 | | | Simplify system management and reduce overhead |  How can you improve structural analysis processes, while eliminating the need for data transfer, reducing system overhead and lowering maintenance requirements? Structural analysis solutions provide a single software environment to integrate design and analysis into one efficient process. |
| | | | Technology to help your design process | Structural analysis solutions offer an integrated analysis tool for product lifecycle management. Our solution provides tools that: - Require no geometry translation
- Provide an easy-to-learn and consistent user interface
- Leverage your data with an extensive knowledge-based set of analysis tools
- Enable leading-edge surface and solid meshing
- Maintain openness to industry standard solvers
|
| | | | User-friendly software | Structural analysis solutions can allow an entire network of companies—working together to conceptualize, design, analyze, build and support products—to operate as a single entity. The common CAD environment and the generative and associative, specification-driven capability of our analysis solutions allow more mechanical behavior, and sizing assessments of parts and assemblies earlier in the product development process.
Users can review their design in a digital mock-up design environment. This provides a real idea of the mechanical behavior and an opportunity to improve and optimize the design early in the development cycle.
Structural analysis solutions from IBM run on certified IBM IntelliStation® workstations and may include: - Generative Part Structural Analysis 2—provides a user-friendly environment and acts as a backbone for additional analysis products
- Generative Assembly Structural Analysis 2—provides the user with the capability of generative analysis on assemblies
- Elfini Structural Analysis 2—performs advanced pre-processing, solving and post-processing
- FEM Surface 2—generates associative mesh from complex surface parts
- Tolerance Analysis of Deformable Assembly 3—easily predicts the tolerance specified on an assembly
- DMU Engineering Analysis Review 2 (ANR)—provides analysis visualization, navigation, animation, and interference checking in a digital mock-up environment, using less hardware resources

| | | | IBM implementations | Structural analysis solutions include installation experts who can install and customize engineering environments—from hardware and software, to complete network management—whether you have one or thousands of seats in a single location or sites worldwide.
In one implementation of CATIA V5 - Analysis, IBM helped a major producer of suspension and joints shorten their production cycle from one or two months to three or four days. Our solution helped convert a previously manual design process into a complete product process from design to manufacturing, including the generation of documentation.
For an aircraft parts design company, our solution helped improve their process by 20% and reduce error rates by eliminating the need for data translation between applications. |
| | | | Single software environment | IBM can help you manage your systems more cost-effectively. - Leverage your existing technology investments by implementing open-standards based solutions.
- Capitalize on your investment as you grow with a scalable solution that operates with emerging technology.
- Reduce system overhead with one software environment to maintain.
