SimOffice is an easy-to-use finite element modeling and analysis environment with a built-in solver supporting the needs of design engineers and casual users.
In today’s difficult business environment, more and more engineers are asked to wear many hats in their day-to-day work. When CAE is an occasional part of the job, you need tools that are very affordable and very easy to use.
SimOffice enables the casual user to validate product designs - speeding up the design cycle, reducing the need for expensive prototypes, and improving product quality. A Windows-native, Office 2007 modeled, intuitive user interface makes it simple to mesh CAD-native geometry, apply loads and boundary conditions, run analyses, and evaluate the results of product simulations under real-world operating conditions. Built-in connectivity to productivity tools such as MS Excel, enables effortless linking of spreadsheet-based information tables, equations, plots, and graphs.
SimOffice is powered by MD Nastran – based on the most widely-used finite element solver in the world - to deliver robust and reliable analysis capabilities for stress, vibration, and other performance aspects of proposed designs. Using SimOffice, engineers can quickly and easily conduct analyses including:
- Linear and non-linear static, including contact
- Linear buckling
- Normal modes
- Steady-state heat transfer
- Dynamic response
- Transient
While most simulations can be performed on the engineer's desktop computer, SimOffice's built-in compatibility with MD Nastran allows large, compute-intensive simulations to be run using MD Nastran on high performance servers.
