Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

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.
Key benefits of using SimSolid
SimSolid’s unique technology completely eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time consuming, expertise extensive and error prone tasks
done in traditional FEA. With SimSolid, model preparation is done in minutes.
Analyze Complex Parts and Large Assemblies:
SimSolid has been designed to analyze complex parts and large assemblies not practical with traditional FEA. SimSolid is tolerant of imprecise geometry. Its assembly
connections are industry best at handling ragged contact surfaces with both gaps and overlapping geometry.
Advanced Automation Workflows:
SimSolid has intelligent workflows that let you create complex connections—spot welds, seam welds, bolted joints, adhesives and more—in minutes. These workflows reduce or entirely eliminate the model setup time when working with multiple design variants.
When importing a new design variant, SimSolid automatically maps materials, connections, loads and boundary conditions.
The software also allows the mapping of loads from an external file.
Rapid Design Feedback:
SimSolid is fast, real fast. Solution times are typically measured in seconds to minutes on a standard PC. With SimSolid, multiple design scenarios can be quickly
analyzed and compared. And, accuracy can be specified on an individual part level allowing a rapid drill down to any level of detail that is required.
