2021 simulation software provides updates to solver technologies.
Accelerates simulation of real-world product performance and expands simulation-driven design for manufacturing functionality. Simulates 5G connectivity, electronic board-level performance, and modern manufacturing processes. Can develop smart, connected devices to collaborate on all aspects of physical, logical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical design. Provides more efficient PCB design review, verification, analysis, and manufacture for design of motors, sensors, and actuators with simulation. Updates include improved simulation and optimization of wireless connectivity, including 5G and electromagnetic compatibility; visual firmware development now supports more widely used microcontroller families; more capabilities for PCB fabrication, assembly, and end-of-line testing; expanded workflows simplify and automate analysis of structural stress, vibration, thermal, and drop-test performance for non-experts; expanded modeling and visualization user experience includes workflows that support entire topology modeling and meshing process. Modeling fidelity in complex models is improved with more realistic representations of connectors. Advanced physics models that require co-simulation of fluids and discrete elements, such as simulating particles in airflow, are now possible. Aeroelastic effects of aircraft wings can be analyzed to solve for flutter and other potential design issues. SimSolid simulation technology is faster. Inspire PolyFoam simulates molding of foam components and rigid foam panels with polyurethane foams used in industrial and household applications.
