femap. The durability results can be stored back into Simcenter Femap and can be displayed using Simcenter Femap post-processing capability. It also provides add-on capabilities that allow users to calculate fatigue results using the test measurements or the analytical values from non-Femap solutions.
The ADINA System offers a one-system program for comprehensive finite element analysis of structures, fluids, heat transfer, electromagnetics and multiphysics, all used by one graphical user interface.
The ADINA solver can be used with Simcenter 3D and Femap pre/post, so NX Nastran customers can seamlessly migrate from SOL 601/701 to ADINA without changing their workflow. Many NX Nastran customers have already smoothly migrated from SOL 601/701 to ADINA. These customers are pleased with the smooth migration and the additional solution capabilities now available to them in the ADINA solver.
