Simpleware FE Module
Image-Based Meshing Software for FEA & CFD
Simpleware FE provides industry-leading software tools for converting image data to Finite Element (FE) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for simulations. The module offers the broadest range of image-based meshing tools and most robust meshing algorithms, with extensive options for tailoring your models to different simulation requirements. Rely on meshing software that generates simulation-ready models, with no need for postprocessing or fixing. Export directly to all major FE/CFD solver formats.
- Easy-to-use: Intuitive meshing tools integrated seamlessly into core Simpleware ScanIP environment.
- Automated, robust, fast: From segmented image to solver-ready model in minutes.
- Accurate and reliable: Image accuracy maintained during meshing, multi-part models guaranteed without gaps or overlaps.
- Flexible: Adapt mesh sizes with user-definable mesh refinement, optimize element qualities against a wide choice of metrics.
- Compatible: Export directly to all leading FE/CFD solvers (Abaqus, ANSYS, COMSOL…)
- Fully supported: All licences come with full support from our expert team of application engineers.
