Utilities

StressCheck’s add-on utility modules include the latest Spatial 3D Interop CAD translator modules and MeshSim Advanced automatic meshing libraries, in addition to the native Parasolid CAD modeler and MeshSim Core automatic meshing libraries implemented in StressCheck Core, to save you time and efforts in the FEA modeling process.

MeshSim Advanced, developed by Simmetrix, Inc., enables 3D solid element meshing algorithms in support of thin structures, computation of fracture mechanics parameters, and mesh refinement of complex geometric features.

MeshSim Advanced

The MeshSim Advanced automeshing utility is a powerful addition to 3D StressCheck automeshing. This module enables boundary layer meshing for adding additional layers of elements around cracks, holes and fillets, as well as extrusion meshing for constant-thickness parts. Typically paired with the Fracture Mechanics module.

Mixed (hexa/penta/tetra) mesh boundary layer available with the release of StressCheck v11.1
