Perform Advanced Simulations in the Cloud

Structural Mechanics Engineer is a simulation role featuring Abaqus® technology that enables SOLIDWORKS® users to perform both simple and complex non-linear structural simulations by leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. Not only can you run simulations on the cloud, but you can safely store your data on the platform to access it anytime for easy collaboration, from anywhere on any connected device.

Scalable and Flexible

Run simulations on your local computer or on the cloud. With HPC on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can run more time-consuming simulations.

Seamless Workflow

Access Structural Mechanics Engineer directly from SOLIDWORKS to work on your model. When your CAD model changes in SOLIDWORKS, you can update the simulation model in just a few clicks.

Easily Track and Share

With all your data on the cloud, you can easily track data, enable traceable revisions and easily collaborate and share data with stakeholders through a web browser, and make decisions faster.

Solve Complex Engineering Problems with Confidence

Embedded Abaqus technology enables you to tackle larger, more complex structures. Key capabilities include:

Conduct structural linear and nonlinear static, low and high-speed dynamic, thermal, and internal acoustic simulations
Solve nonlinear dynamic problems, such as impact or drop test, post-buckling, and random vibrations
Handle coupling of multiple non-linearity effects, complex contact with small or large assemblies
Find the best design based on performance objectives, using design exploration with SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE parameters

Explore a Wide Range of Materials

Material options and material calibration capabilities ensure relevant material model selection and accurate behavioral modeling. Features include:

Use test data to calibrate model behavior and get realistic results with the Material Calibration capabilities
Use the material library to define the right behavior, including non-linear properties such as hyper-elasticity and plasticity
Create stunning visuals with material rendering

Stay Productive with Time-Saving Tools

Structural Mechanics Engineer is equipped with tools to help you get started fast and ensure an efficient workflow. Highlights include:

The User Assistant provides an interactive guided set-up and guided simulation workflows so you can work fast and efficiently
Automate trade-off studies with Parametric Design Study
Geometry Simplification prepares geometry for simulations on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Enables collaborative decision-making across the organization using online dashboards to review and compare design alternatives
