SimSolid overview
What is SimSolid?
SimSolid can analyze complex parts and large assemblies not practical with traditional FEA and do it efficiently on a desktop class computer. Both fast and accurate, SimSolid controls solution accuracy using a unique multi-pass adaptive analysis.The 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.
