Digimat material models provide the means to combine processing simulation with structural FEA. This means to move towards more predictive simulation by taking into account the influence of processing conditions on the performance of the finally produced part. As an efficient and predictive tool Digimat helps its users to design and manufacture innovative composite materials and parts with great efficiency in time and costs.

    CAEplex

    CAEplex

    Seamplex

    Just open a regular web browser such as Firefox or Chrome and search online for “caeplex.” It works in any operating system such as Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux, iOS, Android, etc. The computations are performed on our servers so CAEplex works on any existing PC, laptop, tablet or phone without requiring any hardware update nor maintenance. No need to buy a new computer nor to add RAM to your oldie one. Our killer feature: “ease and speed.” A CAEplex case can be solved from scratch down to the results in less than one minute thanks to our 3-step workflow. If you know a faster FEA app, please let us know. CAEplex can be used from any mobile device such as a tablet or phones, no matter how old or wrecked. Access and show your work from any location at any time. Enjoy working in an agile development leveraging simulation (we rather say “modeling”), additive manufacturing, and mobile online collaboration.

    Amphyon

    Amphyon

    Oqton

    Additive Works provides software solutions aiming at a "first-time-right" additive manufacturing process by integrating new analysis and simulation tools into the process chain of Laser Beam Melting processes (LBM, SLM, DMLS, Metal 3D Printing). Driven by current requirements and challenges of industrial additive manufacturing, the software suite Amphyon aims to significantly reduce pre-processing costs and take metal AM to the next level of automation. The ASAP-Principle describes four ideal steps on the way to a stable, efficient and reliable process chain: Assessment, Simulation, Adaption and the Process itself. By examining all possible build-up orientations with respect to economical and physical aspects of the process on the Assessment stage, both, limitations of the design and optimal orientations can be calculated.
