Altair SimLab
Simulations on multi-physics field combined with CAD data
1. Have you ever heard of Altair SimLab?
Altair SimLab is an engineering simulation software based on the finite element method, allowing for quick and accurate simulation of the engineering behavior of complex systems. SimLab automates modeling-simulation tasks to reduce human error, reduce the time it takes to manually create finite element models, and report results. SimLab is not a traditional preprocessing and post-processing software, but a development platform that enables rapid automation of simulation processes.

3. Salient features of Altair SimLab
3.1. Meshing
SimLab has another method for generating high quality mesh modeling. It shifts features from CAD models, such as fillets and cylinders, to finite element modeling. These features can be used later in the process without having to re-access the original CAD shape. There are many unique and useful tools for creating different types of grids in SimLab. A pattern modeling system combines all of these tools together into logical and automated processes geared towards creating the highest quality mesh modeling, compliant with the requirements of any type of analysis. Which: NVH, durability, fatigue, CFD, etc.
3.2. Automatically initialize the grid model
- 3D grid: tetrahedra and hexagons
- 2D grid: triangle and quadrilateral
- Initialize a 1D mesh to connect parts and contact faces
3.3. Meshing feature
- Automatically identify CAD features
- Apply basic geometry criteria to model meshes like cylinders, fillets, and holes
- Automatically detect the contact surface
- Meshing is based on the problem criteria and properties to suit each type of analysis, for example: strength, fatigue, acoustics.
3.4. Geometrical model
SimLab uses a unique approach to CAD geometry to quickly and accurately generate mesh models.
3.5. Altair SimLab reads the following CAD data:
- CATIA V5
- Pro / Engineer
- UG
- SolidWorks, SolidEdge, etc.
-
3.6. Model assembly management
- Powerful and comprehensive toolkit for handling complex modeling systems.
- Identify the connecting joints and contact surfaces
- Quickly divide boundary conditions among groups in a combination
- Library of popular connection elements
3.7. Force and boundary conditions
When working with complex models, average model sizes can easily reach millions of nodes and elements. Simlab provides advanced tools to guide users in managing tasks easily.
3.8. Simulation process characteristics
- Mapping the result from the fine mesh to the coarse mesh and vice versa
- Menu to adjust the bearing model
- Display of physical result fields on the model. (For example, results of thermal analysis on a structural model)
- Automatic sample model
- Modeling bolt
- Gasket, bearing force and bonding pattern
- Diverse material library
- Automatic link recognition and modeling
- Prepare convergence model for AVL to exist.
3.9. Post-processing
SimLab integrates a post-processing processor. In addition, custom processing tools like distortion and frequency response.
As such, Simlab is a process finite element modeling software that allows you to quickly and accurately simulate the technical behavior of complex clusters. Simlab automates modeling tasks to minimize human error and the time spent creating finite element modeling. Simlab is an application development platform that automates the simulation process.
