CADNexus - CAD to CAE Integration

We provide vendor-independent CAD to CAE integration solutions to companies that rely on simulation-driven design to improve product quality, accelerate time to market and reduce engineering inefficiencies and costs.

NASA's OVERGRID

NASA had a need for a robust and accurate path to import complex models directly from major CAD systems, with minimum user intervention, into the Chimera Grid Tools System. CAPRI CAE Gateway was selected as a uniform gateway to major CAD systems... Read more

Previously, if we received CAD geometry, it first had to be converted into a format acceptable for Chimera Grid Tools to read, i.e., unstructured surface triangulation or structured abutting patches. This process has always been very tedious and labor intensive (using commercial grid generation software), and could take days or weeks.
