Partnership boosts analysis capabilities of mechanical design software

1 April 2000

By adding design analysis specialist, Structural Research & Analysis Corporation (SRAC), to its Mechanical Applications Initiative (MAI) programme, Autodesk has boosted the design analysis capabilities of its mechanical design software.
The Autodesk MAI programme comprises a select group of mechanical software developers, recognised worldwide as the leaders in their particular discipline, who offer best-of-class, seamlessly integrated extensions to Autodesk's mechanical 3D design software.
Cosmos/DesignSTAR, the latest product in the Cosmos suite of design analysis solutions from SRAC, integrates with Autodesk's Mechanical Desktop software. It enables designers and engineers to take full advantage of Cosmos/DesignSTAR's analysis capabilities at all stages of the design cycle, without having to manually transfer geometry between the CAD and analysis program.
Cosmos/DesignSTAR offers a full range of design analysis capabilities, including:
* A basic analysis bundle containing stress, displacement, frequency, buckling, steady-state and transient thermal analysis and optional assembly analysis.

* Advanced analysis including nonlinear stress, dynamic response, low-frequency electromagnetics, and fatigue capabilities.

* Results visualisation.

* Automatically prepared Web-enabled design reports.

* Loads and boundary conditions applied to the geometry allowing automatic bi-directional CAD model update.
Structural Research & Analysis Corporation develops and markets design analysis software products for the mechanical computer aided engineering market. Since its inception in 1982, SRAC has contributed innovations that have had a significant impact on the evolution of finite element analysis.
