Presenter says:Customers want to be able to mesh solids in general (that come form CAD) to produce better resultsUsers now are prefering to mesh entities as solids rather than meshing the surfaces of the geometric entities. Meshing a solid will bring about more accurate results when doing analysis. Due to more and better computing power, mesing solids is now feasible and therefore in MSC.SOFY we offer this capability to do a tet-mesh on the solids using the solid mesher option. Support of Tet Meshing - 'Solid Mesher' - A new function added to Mesh menu, allows you to generate TET mesh automatically for solid geometry or for enclosed volume of TRIA elements

Presenter says:Being part of NVH analysis, Acoustics simulation is a very important analysis that is tightly worked into the analysis on an automotive design. Customers are constantly in need of more efficient ways to do NVH with tools that allow for FE pre and post as well as Acoustics simulation. Customers can interactively enhance an existing body-in-white (BIW) model for interior acoustics simulation. Acoustic support to generate cavity mesh and specify response points - 'Acoustics' - A new module added to Modules menu, supports Acoustics functionality Automatic cavity detection and fluid meshing Interactive panel definition Vibroacoustic Input and Output generation Integration with MSC.Nastran Acoustics to calculate and visualize fluid/structure coupling and wetted elements They can also drive MSC.Nastran Acoustics through a powerful GUI to generate and optimize the fluid/structure coupling.

Presenter says:In the MSC.SOFY environment, in order to support the generation of vibroacoustic body models including cavity fluid mesh coupled with the structure, lets recap some of the steps one would go through in MSC.SOFY Acoustics and thereby highlight some of the benefits MSC.SOFY Acoustics offers.

First:

MSC.SOFY Acoustics has powerful functionality to close holes based on parts, node lists and segments.

Second:

MSC.SOFY Acoustics automatically creates the cavity for welded and non-welded structures

Third:

MSC.SOFY Acoustics has an integrated link to MSC.Nastran allowing to create the coupling matrix, visualize the results and make iterations if necessary

Presenter says:MSC.SOFY also supports 4 different solver types. For example if you are working on crash analyses there is the LS-Dyna mode that lets you use a more appropriate solver. There is the Nastran mode as well as the Radioss and Abaqus as well. The availability of different solvers caters MSC.SOFY for you to be able to set up your models to the different types of analyses that you may perform.MDQM Model Data Quality Manager -, , .. , - (, ..). , (.. ).SOFY pioneered the Quality Index and the Auto Quality Enhancement capabilities in 1997. , "" . SOFY , (Quality Index), , . . , . . (Automatic Mesh-Quality Enhancer) .

Users can not only specify the maximum or the minimum limits, they can also specify the good values. SOFY will then rate each element for each mesh quality parameter and compute the Quality Index based on the weights specified for each of the quality params. Elements pass all of the activated quality criteria if they are within the color spectrum. If an element is colored Pink (Fuchsia) then it is violating one or more quality parameters.

Users can improve the element quality manually by dragging a node on the FE surface or geometric surface orActivate SOFYs Automatic Mesh-Quality Enhancer to significantly improve the mesh.

In the animation when the pink element becomes non-pink it passes all of the specified (and activated) quality criteria. SOFY . . .. SW (Spot Weld, ) Nastran CWELD CDH-Spot LS-Dyna MAT100. . , MAT100 , SW, CWELD MSC Nastran.

Also based on SOFY and RADE, we have developed some advanced functionalities also..

The Penetration find and fix module can examine the complete model and find the penetration that includes material thickness and actual element penetration

CLICK 1 then it displays all of the areas found to be penetrating

CLICK 2 Each Problem areas can be viewed

CLICK 3 And Fixed

Click 4 This is an example of the Door Inner and Outer Penetrating

Click 5 And the fix

Presenter says:So how does MSC.SOFYs MORPHING module address this need? (click once) Lets for example say you had the old design and you wished to do some change to the geometry and wanted to have it meshed right away. (click once) The new design requires that we lift the top of the van to a certain target shape. Therefore instead of having to send this off to CAD and have them change it then send it back to you to mesh, you can MORPH it right there and then. You specify the target shape that you which to have, (click once) (click once) choose some nodes and elements to morph and then (click once) MORPH the van. You can now continue to evaluate your design and continue on your iterations within MSC.SOFY. (click once) Thereby skipping many iterations with CAD, saving lots of time and money. .

SPRINTs template driven Report processing provides many types of output e.g. Fringe plots, X-Y Plots, Tables, etc.

CLICK on P/U Box Report

This template driven report shows various types of output that the users can capture.

A HTMP template is created with tags for Plots, Tables, Images, etc. These items are then replaced by SPRINT and the final report is presented in HTML. We are also developing interface MS-WORD and MS-PowerPoint.SOFY . . . SOFY , . X-Y .

SOFYs provides very efficient and dynamic Post processing. E.g. users can change the to exploded view or change the graphics of all or selected parts while the Animation is in progress. Users can also turn parts on-or-off without the need to re-build the frame graphics.

SOFYs post processing also supports multiple models and allows each model to have its own results files.

Users can also identify the entities on the screen and plot its animated data on an X-Y plot. The points on the plot can be animated in sync with the Canvas animation.SOFY contains the core. It has the GUI, the Database, the Graphics engine, etc, etc.SOFY , , .. RADE SOFY, , VRADE.VRADE (Visual RADE) . VRADE . SOFY SPRINT .

