Traditional FEA Wasn’t Built for the Speed of Modern Design
Most structural simulation tools still expect you to clean up CAD geometry, build a mesh, and wait — sometimes hours, sometimes days — before you see a single result. By the time the analysis is done, the design has often already moved on. That’s fine for late-stage validation. It’s a poor fit for the fast, iterative decisions engineers need to make early in the design cycle.
Simcenter SimSolid takes a different approach. It works directly on your manufacturing-ready CAD geometry — no defeaturing, no mesh generation, no waiting on a high-end GPU. That means your team spends less time preparing the model and more time actually engineering.
Why Engineering Teams Are Switching to Simcenter SimSolid
No Meshing Required
Skip geometry simplification and mesh generation entirely. Simcenter SimSolid runs its analysis directly on your CAD model, removing the two steps that traditionally eat up the most engineering time — and the two steps most likely to introduce error.
Analyze Faster
Where conventional FEA can take hours or days per iteration, Simcenter SimSolid delivers results in minutes. That’s enough of a speed jump to run several design variations in the time it used to take to set up one.
Work Directly on CAD
Import full assemblies — hundreds or thousands of parts — straight from your CAD or PLM system and validate them as-is. No file conversion headaches, no geometry cleanup pass before you can even start.
Accelerate Innovation
Faster analysis cycles mean design decisions get validated earlier, when changes are cheap, instead of late, when they’re expensive. Fewer late-stage surprises, shorter design cycles, better first-pass yield.
How It Works
Simulation-Driven Design, Without the Simulation Bottleneck
Import your CAD assembly as-is
Simcenter SimSolid supports all major CAD and PLM formats, so there’s no rework needed before you begin.
Skip the mesh
the software’s underlying mathematical formulation removes the need for traditional meshing, working directly on the solid geometry instead.
Set up loads and connections
apply real-world boundary conditions and let the software automatically detect bolts, welds, bearings, and other connections from your CAD data.
Get results in minutes
review stress, displacement, thermal, modal, and fatigue results without the multi-hour wait typical of mesh-based solvers.
Iterate as many times as you need
because each run is fast, you can compare design options instead of committing to just one.
