Mechanical Simulation Software Autodesk® Simulation software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, provides a range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers and engineers make decisions earlier in the engineering design process. Support for multi-CAD environments and extensive finite element modelling tools help manufacturers study initial design intent and accurately predict product performance. Companies worldwide use Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical and Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics software to validate and optimise designs before manufacturing - increasing efficiency, minimising reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs and decreasing errors. - CAD support - Direct, associative data exchange with most CAD software.
- Modelling and meshing - Create finite element models and meshes using tools and wizards designed to improve productivity and simulation accuracy.
- Static stress and linear dynamics - Study structural response of designs.
- Mechanical event simulation - Enhance design decisions by using multibody dynamics with support for large-scale motion, large deformation and large strain with body-to-body contact.
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation - Study thermal characteristics of designs and perform accurate, detailed fluid flow analysis.
- Multiphysics - Study multiple physical factors acting simultaneously by combining results from different analysis types.
