Simmetrix Inc. Releases Simulation Modeling Suite 5.3-A Broad Foundation for Simulation Modeling and Simulation-Based Design

Simmetrix Inc. announced the release of version 5.3 of the Simulation Modeling Suite.

"We are very excited to announce the release of Simulation Modeling Suite 5.3 with the introduction of the XportSim module and enhancements to our existing modules," said Joe Walsh, Vice President of Business Development at Simmetrix. "The addition of the XportSim module allows Simmetrix to provide a comprehensive base for next generation simulation modeling applications with enhanced persistence of analysis attributes, direct geometry access with small feature removal, automatic meshing, CAE results management, and mapping results between meshes. Our OEM customers can now further the state-of-the-art of simulation modeling applications and Simulation-Based Design."

Simulation Modeling Suite 5.3 adds a new functional module to support creation of run-ready data (XportSim) along with e support of small feature removal and attribute persistence to support automatic regeneration of analysis models throughout complex design changes. The following highlights some of the enhanced capabilities offered by Simulation Modeling Suite 5.3:

ModelSim Enhancements

•  Enhanced support of Abstract Model definition and persistence for ACIS, Granite, and Parasolid via native attributes.
•  Added the ability to create an Abstract Model from an assembly hierarchy.
•  Enhanced Abstract Model to handle Component classes.
•  Extended Components definitions to support more than one component class.
•  Enhanced query of the Abstract Model.
•  Enhanced general attribute management functionality.

MeshSim Enhancements

•  Enhanced curved element meshing.
•  Enhanced Boundary Layer meshing.
•  Introduced meshing of generalized extrusions
•  Added ability to spatially locate elements in a mesh
•  Extended mesh quality metrics

XportSim Released

•  Provides the ability to export data from Simulation Modeling Suite as run-ready data based on the use of "pattern" files.

FieldSim Enhancements

•  Added the ability to map a solution field from one mesh to a dissimilar mesh.
•  Added support for variable order polynomial fields
•  Enhanced support of time related fields.
•  Added interface to visualization tools.

GeomSim Enhancements

•  Enhanced small feature "removal" for removal of sliver edges and faces prior to meshing
•  Extended geometry calculations & interrogation for kernel access
•  Extended support of Pro/Engineer part and assembly files

Simmetrix Inc. is a provider of OEM component technology, software tools, and services for Simulation-Based Design and CAD/CAE integration. Simmetrix' customers include simulation modeling software developers that provide a broad range of analysis applications including mechanical, electro-magnetic, fluids (CFD), and MEMS simulation. Simmetrix' flagship product is the Simulation Modeling Suite, a comprehensive suite of component software tools to support Simulation Modeling directly from solid models providing problem definition, attribute management, CAE results management, and automatic mesh generation with support of mesh curving, mesh adaptivity, and anisotropic boundary layer mesh generation. The Simmetrix tools enable automated creation and management of simulation data suitable for finite element, finite volume, and boundary element analysis directly from design data. Simmetrix also provides custom Simulation-Based Design engineering solutions for manufacturing corporations and advanced research and development services related to simulation modeling and Simulation-Based Design.
