Altair SimSolid
By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. It eliminates geometry preparation and meshing: the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive and error-prone tasks performed in a conventional structural simulation.
Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. Early CAD models, in any common format, can be used. SimSolid tolerance of imprecise geometry means that, unlike CAD-embedded simulation tools, there is no need to simplify complex geometries before analyzing designs.
SimSolid supports all typical connections (bolt/nut, bonded, welds, rivets, sliding) and analysis of linear static, modal, thermal properties, along with more complex coupled, nonlinear, transient dynamic effects.

3D InterOp
Spatial's 3D Interoperability is the industry-leading 3D CAD data translation software development toolkit. It enables your customers to work with imported 3D data as easily as if it was created natively in your own application, as well as export the 3D data for downstream engineering applications. 3D InterOp’s architecture enables users to optimize the interaction with their 3D data. 3D InterOp supports 3D file sharing between all major 3D/CAD data exchange formats that are required in leading engineering applications and supports 3D CAD/CAM data exchange for any modeler including 3D ACIS Modeler, CGM Modeler, and Parasolid. Our SDKs have converted CAD files successfully millions of times more than competing software. So you'll be more likely to catch (and automatically heal) virtually all common errors in your geometry.
