Revolutionising Engineering: How Simcenter Simsolid Eliminates Meshing and Saves Hours

For decades, design engineers have faced the same bottleneck: waiting for simulation results.
Traditional Finite Element Analysis (FEA) requires a highly specialized skillset. It demands hours—sometimes days—of geometry cleanup, simplifying CAD models, and troubleshooting complex mesh generation. By the time you get the data, the design has already moved on.
Simcenter Simsolid changes everything. By eliminating geometry cleanup and meshing entirely, Simsolid allows engineering teams to analyse complex CAD assemblies in minutes instead of hours.
The Problem with Traditional FEA Workflows
In a standard simulation workflow, an engineer cannot simply plug a CAD model into simulation software.
They must first:
De-feature the model: Remove bolts, rounds, holes, and small logos that crash the mesh engine.
Generate a mesh: Divide the complex geometric shape into thousands of tiny elements.
Fix mesh errors: Spend hours resolving poorly shaped elements or gaps.
This tedious process detaches simulation from the actual design phase. It becomes a verification tool used only at the very end of a project, rather than a tool used to guide early design choices.
How Simcenter Simsolid Disrupts the Status Quo
Simsolid utilizes completely non-traditional, advanced mathematics to analyse original CAD geometry directly. It operates with three distinct advantages:
Zero Geometry Cleanup: You do not need to simplify your models. Simsolid easily handles complex assemblies, including welded, bolted, and riveted joints.
No Meshing Required: By skipping the mesh generation phase completely, you eliminate the single biggest point of failure in traditional FEA.
Results in Minutes: Move from your original CAD layout to structural, thermal, or modal analysis results almost instantly.
Simulation for Every Design Engineer
Historically, advanced simulation was restricted to specialised analysis teams due to high software costs and steep learning curves.
Simsolid democratises this technology. It is built specifically for design engineers who need rapid feedback during the iterative phase of a project. If you can use CAD, you can leverage Simsolid to iterate faster, increase productivity, and drastically reduce physical prototyping costs.
