Structure, fatigue and crash
Shape is the tool of choice for interactive design optimization when working with complex FEA phenomena.
Predict the results of many load cycles and non-linear contact simulations. Fatigue simulations require to emulate a series of load cycles.
Transient simulations. With Shape, you can predict the multiple time steps of a simulation in one shot.
We are not limited a single deformation field, but it can be evolving in time.
Frequency response and vibrations
With Shape, you can predict in a second the response of a specific design accross a range of excitation frequency. This is particularly adapted to NVH analysis in the automotive industry.
Topology optimization without limits. We can take into account fatigue or contact issues.
The optimization module within Shape has the flexibility to produce shapes as advanced and refined as you would obtain with a standard topology optimizer, but does not restrain the application field to fast, simple, linear simulation.
