Integrated Solutions

• Simufact

  Simufact is a leading FEA based simulation solution for metal forming, welding and heat treatment. With the ability to simulate the entire manufacturing process chain, starting from blanking, shearing of wires or billets, to multi-stage forming, punching, trimming, and heat treatment followed by joining operations, welding and structural analysis, Simufact helps optimize the manufacturing processes, and reduce costs and time-to-market, while improving product quality.

  
• Digimat

  Todays' major challenge is the shift from metal to composite in order to bring significant weight saving in the design. This paradigm however requires a dedicated tool for composite design in order to take into account the specific composite behavior. Classical design tools are not able to describe accurately the local composite material behavior, leading to introduction of safety factors and lack of confidence in the design.
  
  Digimat technology provides design tools that give the user 100% confidence in their composites products thanks to an accurate description of the local composite behavior. Accurate material modeling allows one to reduce the "factor of safety" - allowing composite materials to used to 100% of their potential, maximizing their competitiveness against metal and leading to substantial weight reduction. Digimat tools integrate smoothly within the current FEA process, bridging the gap between manufacturing process and structural analysis.
  
  Digimat technology connects the whole value chain together (Material Suppliers, Tier1 and OEMs) and helps to:
  
      Investigate and predict the behavior of a large mix of composite materials
      Design & Manufacture Innovative High-Performance Composite Parts
      Minimize weight, cost and time-to-market optimal composite industrial parts
      Improve prediction of structural FEA by accounting for manufacturing process
      Reduce material testing and prototyping
  
  More than just software, Digimat brings and organizes together the complete composite market, bridging the gap between manufacturing and performance. Digimat lets engineers do both micro- and macro-scale analyses of composites, predicting how they will perform and calculating their mechanical, thermal and electrical properties for use in all sorts of downstream FEA analyses.

Mid-Sized Business Solutions

• SimWise4D

  SimWise 4D là một công cụ phần mềm cho phép thực hiện chức năng của mô phỏng các chi tiết và lắp ráp cơ khí. Kết hợp mô phỏng động lực học đa vật thể 3D và phân tích phần tử hữu hạn (FEA) và tối ưu chạy trên nền  Windows, là một sản phẩm CAD tầm trung, mức giá hợp lý cho mỗi kỹ sư. Các module trong của SimWise 4D bao gồm: Motion và FEA, những công cụ mạnh mẽ và mang lại lợi ích thực sự khi chúng kết hợp với nhau trong  SimWise 4D.
  Những thiết kế trong đó có các chi tiết chuyển động, việc này gặp nhiều thách thức như “Liệu bản thiết kế có làm việc không? Có hư hỏng không?”, “Làm sao để thiết kế tốt hơn?”, “Tuổi thọ được bao lâu?”
  Những lực động học rất khó để tính toán và ứng suất của chi tiết sinh ra bởi chuyển động thậm có còn khó  định lượng hơn. Nhiều bản thiết kế được kiểm tra trong phòng thí nghiệm, hoặc tạo mẫu thử kiểm tra trong môi trường thực. Nếu có chục chặc thì bản thiết kế phải được xem lại và quy trình lặp lại, việc này lãng phí nhiều thời gian và chi phí của doanh nghiệp.
  SimWise 4D cho người dùng khám phá chức năng hiệu quả và thiết kế trước khi tạo mẫu thử. Người dùng quản lý được hiệu suất về thời gian và chi phí vì việc tạo mẫu thử là không cần thiết nếu bạn không tự tin vào bản thiết có như dự định hay không. Với những khả năng của SimWise 4D, nó sẽ trở thành một phần không thể thiếu trong quy trình thiết kế của bạn.

MSC Apex

• MSC Apex MidSurface

  MSC Apex is reinventing the process through the creation of a technology foundationwhich includes direct modeling integrated with meshing, and a new flexible approach to setting up mid-surfacing. This technology dramatically accelerates the time that it takes while reducing the skill level required to create solver ready mid-surfaced parts.
  The solution is applicable to injection molded plastics, metals, and composites.

  
• MSC Apex Structure

  MSC Apex Structures is an add-on product which expands MSC Apex Modeler functionality with capabilities for linear structural analysis.
  MSC Apex structures packages a user interface for scenario definition and results post-processing, as well as integrated solver methods. This solution is unique in that it combines computational parts and assemblies technology with a generative framework, which enables interactive and incremental analysis.
  The integration of the user interface with solver methods gives the user a unique ability to interactively and incrementally validate that FEM models are solver ready. At the user’s demand, a series of solver checks can be run against individual parts and assemblies and the model diagnostics are reported in the Analysis Readiness panel. This Incremental Validation is a radical departure from the very time consuming traditional approach where pre/post processor and solver are separate.
  In addition, with Computational Parts and Assemblies, MSC Apex Structures is a true parts-based solution, where each part behavioral representation (Stiffness, mass, and damping) can be pre-computed and stored independently. This approach is especially efficient when combined with the MSC Apex generative framework, as the solver execution will only re-compute behavioral representations for parts that have changed since the last solver execution. We call this Incremental Solving. This new solver architecture is especially efficient in the context of trade studies.
