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 modeling 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 optimize designs before manufacturing—increasing efficiency, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs, and decreasing errors. - CAD support—Direct, associative data exchange with most CAD software.
- Modeling 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.
