Structural Simulation Program

“The structural simulation program reveals how our products will perform under loads in a real-world environment.” The structural simulation program allows our design engineers to understand, evaluate, and optimize the structural performance of their designs under loads in a real-world environment. This is done during the early stages of the product development. For complex problems, the program automatically generates a finite element mesh model of the part. The program is integrated within our computer aided design system. Post processing allows our engineers to view the results of...
