Reading xMCF in Simsolid for non Seam welds
Current version of simsolid only supports creating seamweld based on the xMCF format other than the options available inside simsoild. Is it possible to read Non-Seam welds as well ? Available resources for Non-seamweld: https://github.com/economidis-nick/createXSDforxMCF

GlobalZoneEU Not Found License error when opening SimSolid
Hi, Recently our student team's license has been causing an error upon trying to open SimSolid (v2024 and v2025). This is affecting us on both devices with pre-existing (and previously working) installs, and fresh installs which leads me to assume it's unlikely to be a device setup error. To the best of my knowledge, our…

Inquiry Regarding Rivet Representation and Pre-Stressing in SimSolid
Hi Support Team, I have a couple of questions regarding the use of rivets in SimSolid: When I place a rivet in SimSolid, how is it represented within the simulation? Do the upper and lower cap rivets pre-stress the upper and lower surfaces, and if so, is that pre-stress taken into account during the simulation? For…

Is it possible to work around the 1 load/surface/load case limitation in Inspire and SimSolid?
The analyses I would be running require to have several loads applied to one surface in a single load case. Inspire (2024) and SimSolid (2024) both fail to run an analysis if more than a single load is applied to the same surface (see image below) . Does anyone know how to work around that problem? Thanks!

Simsolid: Assessing a bolted clevis joint with a clevis gap.
Hi, I am assessing a bolted clevis joint, which by definition requires the clevis to be wider than the component its clamping to allow the part to be fitted. I want to be able to apply a torque to the bolt, which will first close the clevis gap and then create a preload within the bolt. This is to understand how much force…

No Von Mises results with SimSolid
I'm pretty sure when I started this project, I would get a normal looking "Percent of yield" and von Mises. After several runs, now it gives unreasonable results for both. The % of yield here is only about 1%. It should be closer to 60%. I ran the analysis "for stress". The materials are taken from the native database. Is…

Clarification about SimSolid and Optimization
So, an interesting issue came across my desk today, that I felt was important enough to clarify with a post here in the Community. It was recently brought to my attention that there was a misconception about Topological Optimization within Inspire and the use of the SimSolid solver. Someone recently set the Analysis Solver…

SimSolidの熱のインポートでの不自然な分布について
SimSolidで熱のインポート機能を使用した際，円筒孔の空いた立方体のようなジオメトリに簡単な温度分布を与えた際は意図した分布になったのですが，薄板円筒にCFDから出力したような複雑な温度分布を与えると，大部分は意図した分布になるものの一部欠落したような（そこの部分だけ0ではない一定温度になる）分布になってしまいました。この原因を知りたいのですが，例えば薄板は苦手，座標が厳密に一致していないとインポートできない等ありますでしょうか。

SimSolidのソリューション設定「カスタム」について
SimSolidのソリューション設定で，最も精度を高くする設定は，以下の通りだと思っています。 これをグループ全体に適用すると，計算時間の増加は無視するとして，すべてのパートが精度よく計算されるのでしょうか。それともグループを分けた方がよいのでしょうか。 ・アダプティブ：カスタム ・リファインレベル：高 ・アダプティブ計算の最大数：6 ・フィーチャーアダプト，薄肉ソリッド：両方チェック また，ソリューション設定のマニュアルの説明が難しかったのですが，以下のページを見つけることができ理解が深まったのですが，情報が古く，もし最新の類似の記事がありましたらご教示いただけますと幸いです。 SimSolidのベストプラクティス -…

Difference in SimSolid vs Optistruct result
Hi expert, I am using Simsolid 2023 and Optistruct 2022 to perform a simple structural analysis. While using Optistruct for as a solver, I have a tried a same problem with Simsolid but simsolid gives different results in stress plots. Example problem: For an instance I have tried a Simple Cantilever Beam with a point…

[SimSolid] Spot이란?
SimSolid에서 Spot은 하중과 구속조건과 같은 경계조건을 정의 할 때 사용할 수 있습니다. SimSolid는 Meshless 솔루션으로서 기본적으로 Geometry단위 즉, Surface, Edge, Vertex단위로 선택한 후 조건을 부여 할 수 있습니다. 따라서 사용자가 Surface내에 일부 영역만 선택하여 정의해야할 때 Spot을 생성하여 사용해 볼 수 있습니다. 생성하는 방법은 아래의 비디오를 참고해주세요.

PCB基板のECADから始める各種シミュレーション
PCB基板のECADから3D形状を作成し、構造解析、熱応力解析、振動解析、疲労解析などを実施するのは手間のかかる作業でした。 SimLab、SimSolidともECADインポートから3D形状作成が可能なため、以下のような解析が少ない手数で可能です。 SimSolidはECADを読み込んで、メッシュ作成することなく、材料条件と解析条件を設定して上の図のような構造解析、熱伝導解析、振動解析、疲労解析が可能です。 ↓関連リンク SimLabはSimSolidの解析をOptiStructソルバーを使ってできます。SimSolidの解析機能に加えて、Layer DefinitionからPCB層の各層厚と材料を定義し、Ultra…

Simsolid: How to add weldment in a group of parts to have increased adaptive solution on weld
hello, I just started with simsolid. I did a study and it shows the max von mises stress on a seam weld location. Can I increase the solver adaptability on the weldment? I was able to create a group for the part on which the weld sits on for increased solver adaptation; but was not able to select the weld itself. What can…

Real versus actual measurments?
I am new to SimSolid. It seems very capable and has a lot of features I have not explored. But I have one area of concern, how does it relate to real world experience. Below is simple pipe: * 47” long * wall thickness of .065” * Material is as below, Chromoly steel. Note that I get very similar results with AISI 4140 steel…

Bolts resultant force
Hi I have a question. I am making a linear structural analysis for some parts and the results of forces on bolts are strange. Only 1 bolt out of 16, has significantly bigger force. It's weir, cause all bolts are same size, material nad theoretically they should have the same load as they are at same height of a cylindrical…
