The Optimum Environment for Expert Analysis

SimXpert is a fully integrated multidiscipline simulation workspace environment for analysts. Multidisciplinary workspaces provide a next generation CAE desktop that enables concurrent engineering analysis aligned with multidisciplinary views.

Integrated with MSC's advanced multidisciplinary (MD) solver technologies, SimXpert provides an efficient end-to-end solution that gives users native CAD access with bi-directional interoperability, pre-processing, solving, post processing, and report generation, and automation capabilities within a single easy-to-use solution.

Workspaces available include:

Structures

• Comprehensive linear and nonlinear finite element analysis
• Advanced FEA testing for stress, vibration, and contact

Motion

• Complete mechanical system simulation using multi-body dynamics of rigid and flexible bodies, including tests of different components, connections, and forces
• Enables analysis of overall system performance and creation of accurate load predictions

Thermal

• Complete thermal finite element analysis including: steady-state heat transfer, free/forced conduction, and thermo-mechanical coupling
• Tests different heat transfer paths

Crash

• High-performance environment for studying complex FE models for crashworthiness and safety applications
• Capabilities include dummy positioning, seat belt routing, airbag deployment, and explicit impact analysis

Explicit

• Advanced environment for performing large deformation, highly nonlinear, short duration transient dynamic analyses for both structural impact and coupled fluid-structure problems such as bird strike on airplanes and stent deployment in arteries

SimXpert offers additional integrated capabilities that further streamline and speed the analysis process:

Template Builder

• SimXpert Template Builder provides a visual interface for quickly automating manual and repetitive simulation tasks for reuse and consistency across the enterprise
• Intuitive, easy-to-use templates capture knowledge and best practices, and can be used to automate any step or series of steps within the SimXpert advanced workspaces and across multidisciplinary simulations

Smart Update

• Eliminates data translation by enabling analysts to import and work directly with native CAD geometry. Smart Update automatically updates the analysis model when changes are made to the parametric representation of the CAD model within a SimXpert session and across any of the workspaces
