A rigid part is defined as a component that can undergo displacement and rotation under applied loads, but without any internal deformation or strain. Rigid parts behave as a perfectly stiff body where all points maintain their relative positions.
A Spots is a feature that enable applying loads, constraints, or other boundary conditions (BC) to local regions on the surface, instead of applying BC to the whole faces of the model
Define a local coordinate system to which boundary conditions may be later applied.
Import coordinate system from an external comma separated values (CSV) file. Multiple coordinates can be imported at once.
Create a line that can later be used to generate seam welds.
Create a sheet from an imported surface by applying thickness.
Create laminate from an imported skin
Define parts as bolts.
Define parts as protruded.
Replace a part in an existing assembly with an alternative design.
Define the material orientation of the part.
Create a Datum plane to use them as a clipping plane or to review the results along a cut-section.
Import datum point sets from an external comma separated values (CSV) file.
This function allows you to define a liquid body within your SimSolid model, representing the effects of an enclosed, inviscid, and incompressible fluid on your structure. It accounts for both the distributed mass and the stiffness contributions arising from the fluid's incompressibility.
Allows you to define and simulate a gas body at a certain pressure within a confined space, particularly for applications like Insulated Glass Units (IGUs)
You can clean up the geometry in your model by removing undesired parts.
Connections are used to define the association of different regions of interest between parts in an assembly.
Create an analysis for your project.
