SolidEdge ST4 Solid Surface Mesh
Solid / Sheet Unification for Simulation
A new “unite” option and Solid edge ST4 Simulation let the users merge surfaces and solid models for speeding simulations. This ability allows fast solving 2D element is used for the mid-surface to be used with solid elements used on solid models. The example here shows the mid-surface of a sheet metal part merged with adjacent solid frame components. The mesh operation automatically detects face types and applies the appropriate element. Solid Edge’s integrated design environment allows mid-surfaces (ordered features) to reside in the same file as synchronous features and kept up to date automatically during edits. This capability gives faster results while allowing analysis of much more complicated models.
