- Rearrangement of nodes in failed elements
- Simultaneously Checks Warpage, Taper, Jacobian, Interior Angles, Aspect Ratio,
Element Size - Penetration Checking & Repair
- Quality Statistics
Topology Automeshing
- Automatically repairs any surface gaps/overlaps
- No user intervention or preparation of surface data
Solid Element Meshing
- Generate hundreds of thousands of elements in minutes
- Reliable, proven results
- Basic hex and tetra meshing capabilities
- Supports 4 or 10 noded tetra elements and 8 or 20 noded hex elements
Complete Material Library
- Allows the user to select from a variety of materials
Material Thickness Calculation Tool
- Uses an efficient one step metal forming analysis to predict sheet metal thinning based on final part shape
- Visualize and map predicted thickness profile onto FE mesh to approximately account for manufacturing effects without performing complete metal-forming analysis
