Structures Workspace

Motion Workspace

Thermal Workspace

Crash Workspace

SimXpert provides a platform for expert analysts to complete all stages of the simulation process – from pre-processing and modeling, solving, to post-processing, results manipulation and reporting – within one simulation environment. The SimXpert environment includes workspaces that allow the analyst to easily move from one area of expertise to another while sharing data models and results.

Use a unified simulation environment to:

• Create complex virtual prototypes
• Conduct demanding virtual tests
• Evaluate large amounts of results
• Create organized reports

The available workspace are as follows:

• Perform comprehensive linear and nonlinear finite element analysis
• Layout advanced FEA testing for stress, thermal, vibration, and contact events

• Predict working loads arising from system interactions

• Use multibody dynamics to analyze the behavior of different components, connections, and forces in complete mechanical systems

• Study thermal performance by utilizing steady-state heat transfer, free/forced conduction, and thermo-mechanical analysis

• Perform large deformation, highly nonlinear, short duration transient dynamic analyses for both structural impact and coupled fluid-structure problems such as fan blade out scenarios and stent deployment in arteries
• Ensure safety and crashworthiness by using SimXpert's numerous tools
• Extend your simulation with SimXpert's unique capabilities including dummy positioning, seat belt routing, airbag deployment, and explicit impact analysis

System and Controls Workspace

• Simulate control systems for: electrical, thermal, hydraulic, gas dynamics, and numerous other applications

SimXpert Template Builder

CAE automation with template

Simxpert’s template builder enables engineers to:

• Automate the CAE process by reducing the number of simulation tasks, definition of loads, materials, properties, etc.
• Expand analyses by taking advantage of highly customizable templates.

• Native bi-directional CAD access for CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, and NX
• Import IGES, Parasolid, CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, ACIS, STEP and STL data for FE modeling
• Interactive CAD cleaning with auto curve, shell, and solid meshing

Engine block structural thermal analysis

Engineers can perform integrated multidisciplinary analyses on virtual prototypes ranging from components to complex systems. This enables simulation of product behavior under real-world loading and environmental conditions, including the complex interactions between engineering disciplines, without the inefficiencies of deploying multiple point technologies or relying on costly physical prototypes.
