Simcenter SimSolid is an engineering simulation solution from Siemens that enables engineers to analyze original CAD geometry without requiring traditional finite element meshing or geometry simplification.
In conventional FEA workflows, engineers often spend significant time preparing geometry, generating meshes, and checking mesh quality before running a simulation. When designs change, some of these preprocessing tasks may need to be repeated.

Simcenter SimSolid uses meshless simulation technology and advanced numerical methods to reduce preprocessing effort, helping engineers evaluate designs, compare alternatives, and make engineering decisions faster.
By reducing time spent on model preparation, Simcenter SimSolid enables engineering teams to focus more on understanding results, improving product performance, and accelerating design iterations.

Simcenter SimSolid is particularly valuable when engineers need rapid design feedback and traditional meshing has become a bottleneck. Traditional FEA remains important for applications requiring detailed control of finite element models, specialized numerical methods, or established advanced simulation workflows.
Manufacturers can use both approaches strategically: apply Simcenter SimSolid to evaluate and screen design alternatives, then perform more specialized analysis or verification when required by engineering specifications.
To ensure reliable results, engineers must define appropriate materials, loads, boundary conditions, and connections. Results should also be validated against reference models or experimental data when necessary.
