Tosca:

The Tosca optimization suite provides fast and powerful structural and flow optimization solutions based on FEA and CFD simulations. Tosca optimization suite consists of two products: Tosca Structure is for optimized structural designs, and Tosca Fluid provides optimized fluid flow design concepts.

Product Highlights Tosca Structure:

• Helps to find the design e.g. with maximum stiffness or minimum weight under functional specifications
• Helps to reduce mass through optimized sheet thickness

Product Highlight Tosca Fluid:

• Provides topology optimization of channel flow to reduce pressure drop

fe-safe:

fe-safe is a powerful, comprehensive and easy-to-use suite of software for fatigue analysis from finite element models. It is used with commercial structural analysis (FEA) software, to calculate:

• Where fatigue cracks will occur;
• hen fatigue cracks will initiate;
• The factors of safety on working stresses;

Product Highlights:

• Fatigue of welded joints
• Vibration fatigue
• Test program validation
• Critical distance methods for crack growth prediction
• Property mapping for casting or forging simulations

What’s new:

• Material and element enhancements
