DESCRIPTION
This session will cover concepts behind Solid Edge’s simulation capabilities, that which is included in standard Solid Edge along with the advanced features available with Solid Edge Premium. This session is targeted toward designers and engineers who need an overview of simulation functionality. Key topics will include simulation options, setting up simulation studies, model preparation, the application of boundary conditions including forces and constraints, meshing, solving, and examining results. Additional topics will include the new features available in Solid Edge ST5. Examples of various component types will be presented and will include “thick” parts, sheet metal parts, and assemblies. Anyone interested in learning about Solid Edge’s engineering analysis capabilities should attend this session.

Simulation Steps
• Problem description
• Simplification
• Preprocessing
• Solving
• Post-Processing
• Results verification
• Design Engineer • Someone that splits time between Design and Analysis • Not a dedicated analyst – this is the domain of Femap • Often the “super designer” being asked to do more, faster
• Geometry Focused – Designers work with geometry, not nodes
• Process Oriented – Wizards or commands that step you through
• Synchronous – Easy geometry modification for analysis
• Built in Solver – SE Simulation uses NX Nastran
Vision for Solid Edge Simulation
• Integrated with Solid Edge • Familiar user interface backed by Femap Technology • Assembly Support • Full Complement of Loads and Constraints • Seamlessly Upgradeable from SE Simulation Femap • Custom Control of NX Nastran Solve • Extensive Post Processing and Report Generation • Easy Geometry modification using Synchronous modeling • Linear Statics, Modal, Buckling • Tetrahedral and Surface elements • Mesh Control
Benefits of Simulation
• Total Load Option • Reduce Time for Processing Results • United Bodies supports Manifold Topology • Meshing Improvements Integration • Display Mesh Size • Beam Support of Curved Frames • Results Display of Mixed and Shell Elements • Results “Show” Group • Plate Thickness
New in ST5 Simulation
• Steady State Heat Transfer Overview • Steady State/Transient • Conduction/Convection/Radiation • Pre-processing Interface • Temperature Load • Heat Flux Load • Heat Generation Load • Convection Load • Radiation Load • Iso Lines and Surfaces • Map Results from Output
New in ST5 Simulation
• Linear Static
