Accurately Analyze Steel Joints in 90 Seconds with Altair SimSolid

With no need for CAD clean-up and FEA meshing, structural engineers and facade engineers can use Altair SimSolid to meet deadlines and avoid costly redesign cycles. Altair SimSolid reads raw and imperfect CAD, and in minutes, can simulate and evaluate large structural models without the effort required of a classical FEM approach. Altair SimSolid handles any size of structural model, including those comprised of hundreds of parts and connections. Altair SimSolid is ideal for both FEM veterans and for companies without dedicated FEA specialists that still want to perform structural analysis.

All SimSolid Use Cases

Altair Inspire - Geometry Repair and Editing

Create, modify, and de-feature solid models using Inspire's modeling tools. Leverage the speed and accuracy of SimSolid to evaluate multiple variants.

Use Cases

Altair Inspire - Assembly Configuration and SimSolid Integration

Create multiple assembly configurations which can then be used to evaluate various design scenarios and the resulting concepts.

Use Cases

Altair Inspire - Rapid Design Changes with the Speed and Accuracy of SimSolid

Altair Inspire now integrates Altair SimSolid for fast, accurate structural analysis of complex assemblies, as independently validated by NAFEMS. In this short demonstration we'll show how to analyze the structural performance of an agricultural seeder, applying geometry modifications in seconds.

Use Cases

Belt Feeder Simulation using EDEM and SimSolid

In this video EDEM was used to simulate and analyze the discharge of bulk materials on a belt feeder. A structural analysis of the equipment was performed by coupling EDEM with SimSolid in order to assess the impact that the bulk material loads have on the equipment.

Use Cases

Frontloading with Simulation at the Designer's Desk

Discover how to reduce product development time with Altair SimSolid, a new technology to analyze the structural performance of complex assemblies that operates on original, un-simplified CAD geometry directly.

Use Cases

Using Altair Software for Simulation-driven Design

The widespread adoption of Altair SimSolid™ has enabled customers to accurately test more ideas during each design iteration. Altair Inspire™ was the first tool to democratize topology optimization. Altair Inspire now embeds the speed and accuracy of SimSolid supporting faster, easier design exploration and product creation for allowing design engineers, product designers, and architects to create and investigate structurally efficient concepts for complex assemblies.

Use Cases

Altair SimSolid - Simulate at the Speed of Design

By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. In this short demo, we'll show how the structural performance for different variants of a CubeSat can quickly be evaluated and compared.

Use Cases

Assembly Configuration using Altair Inspire with SimSolid Integration

Use Cases

Evaluate the Largest Assemblies in Minutes with SimSolid

Moving stage for the Qintai Culture & Art Center in Wuhan, China. The CAD assembly used for the analysis consisted of 7738 parts, including hundreds of bolts and welds. It required approx. one hour to import and setup the model, 30 minutes to solve the analysis on a regular laptop. SimSolid model created by: INNEO. Image source: SBS Bühnentechnik GmbH
