- 3. The Geometry Problem The geometry of CAD and FEA are Different Disparity between CAD and FEA geometry models needlessly complicates the analysis user paradigm and is the primary inhibitor blocking wider adoption of FEA in driving design workflows
- 4. The Geometry Problem Creates Complexity • Complexity in defeaturing, midplaning, geometry editing & cleanup • Complexity in meshing • Complexity in load creation and application • Complexity in solving All steps require many judgment calls, are labor-intensive, error prone and often requires experts in both simulation and CAD
- 5. The SIMSOLID Solution Reinvent the process of structural simulation 1. Provides a direct connection to Onshape cloud documents 2. Eliminates the need for CAD model simplification from structural analysis workflows 3. Eliminates meshing from structural analysis workflows 4. Provides adaptive analysis to control solution accuracy 5. Provides smart connectors to make assembly modeling easier and more robust 6. Provides superior performance metrics for computation time and memory footprint 7. Operates simply and efficiently as a lightweight desktop app
- 6. Benefit 1 - Process Improvement 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 SIMSOLID Traditional FEA Simplify Geometry Create Mesh Setup Analysis Solve Interpret Results SIMSOLID eliminates the two most time consuming and expertise extensive tasks of geometry simplification and meshing
- 7. Benefit 2 – Changing What’s Solvable FEA SIMSOLID Incorporate Large Assemblies and Complex Geometry
- 8. Application Example Analysis of Large Assemblies • Large assembly – 153 parts with varying thickness and size – Large and small scale parts – Thin walled tubular components – Complex floor grate – Bolted and welded connections • Direct from CAD – CAD geometry analyzed unaltered – All part connections auto-generated – Import, model & solve in under 14 minutes on desktop Core i7 • Solution not practical in current FEA systems
- 9. Application Example Eliminates Part Geometry Cleanup
- 10. Application Example Eliminates Part Geometry Simplification • Telescope housing complex machined base plate • 1,200+ faces, 150+ small holes • Solves in 4-min on desktop Core i7 • Solution not practical in current FEA systems

Editor's Notes
- #10: This is the big difference. Instead of isolating a small context
