CAPABILITIES
Pre-Processing
Pre-processing involves preparing the model for analysis. This includes:
- Geometry Import & Cleanup: Import CAD models and repair geometry for simulation readiness.
- Meshing: Generate high-quality meshes tailored to the physics of the problem (structural, thermal, CFD).
- Material & Property Assignment: Define material behaviors, boundary conditions, and loading scenarios.
- Model Setup: Configure solver-specific parameters for accurate simulation
Post-Processing
Post-processing focuses on interpreting simulation results for actionable insights. This includes:
- Visualization: 2D/3D result plots, animations, and contour maps.
- Data Analysis: Extract stresses, deformations, temperature distributions, and performance metrics.
- Reporting: Create detailed reports and share results with stakeholders
Both tools enable engineers to validate designs efficiently and optimize product performance.
