Simcenter (a.k.a. Simcenter 3D) directly addresses the challenges you face with simulation today through a modern and completely integrated environment that delivers significant benefits. Simcenter 3D does not require NX CAD and can be used as a standalone pre/ postprocessor with support for multi-CAD geometry.
Are you using simulation to drive innovation? HEEDS allows you to do this by changing the paradigm. You no longer start with a design and use simulation to only evaluate performance. You can now define desired performance and allow HEEDS and your simulation tools to help you identify good designs.
HEEDS automates and accelerates the engineering design space exploration process. Whether you need to improve performance of a simple component or a complex multidisciplinary system, HEEDS is flexible enough to find the design configurations that best satisfy your requirements.
HEEDS provides you with transparent and automatic distributed execution functionality that helps you accelerate the process of testing virtual prototypes. By using HEEDS, you can effectively leverage your existing hardware investment as the solution allows efficient use of all your hardware resources, including local, remote, cluster and cloud computing.
Most traditional design exploration tools require highly specialized optimization skills and simplification of models to allow for efficient search. However, by using HEEDS, you can streamline design exploration using your existing models no matter the complexity or number of parameters and constraints.
HEEDS provides users with the ability to easily compare performance over a wide spectrum of designs and find feasible design families that exhibit desirable characteristics and robustness. The software can help you understand design performance over any number of competing objectives and constraints.
Manage the complexity of smart, automated, and electrified devices that combine mechanics, electrics, electronics, and controls. Optimize system performance earlier in the design phase to increase product quality and decrease development time and expenses.
With Simcenter system simulation tools, you may analyze and balance potentially conflicting performance aspects (such as heat management, operability, drivability, or fuel-efficiency) from the early phases of development through final performance validation and controls calibration. You can quickly construct heterogeneous system simulation architectures and share your models with the worldwide engineering team to cope with an expanded number of requirements, use cases, and architectural variants. Furthermore, the notion of a digital twin has been expanded to on-board software engineering to assist you in bringing more successful products to market more quickly.

Femap is CAD-independent and can access geometry data from all major CAD systems. It can virtually model components, assemblies or systems and determine the behavioral response for a given operating environment. With the digital simulation capabilities of Femap, you can improve your product’s performance and reliability.
Import CAD models and use them as the basis for the simulation model. Leverage the Parasolid modeling kernel to access Parasolid data for surface and solid modeling.
Work with imported CAD data to identify, edit, modify and clean up complex 3D geometry. Femap can automatically remove or suppress unwanted small features not required for analysis.
Take full control of geometry meshing through a set of toolboxes that enable meshes to be modified and edited interactively, while simultaneously providing element quality feedback.
Femap is solver-neutral and provides in-depth pre- and post-processing support for all of the main commercial solvers, including NX Nastran, Ansys, LS-DYNA, Abaqus and TMG.
Simcenter 3D builds on a heritage which spans over 40 years and encompasses well known CAE brands like Simcenter Nastran, SDRC I-deas®. Simcenter 3D directly addresses the challenges you face with simulation today through a modern and completely integrated environment that delivers significant benefits. Simcenter 3D does not require NX CAD and can be used as a standalone pre/postprocessor with support for multi-CAD geometry. Simcenter 3D delivers additional benefits when used in situations where NX is used for design, such as seamless data transfer between the design team and analysis team.
Simcenter 3D delivers increased production speeds to your entire product development cycle so you can bring your products to market faster. More efficient simulation processes also lead to more innovation by allowing more design-analysis iterations that can be used to test more design alternatives and make critical design decisions earlier.
Your product quality is increased by more easily simulating real-world conditions. You get a truer understanding of how your product will perform. Simcenter 3D also facilitates easier trade-off analysis across multiple disciplines so you develop more robust products. Requirements tracking and reporting capabilities allow you to quickly gauge if your product is performing to specification.
You get lower overall product development costs. Faster simulation processes mean analysis results are fed back to design earlier, leading to a reduction in costly, late design change orders. Additionally, correlating simulation with physical testing provides more confidence in your analysis result so you reduce costly physical prototypes.
