CADNexus - CAD to CAE Integration
CAE Preprocessing
Seamless and robust geometry access is a crucial building block of any simulation-driven design process. CADNexus' CAPRI CAE Gateway works seamlessly with major strategic CAD systems. Our preprocessing solution is based on the philosophy that the CAD geometry is the "true" representation of the engineering design intent. The translation-free connectivity to native CAD ensures integrity of the CAD data and minimal user intervention for repeated analysis saving significant engineering time and resources. The preprocessing solution is designed to be easily customizable and incorporated into a simulation-driven design process.
CADNexus' advanced solution also provides the capability to implement custom and proprietary export formats. The preprocessing solution can be combined with our feature-based design capability to build an automated simulation-driven design system.
Preprocessor Formats/Meshers
CADNexus' CAPRI CAE Gateway provides export to several common preprocessor formats and meshing tools. The quality and resolution of the exported geometry can be easily controlled by the user to meet problem specific requirements. Access to a CAD system installation and runtime license are required.
