SIMSOLID Now Commercially Available
Next generation structural simulation product for design engineers
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada. (January 4, 2016) – SIMSOLID Corporation is proud to announce
SIMSOLID, the first structural simulation product with new technology created specifically for the design
engineer. Most notable, SIMSOLID contains new methods that eliminates geometry simplification and
meshing, the two most time consuming and expertise extensive tasks done in traditional FEA. Moreover,
SIMSOLID can analyze complex parts and large assemblies not practical with traditional FEA and do it
efficiently on a desktop class computer.
“SIMSOLID solves a fundamental problem” says SIMSOLID Corporation CEO Ken Welch, “being able to
directly analyze fully featured CAD geometry without meshing opens simulation to a whole new group
of users and applications.”
The SIMSOLID computational engine is based on breakthrough extensions to the theory of external
approximations. External approximations are a generalization of Finite Element Method (FEM) in terms
that:


absolutely arbitrary geometrical shapes can be used as “finite elements”
basis functions which approximate field of interest in the part volume can be of arbitrary class
and are independent of the volume shape
SIMSOLID does not use the point-wise degrees of freedom (DOF) inherent in traditional FEA. SIMSOLID
DOF are functionals with geometrical support in the form of volumes, areas, line clouds, and point
clouds. This provides the ability to handle geometrical imperfections, as well as assembly contact
imperfections like gaps, penetrations and ragged contact areas.
What Beta users are saying
“The ability to analyze large models without having to simplify them first is a definite timesaver” says
Leif Erickson, VP Engineering, Cenairus Energy Services Ltd., Canada.
“SIMSOLID is the way to make the complex engineering problems easier” says Zoltán Szabó, CEO,
Complex Engineering Ltd., Hungary.
“SIMSOLID, with its meshless technology, removes yet another barrier between having to be a specialist
and getting a job done. It is structural analysis for everyone ” says Christopher Schaefer, Engineer,
Gardner-Denver Thomas Inc., USA.
