Structural Simulation
Finite Element Analysis for Mechanical and Civil Engineering
Advanced Structural Simulation Technology
Structural simulation using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and related technologies, offers a deep understanding of how products, assemblies, and processes respond to real-world conditions, including varying loads and temperature.
SIMULIA's structural simulation technology enables the creation of virtual prototypes, enabling the comprehensive evaluation of crucial performance indicators instead of relying on physical testing.
These indicators include stiffness, ensuring deformation is acceptable under normal use, and strength, upholding structural integrity even under the maximum design loads.
Safety guarantees predictable failure modes to protect consumers and bystanders. Durability/reliability ensures a consistent and predictable product lifespan, and robustness maintains performance consistency throughout design and manufacturing phases.
Adherence to industry standards for noise and vibration delivers a superior user experience, comfort assures positive interactions between humans and the product or process.
SIMULIA Structural Simulation Key Benefits
Accurate Predictions
Gain precise real-world structural insights of products under a wide range of loading conditions using Abaqus and fe-safe technologies.
Enhanced Product Quality
Achieve cost-efficiency and design issue prevention through early-stage structural simulations in a user-friendly interface integrated with CATIA or SOLIDWORKS design geometry.
Cost-efficient Prototyping
Virtual testing and simulation save costs and expedite time-to-market, covering everything from component analysis to complex assembly simulations with nonlinearities.
Strategic Impact of Structural Simulation
Structural simulation plays a pivotal role in achieving key business objectives, reducing risks, ensuring compliance with standards, and reducing time to market. Structural Simulation software enables users to:
- Minimize product complexity and cost
- Minimize risks of failure
- Optimize competitive positioning
- Satisfy corporate or government standards
- Accelerating product launches
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-Driven design insights reduce costs, eliminate errors, and shorten design cycles. Unlike typical prototype testing, virtual prototypes can tell you much more than pass/fail. It can tell you why a part can fail and can help you understand whether your improvements can prevent it from failing. And unlike physical testing, mechanical simulation is available 24/7/365.
SIMULIA Structural Analysis Technologies
The SIMULIA portfolio in the Structures domain includes products on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which are available on cloud, along with Abaqus, fe-safe, and Tosca Structure technologies.

SiminSitu EU Project with 4RealSim
SIMULIA is delighted to work with engineering leaders and academics as they leverage simulation capabilities to help shape the future of their industry. We had the opportunity to interview 4RealSim, a company specializing in high-end numerical analysis services. During the interview, we discussed how 4RealSim uses Abaqus in the SimInSitu EU project (http://www.siminsitu.eu/). SimInSitu aims to develop sophisticated in-silico methods to predict the short- and long-term behavior of in-situ tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHV) by combining advanced tissue remodeling algorithms with a personalized virtual heart modeling approach. The method will be specifically developed to predict the complex transformation process of biodegradable heart valves from the initially synthetic scaffold into a fully remodeled and functional valve.
