Algoryx Simulation AB, a provider of interactive physics simulation solutions, and SpaceClaim, provider of flexible and affordable 3D modeling software for engineers, today announced Dynamics for SpaceClaim, a new real-time multibody simulation module for SpaceClaim Engineer that brings interactive physics to the everyday work of engineers and designers.
Dynamics for SpaceClaim by Algoryx brings 3D models to life with physics-based motion dynamics powered by Algoryx’ real-time physics engine, AgX Dynamics. Dynamics for SpaceClaim adds value to the entire design process, from conceptual studies to detailed mechanical analysis. Further, when used with Luxion KeyShot, the same simulations can also be used to produce high impact photo-realistic product videos for design reviews, sales and marketing.
”The market has never seen dynamics that can be built this easily and provide this much visual information regarding the physical performance of their work,” said Frank DeSimone, VP of software development for SpaceClaim.” Algoryx’s AgX physics engine provides outstanding compute performance, and the company’s novel approach to physics is very much in keeping with our philosophy of helping engineers perform advanced tasks in 3D without special training. In minutes, users will be able to see how their designs will function in the real world, potentially saving them hours of engineering.”
”We provide compute performance and a user experience that help engineers use simulations in their everyday work. Much of our focus is on the creative engineering process and solutions that enable designers, engineers, sales and marketing professionals to work much closer together,” said Anders Backman, CTO and co-founder of Algoryx.
Dynamics for SpaceClaim is immediately available for evaluation and purchase from all SpaceClaim resellers globally. More information can be found at http://www.algoryx.se/dynamics-for-spaceclaim/.
Key features include:
- Joints and contacts are automatically detected from the SpaceClaim models
- Based on discrete variational Lagrangian mechanics, documented in more than 20 scientific publications, and validated in numerous industry applications
- Very fast simulation, even for large systems with thousands of bodies and contacts
- Highly parallelized for modern multicore architectures with market leading solvers
- Sequence editor for configuration of motors and events
- Plotting tools for analysis, or data export to third party tools
- Simulations can update and replace the original model, and be used for modeling
- Export simulation to Luxion KeyShot for high-impact product videos
- Export models and simulations to Algoryx’ runtime environments for use in simulators, or for co-simulation with other CAE tools
