SimSolid
  • What's New

    View new features for SimSolid 2022.3.

  • Get Started

    Learn the basics and discover the workspace.

  • Tutorials

    Discover SimSolid functionality with interactive tutorials.

  • Interface with External Products

    Interfaces that support SimSolid output file format.

  • Geometry

    Information about treatment and properties of geometric entities in SimSolid.

  • Assembly

    Summary of available functionality for defining the properties and behavior of parts in the model.

  • Connections

    Connections are used to define the association of different regions of interest between parts in an assembly.

    • Regular Connections

      Regular connections can be used to define contact-based connections between parts in an assembly.

    • Welds

      Welding is a process that joins materials, usually metals by using heat or pressure.

      • Fillet and Seam Welds

        In SimSolid, seam welds are modeled as full 3D solid bodies.

      • Spot and Laser Welds

        A spot weld connects two parts over a circular area on the contacting surfaces. A laser weld connects the contacting surfaces over an area created from solids or strip created along a user-drawn line or a polyline.

    • Adhesives

      Structural adhesives are simulated as thin layers of adhesive material associated with a connection.

    • Virtual Connector

      Virtual connectors are rigid imaginary parts created between selected faces/spots representing geometrical support of the connector.

    • Connection Review

      A table that shows all connections in a specified design study.

    • Review Part Connection Locations

      Diagnose connection problems.

    • Review Part Connections

      Review connections on selected parts.

    • Show Disconnected Groups

      Identify groups of parts that are disconnected from the model.

  • Create Analysis

    Create an analysis for your project.

  • Boundary Conditions

    Boundary Conditions available for SimSolid.

  • Post Processing

    Run analyses and view a variety of results in SimSolid.

  • Design Study

    Design studies allow you to quickly evaluate and compare the structural performance from different design scenarios.

  • Verification Problems

    Solved verification models.
