For High-Fidelity Simulation Across Complex Engineering Applications

Capabilities:

• Import, clean, and prepare complex geometries and generate high-quality surface and volume meshes using automated, robust meshing workflows.
• Maintain CAD-to-mesh associativity to keep simulation models synchronized with geometry updates and enable seamless handoffs from AxSTREAM to STAR-CCM+.
• Simulate real operating conditions with fully coupled multiphysics CFD, including flow, heat transfer, turbulence, combustion, multiphase behavior, and rotating machinery.
• Evaluate thermal loading and fluid–solid interactions using conjugate heat transfer and fluid-structure interaction analyses.
• Solve steady and transient compressible turbulent flows with high numerical accuracy and adaptive mesh refinement in critical regions.
• Accelerate high-fidelity simulation workflows through automated preprocessing, solver execution, postprocessing, and controlled design studies.
• Scale high-fidelity simulations using GPU acceleration, HPC clusters, and cloud computing to reduce turnaround time.

High-Fidelity Mechanical Analysis Across Complex Products and Systems

Capabilities:

• Prepare simulation-ready models using CAD-linked geometry tools, defeaturing, midsurfacing, and automated adaptive meshing to reduce manual rework and setup effort.
• Maintain associative links to CAD and upstream tools to keep structural simulation models synchronized with design updates and AxSTREAM-generated geometries.
• Evaluate structural, thermal, and motion behavior within a single unified environment using validated, industry-proven solvers.
• Perform linear and nonlinear static and dynamic analyses, including contact, material nonlinearity, vibration, fatigue, acoustics, and durability assessments.
• Analyze rigid and flexible multibody systems to assess motion response, vibration behavior, and system-level mechanical interactions.
• Model advanced materials, composites, and manufacturing effects including laminates, draping, additive manufacturing, welding, forming, and forging to ensure manufacturability and structural reliability.
• Connect structural simulation data to the broader digital thread and PLM environment, integrating Teamcenter to support traceability, collaboration, and reuse across the product lifecycle.

Assembly-Driven Mechanical Design

Capabilities:

• Design detailed 3D components using parametric, freeform, and surface modeling with synchronous technology, and validate fit and mechanical relationships within full product assemblies.
• Import CAD data from other design tools and leverage sketches or 2D layouts to support efficient creation and integration of detailed 3D geometry.
• Accelerate repetitive tasks through automation and software customization while reducing manual rework and maintaining design consistency across the design cycle.
• Generate 2D drawings and engineering documentation that streamline the handoff from design to manufacturing.

Digital Thread Management and Product Data Governance

Capabilities:

• Manage a single, authoritative library of engineering and manufacturing data to ensure consistent product definitions across programs, variants, and lifecycle stages.
• Leverage and maintain a complete digital thread linking requirements and systems models to manufacturing definitions with full traceability and design control.
• Support structured collaboration across multidisciplinary teams using built-in workflows, change management processes, formal reviews, and role-based access control.
• Control product evolution through robust versioning and change management to reduce errors caused by disconnected systems and unmanaged design changes.
• Organize and manage bills of material (EBOM, MBOM), manufacturing process plans, and production data within a governed PLM environment.
• Track project milestones, deliverables, risks, and product readiness using integrated program and portfolio management tools.
