Simmetrix Inc. (Clifton Park, NY), a provider of component software for simulation-based design and CAD/CAE integration, released Simulation Modeling Suite 6.3, which includes new capabilities including the extension of abstract modeling to include Simmetrix’ innovative Abstract Reasoning methodology. This lets users minimize the requirement for entity tagging in the source system. The company calls this approach to analysis modeling revolutionary, as it provides all necessary support to simulation-based design, design space exploration, robust engineering, and simulation data management.
Another enhancement is the definition of simulation-related model data, which provides required data often missing in design data (e.g., capping faces, bounding boxes, bounding spheres, bounding cylinders, etc.). Combined with Simmetrix’ ability to create inverse volume data, this is said to be a breakthrough for using mechanical assembly data for far-field physics simulations such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), electromagnetic (EM), radiation, and others.
The multi-threaded meshing technology allows for ongoing meshing performance improvements based on today’s multi-core desktop workstation architectures.
Other enhancements to the geometry access technology include enhanced assembly modeling, upgraded modeling kernel interfaces, extended CAD interfaces, and improved use of discrete (STL, mesh, or other facet) data as geometry. GeomSim CAD interfaces have been extended to now include Pro/ENGINEER, Wildfire, NX, and SolidWorks.
