LMS Samcef Solver Suite
FEM solver solution suite for basic linear structures to advanced, flexible nonlinear mechanisms and thermal applications
The LMS Samtech Samcef Solver Suite is based on the finite element method (FEM) and covers a wide range of mechanical, thermal and thermo-mechanical applications – from basic to very advanced – primarily in the aerospace, defense and automotive industries.
You can apply the mechanical FEM solver solutions to linear applications such as linear static computations, modal and buckling analyses, linear dynamic simulations, super element generation, random excitations and shock responses. You can also perform nonlinear transient simulations within this family of FEM solvers. The FEM solvers can account for the material nonlinearities, geometric nonlinearities, contact conditions, large rotations and kinematic constraints. A dedicated module is also available for high-speed rotating machines. Thermal simulations allow solving transient analysis including convection, conduction, radiation and ablation.
Several modeling levels are available, including 2D plane stress or plane strain, harmonic and multi-harmonic, cyclic symmetry and full 3D. FEM solver modules are part of the same family; you can switch from one analysis to another (convert a linear simulation to a transient nonlinear simulation), combine analyses (thermo-mechanical, pre-stressed modal analysis) or conduct co-simulations. With parallel computing capabilities, the LMS Samcef Solver Suite also allows you to solve very large finite element models.
Composite Simulation
Composite Simulation
LMS Samcef Composites enables linear static, buckling and modal analysis; nonlinear static and dynamic analysis; transient and harmonic responses; and thermomechanical analysis. The composite FEM solver enables you to model laminate structures, honeycomb, filament wounded structures and sandwich panels. Manufacturing process simulation is possible for phenomena such as curing and crystallization.
