Research conducted by the Aberdeen group has found that Engineering Managers are using FEA to improve product performance and development efficiency in order to address shortened time-to-market constraints.

For engineers and engineering managers new to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), structural testing through simulation can be greeted with apprehension. This reluctance to use FEA leads to increases in manufacturing costs, waste, and excesses in testing.

This presentation demystifies the FEA process by examining the underlying technology that is used. It also looks at best practices and common mistakes to avoid.

WESTMINSTER, CA, Feb 11, 2011 – NEi Software debuts its free FEA mobile application, NEi Stratus, at the Pacific Design & Manufacturing 2011 show as the company continues to innovate how and when finite element analysis solutions can be delivered to engineers. With this current application, finite element analysts can explore how mobile technology can be used to perform basic analysis, viewing results on their iPhone and iPad anywhere and anytime. The company sees the potential of combining cloud technology with the power of NEi Nastran solvers and believes this initial exploration into the combination will allow for more complex analysis as the technology matures.

NEi Stratus will be available by the beginning of the second fiscal quarter and will be initially offered at no charge. Those interested in viewing demos of this free mobile FEA application and staying up-to-date on NEi Software products should visithttp://www.nenastran.com/mobile.

“As innovators in CAE, NEi Software recognized two rapidly advancing technologies that have great potential within the CAE industry, mobile applications and cloud computing. NEi Stratus leverages these technologies to give engineers on-demand Nastran-based analysis,” said Mitch Muncy, Manager of Presales and Technical Support for NEi Software.

Together, the Bn and the Sc fields elevate the use of simulation from an observation tool which identifies heat management problems to an effective thermal design problem-solving tool which suggests potential solutions to the designer. The end result is faster and more efficient resolution of heat management problems.

“The value of FloTHERM 9 is in the time and the cost it saved us when developing an IC for a new generation of Energy Star-compliant mobile phone chargers. The baseline simulation using the ‘bottleneck’ feature quickly highlighted a potential thermal issue, and further iterations confirmed our solution,” stated Nigel Heather, vice president of engineering, CamSemi. “To achieve the same result by building prototype boards would have taken a long time and drawn resources away from other critical work. FloTHERM has helped us reduce development costs and kept our project on track to meet our customer’s aggressive deadline.”

For years, the FloTHERM software has been the industry leader in thermal analysis, used worldwide as a fast and accurate computational fluid dynamics solver. FloTHERM software reduces thermal verification by 33% and reduces PCB design re-spins by 500% compared to other solutions, according to a survey conducted by the Aberdeen Group (Electronics Correct by Design Benchmark Study, February 2007).

These innovations position FloTHERM to revolutionize the way designers solve their heat management challenges. The Bn field shows where in a design the heat path is being congested as it attempts to flow from high junction temperature points to ambient. Design changes to these bottlenecks can help solve the heat flow problem. The Sc field highlights possible solutions where the addition of a simple element to the design will provide a new effective heat flow path to further cool the system.

Using these two new technologies in conjunction with FloTHERM’s classic thermal analysis will enable designers to more quickly arrive at a better solution. Instead of experimenting with trial and error solutions, they will be guided with intelligent suggestions based on the Bn and Sc fields.

“Mentor’s focus on solving the electronics industry’s IC and systems power dissipation problems extends through the entire flow,” stated Erich Buergel, general manager, Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. “By providing thermal simulation and testing solutions which span the entire process—starting with ICs and packages, through to PCBs and finally the complete electronic system—we are addressing the entire spectrum of the problem. Now this new Bn and Sc technology adds a new dimension to our solution.”

Two additional enhancements have been made in the new FloTHERM v.9 product: XML model and geometry data importing to enable FloTHERM integration into existing data flows, and a direct interface to the Mentor Graphics® Expedition® PCB design platform. The direct interface enables users to import native Expedition PCB data, and delete or edit additional objects (heatsinks, thermal vias, board cutouts, EM cans) for more accurate thermal model design development.

