About Altair SimSolid

Altair SimSolid is a game-changing simulation and structural analysis tool for designers, engineers, and analysts. By eliminating geometry preparation and meshing, structural performance can be validated within minutes on fully featured CAD assemblies, saving time and reducing errors.

Unlike traditional FEA tools, SimSolid works directly with complete CAD models, enabling quick evaluation of complex designs without modification. This speeds up the simulation cycle for faster iterations and early validation. It’s powerful, fast, and accurate simulation helps engineers make quicker decisions and accelerate product development. By enabling exploration of more design scenarios with high accuracy, SimSolid allows teams to bring quality products to market faster and stay ahead of the competition.

Key features

• SimSolid offers linear and nonlinear statics, thermal analysis, modal analysis, fatigue analysis, and stress linearization.
• Supports dynamic analysis simulations, including time, frequency, global-local, buckling, composites, squeak and rattle, thermal stress, and random response, enabling fast and comprehensive structural evaluation.
• Supports bonded, sliding, and separating contacts with friction, along with bolts, virtual connectors, welds, rivets, adhesives, joints, and bushings.
• Handles a wide range of material types, including isotropic, orthotropic, elasto-plastic, rigid materials, gas and liquid bodies.
• Simulate how a design interacts with its environment including: immovable, sliding, hinge, force, pressure, gravity, thermal, inertial loads, inertia relief, bolt/nut tightening, hydrostatic, bearing, volumetric expansion and shrinkage, distributed and remote mass, and remote loads.
• Supports all major CAD and PLM file formats, including CATIA, NX, PTC Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, JT, STEP, VDA, Parasolid, ACIS, PLMXML, CGR, and STL without the need to import/export files.
• View various result types using contour plots, animations, XY plots, probes, and detailed data on stress, strain, displacement, safety factors, modal frequencies, mode shapes, and participation factors.
• Results can be displayed across datum planes or cut sections, with support for superposition and envelope of multiple load cases.
• Import CAD models, automatically classify parts by type, and begin analysis without manual cleanup.
