Fatigue – Fatigue analysis has been added to the Dynamic add-in module that allows the designer to easily predict the lifecycle of parts using the built-in fatigue material data.Two-way synchronisation – The new two-way synchronisation between the analysis model and CAD model makes it faster for the design engineer to work between both states while having clear visibility between the design components and components used for analysis.Unlimited assembly size analysis – Eliminating size limitations on assemblies now extends the capabilities of designers to analyse full assemblies for more accurate simulation comparisons.MPIC also extends its ease of use, especially for CAD designers looking to adopt analysis earlier in the prototyping cycle to provide accurate, realistic and quick analysis.Īdditional improvements in the Multiphysics for IronCAD 2018 release include: Using this new capability as the foundation of the integrated analysis, CAD designers can now take advantage of simulation capabilities to validate design concepts in record time compared to previously time-consuming processes for preparing data for analysis.

The software features a new automatic tie/glue feature for assemblies that makes it possible to perform FEA analysis on CAD models that may contain intentional gaps or overlaps for welding or thermal expansion/shrinkage where traditional analysis previously required perfectly matched assemblies. IronCAD, a provider of design productivity solutions, has announced the immediate availability of the latest version of its fully integrated Multiphysics for IronCAD (MPIC) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) extension.
