About

Simcenter OptiStruct is a multiphysics and multidisciplinary simulation and optimization workhorse spanning implicit to explicit analysis. Its “One Model, One Solver” approach improves workflow efficiency, provides the analyses engineers need, and reduces time to results without compromising accuracy. True design innovation comes from assessing, refining, and optimizing the entire system within a single, integrated tool, and OptiStruct makes this possible. Engineers can assess multiple physics, including durability, heat transfer, acoustics, fatigue, and more, using one model to integrate structural and multiphysics analysis, streamline workflows, and accelerate time to market. Its open architecture allows teams to work with preferred tools, implement third-party code, and customize the software while maintaining the same model and solver methodology. OptiStruct sets the standard for optimization across lightweighting, structural, multi-model, nonparametric shape, and multi-material.

About

Simcenter Simsolid is a Siemens simulation and structural analysis tool that helps designers and engineers analyze fully featured CAD assemblies without geometry simplification or meshing. By removing two of the most time-consuming steps in traditional FEA, it allows teams to validate structural performance much faster. The software can handle large and complex assemblies, including models with rough contact surfaces, gaps, or overlapping geometry. Simcenter Simsolid delivers accurate results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, making it useful for rapid design comparison and simulation-driven development. It supports a wide range of analysis types, including linear and nonlinear statics, thermal analysis, modal analysis, fatigue analysis, dynamic simulations, buckling, composites, and random response. With CAD interoperability, advanced connections, materials, boundary conditions, and visualization tools, Simcenter Simsolid helps teams bring better products to market faster.