The FloTHERM product allows engineers to implement virtual prototypes using advanced CFD techniques to simulate airflow, temperature and heat transfer in electronic systems. This capability enables accurate thermal analysis so engineers can evaluate and test designs automatically before physical prototypes are built. The FloTHERM software is compatible with other Mentor products to provide comprehensive thermal simulation for optimum system reliability, from IC package to PCB and full system development.

Femap 10.2 makes it faster and easier to create the meshed models used by engineers to simulate and analyze product performance using finite element analysis (FEA). The latest release includes unique features to help ensure model accuracy and to visually evaluate analysis results. The productivity enhancements in Femap 10.2 are aimed at streamlining the processes required to create accurate models that can determine the structural, dynamic, and thermal performance of complex engineered parts, assemblies, and systems.

“Femap is recognized throughout the global engineering community for its in-depth finite element modeling functionality and its best-in-class integration with the industry leading Nastran solver,” said Bill McClure, vice president of product development for Velocity Series, Siemens PLM Software. “Today’s announcement builds upon the usability of Femap with extended interactive modeling and analysis capabilities, and increased program performance. The combination of Femap with the industry standard solver NX Nastran software, delivers a world-class, easy to use analysis solution, or what we call ‘real FEA made easy’.”

Faster, Easier, More Accurate Modeling and Analysis

Femap 10.2 adds a wide variety of customer-driven enhancements and exclusive new features to improve the entire computer-aided engineering (CAE) process from pre-processing model creation, to solver integration, to post-processing data handling, visualization and analysis. The Interactive Meshing Toolbox introduced in Femap version 10 has added functionality that enables faster, interactive creation of the finite element mesh model. It also includes a new feature editing capability that allows the user to move features, such as holes or surfaces, while the meshed model is automatically updated to reflect the change.

A new topology optimization capability allows the user to apply loads and constraints to material encompassing the entire available design envelope, minimizing weight, and maximizing stiffness by removing unnecessary material to create an optimized shape. The suggested shape can serve as a starting point for successive iterations, significantly reducing the time needed to arrive at a final design.

Femap 10.2 contains several enhancements that improve the speed and accuracy of the post-processing analysis process, including a powerful new feature for working with beam elements. Users now have the ability to quickly and easily view the stress contours in beam cross sections, eliminating the need for time consuming iterative analysis and dramatically improving the ability to detect areas of concern. Faster data handling also enables Femap to process recovered output data in significantly less time, and a new post-processing toolbox consolidates functional elements in the user interface for enhanced ease-of-use.

Consistent with Siemens PLM Software’s open business model, Femap works with all of the industry’s leading FEA solvers. With Femap 10.2, the company further expands its already unsurpassed integration with Nastran® software with the support of a new edge-to-face contact feature for NX™ Nastran software. This level of solver integration and support help ensure accurate analysis results and interoperability in a broad range of engineering environments.

Femap 10.2 is scheduled for availability in October. For more information, please visitwww.siemens.com/plm/femap.

About TracePro:
TracePro is a comprehensive, versatile software tool for modeling the propagation of light in imaging and non-imaging opto-mechanical systems. Models are created by importing existing designs from compatible lens design and CAD programs or directly in TracePro. You can use Boolean operations to unite, subtract, and intersect objects to create more complex parts. The program uses a re-arrangeable system tree to group or layer parts in any order for manageability, and to quickly apply optical materials and surface properties. Sources are modeled using a variety of methods including emission from source geometry, ray or bitmap files, lamp and LED catalogs, grid sources or a combination of the above methods. Rays from these sources are propagated through the model with portions of the flux of each ray allocated for absorption, specular reflection, transmission, fluorescence, birefringence, polarization, and scattering. Output information is designed to be intuitive and easy to export. Complete graphical, ray and textual information makes analysis easy to understand, and allows detailed evaluation of multiple design iterations in the minimum amount of time. More about TracePro