Using RADE SOFYs Programming environment, we create reusable modules that are made available in VRADE.

VRADE (Visual-RADE) is the Graphical Process Designer. With VRADE we design the process flow based on customers standard processes. These processes are then automatically published in the SOFYs menu system as SPRINT Processes.VRADE Provides graphical access to SOFYs internal functions as well as published high level RADE functions.Users can merely drag the function-block from the left and drop it into the designer window. The outputs in blue can be connected to the inputs in green. VRADE will check and match the types automatically.

Users can define and publish their own high level re-usable functions .VRADE also shows the functions signature on the bottom of the window this provides the designer the hints for the required input.

CLICK 1 - Source code can be viewed at any time so that an in-experienced RADE developer can use this as a learning tool and an experienced RADE developer can validate the process intent.

CLICK 2 Once the process is designed and saved, it is immediately available in the SOFYs SPRINT environment.

Visual RADE provides graphical access to SOFYs Functions.Users can add their own high level reusable functions.Expedites the design and development of Process Automators

So far we have briefly discussed the Market need and how SPRINT addresses the need for consistency and productivity.We also discussed (briefly) how SPRINT processes are created.

SPRINT SOFY. SOFY.SPRINT is based on the rich infrastructure and capabilities of SOFY. Most of these capabilities are available interactively through SOFY also.

SOFY-SPRINT MSC SimManager. , : ( ) SimManager. Requirements Management System. PDM ( , -. SimManager).This shows an example of the SOFY-SPRINT integration with SimManager.3. .4. SimManager SOFY , .. , , .5. SOFY , .6. , , SimManager, . , .

This integration was done using the Client side integration template where in :

CLICK 1 The load case (or a design iteration) is first defined in SimManager. This could have been triggered by a Requirements Management System so that a task is actually invoked.

CLICK 2 - Then a model is defined or uploaded. Again, this model could have been extracted from a PDM system or provided by a meshing department that could also use the SimManager

CLICK 3 The the analysis type is selected. This also could be specified by a separate Task manager or a Require Management System.

CLICK 4 SOFY is launched by SimManager in a Protected Mode. Protected mode locks the SOFY interface so that the user can only access the files and functions necessary for these analysis tasks

CLICK 5 The SOFY application come up ready with the specified process and the model loaded and ready for the user to do their tasks.

CLICK 6 After the analysis and Post processing has been completed. Results are managed by SimManager and the user can view the pedigree tree and see the source of all of the data that led to the final results

RADE . : ( ) .Using SOFYs rich and unique capabilities together with RADE, some of our customers have developed their own customization. , .

Here is an example of 2 different models and the customer wishes to find the parts with SIMILAR (not same) shape.CLICK 1 Based on Topology similarity, the customer created a list of scenes of parts that had similar shape. Please note that no match was found for some parts

CLICK 2 Then the user can go thru individual scenes and view the similar parts

This customization was done in less than a week by the customer. , RADE . , . (- ). . . . , , . - . , .

Again using SOFY and RADE we have developed a fully integrated Morphing capability.

In this animation we first review the Mesh quality of the Model that we plan to Morph.

Then we define the control area which is the center of the Cradle Front Cross Member (Cyan)Then we define the deformable zone which are the ends of the Cross memberThen we interactively Morph

Please note that as expected the quality of some of the elements will become bad.

Then using the Quality enhancement capabilities, the mesh quality of only the distorted area is improved.

In this case the mesh was not re-meshed. However, that is also possible in SOFY.

Importantly, the element count and fidelity is maintained so that this feature can be used for Shape optimization without introducing the variability (and noise) from re-meshing. , , , .

Using the Morphing and Mesh-independent welding capabilities we can now offer Synchronous Shape, Weld, Material Gauge optimization

In this shock-tower lateral stiffness analysis example.. We selected 9 flanges on which we would modify the weld pitch andDefine 3 shape variables - 2 to change the shape of the shock tower and 1 to change the width of the Shot-gun (Upper Rail)The constraint was stiffnessThe objective function being Cost = Some cost per KG X Weight plus Some cost per weld X Number of Welds. The Objective was to minimize cost.

This optimization ran 300+ runs for 4 hours on a HP Workstation and we saved about $30 / vehiclePresenter says:Customers are finding it a waste of time and resource and money investing into many different software vendors which require alternate maintenecnce setups, fees, costs compatibilities and hot line numbers. Also when purchasing software from different vendors the customers usually need to purchase a license for each seat which can get expensive. Customers need to be able to access all sorts of tools at ease and be able to do more VPD type work easily with more flexibility. This also goes for doing FE process automation, FE simulations and Acoustics simulation. In addition having a state of the art FE simulation tool at your disposal will accellerate you VPD success even faster. MSC.Masterkey offers immediate access to a full suite of VPD tools inclduing tools that allow you to do Stress Analyses, Nonlinear Analyses, Motion and Control Analyses, Crash Analyses and now with MSC.SOFY becoming part of MSC.Masterkey you can now enjoy a full and powerfull FE simulation, FE process automation and FE Acoustics simulation tool all in one. If you are already a MSC.Masterkey customer this is a new set of tools that you have access to at no extra cost. Simply use tokens to do FE simulation now as well as process automation for FE, instead of purchasing a whole new FE simulation tool which might not even do such a great job in the first place.
