Altair SimLab is a process-oriented, feature-based finite element modeling software that enables quick and accurate simulation of engineering behavior in complex assemblies. By automating simulation modeling tasks, SimLab reduces human errors and the time spent manually creating finite element models and interpreting results. Unlike traditional pre- and post-processing software, SimLab serves as a vertical application development platform for capturing and automating simulation processes. It supports multiple physics, including structural, thermal, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics, allowing users to set up analyses using highly automated workflows. This approach significantly reduces the time spent creating finite element models and interpreting results. SimLab's intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and bi-directional CAD coupling facilitate efficient geometry modifications, part variants, and assembly updates. Additionally, its robust, accurate, and scalable solvers can run locally, on remote servers, or in the cloud, providing flexibility and scalability for various simulation needs.
Features:
- Multiphysics Analysis: Perform linear and nonlinear structural, thermal, and computational fluid dynamics analyses seamlessly.
- Automation: Utilize feature recognition algorithms, process-oriented automation templates, and an intuitive GUI to accelerate the model-building phase.
- CAD Integration: Manage geometry modifications, part variants, and assembly updates efficiently through bi-directional CAD coupling.
- Robust Simulation Workflows: Enhance simulation cycle efficiency with shareable, repeatable workflows that eliminate manual meshing, model setup, solver execution, and post-processing.
- Optimization and Design of Experiments (DOE): Automate the setup of result evaluations, optimization, and DOE studies to streamline the design process.
