Solid Edge Simulation
Powerful simulation functionality embedded inside Solid Edge
Solid Edge simulation software is the key to taking superior products to the market faster and at less cost. The Siemens portfolio of best-in-class simulation software delivers compressed timescales of product development workflows in the creation and testing of the digital twin. Solid Edge Simulation significantly reduces the need for physical prototypes, lowering your material and testing costs and saves design time. The software is based on Femap finite element modelling and Simcenter Nastran technology.
Scalability to Simcenter
The core simulation technologies used in Solid Edge Simulation are based on, and scalable, to the Siemens Simcenter products. This allows you to quickly edit and update geometry from any source. Simcenter Femap can automatically be launched from within Solid Edge. All Solid Edge programs work together in a seamless way to save you time that you can spend on developing new products.
Finite element model creation
Create finite element models for sheet metal and solid structures automatically. Make adjustments to refine the mesh and improve accuracy of results. For assemblies, Solid Edge simulation software offers automatic contact detection and sets up realisting component interaction. This includes iterative linear and glued contact. Beam analysis measures the amount of stress on beams to analyse if it is overbuilt.
Provide high-quality mesh with minimum effort. Control mesh without the need for parameters. Therefore, allow structural and thermal simulations to be run on mesh bodies.
Boundary condition definition
Leverage the boundary condition definitions needed to model realistic operating environments for analysis inside Solid Edge Simulation. Validate thermal and cooling performance like transient heat transfer with time history results. Constraints and loads are geometry based and easy to set up by using Quick Bat input handles and options.
Satisfy the increasing demands for high performance and efficiency of hydraulic systems. Determine the maximum and minimum pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the effect of gravity.
Import fluid pressure and temperature results for Solid Edge Simulation from Simcenter FLOEFD as structural loads for analysis.
Results Post Processing
It is easy to understand and interpret the resulting model behaviour quickly with the comprehensive graphical post-processing dashboard. Synchronous technology makes it easy to accomplish needed design changes when refinement is needed.
Solving FEA
Understand how a product will perform throughout its operational cycle and in the real world. Evaluate and visualise how parts will interact within the assembly.
You can conduct beam analysis with Solid Edge Simulation that checks to see if assemblies are overbuilt to save manufacturing resources based on the amount of stress on the beams.
Determine the natural frequencies of a part of assembly in free vibration. Also determine the expected relative displacements of the structure at natural frequencies.
Simulate vibration levels, including displacement and acceleration, in the specified range of frequency based on the defined excitation forces. In Solid Edge Simulation the calculation can be done very quickly and efficiently by using modal superposition.
Validate cooling and thermal performance like the transient heat transfer with time history results. Perform thermal stress analysis and steady-state heat transfer analysis to analyse thermal conditions on electromagnetic or mechanical assemblies.
