30-Second Summary Why Traditional FEA Falls Behind Traditional simulation is slow. Engineers lose time on CAD cleanup, meshing, and setup, with solve times stretching into hours or days. By then, design changes are costly. What SimSolid Offers SimSolid skips the prep work. Models import directly from CAD, with bolts and welds included. Connections are automated, … Read more
SimSolid Advanced – Fatigue Analysis In this blog, we outline the process of configuring, operating, and analysing a component experiencing a cantilever load subjected to cycles, necessitating a fatigue assessment. The stress-life fatigue theory, also known as SN theory, is used when a part is subjected to a large number of cycles with lower levels … Read more

Have you ever wondered how to model the effect of thermal expansion/contraction? SimSolid – Volume expansion Altair SimSolid™ enables “volume expansion/shrinkage” to be applied to a complete assembly or individual parts. This works similarly to thermal expansion on the body. A volumetric expansion of 100% would yield a similar result as the thermal load of … Read more
