Structural analysis
Structural design simulations can be performed using only design data
There is no need to produce actual products such as prototypes.
Highly accurate structural design can be performed from the initial concept stage of development.
As a result, development time and prototyping costs can be reduced.
Things that are difficult to experimentally measure or difficult to visualize, such as stress distribution, displacement, and vibration resonance performance,
can be visually expressed, allowing for rational design that does not rely on the senses.

Functional overview
① Generative Part Structural Analysis (GPS)
Stress analysis and eigenvalue analysis (frequency analysis) can be performed on a single part, making it suitable for any field.
Input materials, fixing conditions, and load conditions into the created 3D CAD model to simulate strength.
Stress, displacement, and reaction forces can be predicted to narrow down design options.
Since the natural frequency can be predicted, it is possible to design a component that avoids resonance.

② Generative Assembly Structural Analysis (GAS)
Function overview ：Analyze multiple parts assembled with different materials. Similar to the above, we can respond to any field.
This module performs stress analysis and frequency analysis of assemblies.
A variety of connection conditions are available, including rigid connections, bolting, and spot welding.
