Altair SimSolid is a structural analysis software developed specifically for rapidly evolving design processes. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming and expertise-extensive tasks done in traditional FEA, enabling the analysis of fully featured CAD assemblies in seconds to minutes without meshing.
In this very introductory course, students will be provided an introduction to the SimSolid philosophy as well as an overview of the interface. Additionally, a modal analysis and a linear structural analysis will be presented and discussed. Finally, students will perform exercises that setup a modal analysis and a linear analysis design study. A detailed video of each exercise is presented and students are provided the instructions (PDF) and model files.
