Import of 3D CAD data via IGES from any source without exception
Import 3D faceted models via STL or VRML and reverse engineer back to geometry
Import AutoCad DXF files
Utilize powerful geometry cleaning and editing tools to remove slivers and relax sharp corners
Quickly build new models from scratch with the easy to use sketcher tool
Produce quality meshes with full density control within minutes
Apply loads and moments as realistic variable pressures using either built in or user specified formulas, thus avoiding the undesirable affects of using rigid body elements to spread loads
Create near perfect load balanced models without hassle for even the most complex of 3D geometries and so keep your restraints to the absolute minimum
Analyse with the integrated solver or solve your model using a seamless interface to Abaqus, Lusas, Nastran or CalculiX
Comprehensive results processing including contour plots on planar cuts, load and moment summation on a planar cut and contours of result attributes defined by user equations - dynamic mode shape presentation of third party solutions for natural frequency analysis
Import legacy meshes and apply new loads and boundary conditions or reverse engineer back to a geometry model
Sketcher Tool
Use the sketcher tool to quickly and easily create 2D section profiles.
Ideal for 2D or axisymmetric analyses, or for creating solids by extrusion.
Or even just for listing section properties, if that is all you are after.
