SAMTECH to Release SAMCEF v12.1 FEA Suite
 LIEGE, Belgium,
Oct 24, 2007 - SAMTECH, the European technology leader for the development
of Integrated Computer Aided Engineering Solutions, announces today the
launch of the new commercial release 12.1 of its Finite Element software
suite SAMCEF.
SAMCEF is recognized as one of the most powerful FEA suites in the world.
It is renowned in particular for its integrated non-linear module SAMCEF
Mecano/SAMCEF Thermal embedding in one single solver rigid and flexible
multi-body simulation, non linear metallic/composite structures analysis and
thermal analysis. SAMCEF contains also powerful linear FEA capabilities and
linear modules of SAMCEF can also be used after a non-linear analysis. This
allows for example to perform a modal analysis of a pre-stressed structure
or to predict the resonances of a flexible mechanical system in various
configurations.
Aimed at meeting its customers' needs, SAMTECH focuses continuously on
the improvement of capabilities: overall CPU performance, robustness,
ease-of-use and result reliability of SAMCEF. With close to 100 new
enhancements, SAMCEF V12.1 offers major advances in linear and non-linear
mechanical modeling, thermal analysis, parallel computing and results
post-processing.
Among the extensive list of new features, the following are worth
mentioning:
- Direct parallel solver for linear static analysis (SAMCEF Asef) and
non linear mechanical, thermal and thermo-mechanical ablation analyses
(SAMCEF Mecano, SAMCEF Thermal and SAMCEF Amaryllis), including the
parallelization of elements generation;
- Inverse analysis in SAMCEF Mecano with un-deformed geometry as
unknown;
- Improved face-to-face contact feature both in SAMCEF Mecano and
SAMCEF Asef;
- New second degree heterosis shell element for linear and non-linear
analyses;
- Improved thermal post-processing after SAMCEF Thermal;
- Multi-stage cyclic symmetry dynamic modal analysis (SAMCEF Dynam)
and time&frequency response (SAMCEF Repdyn);
- A Monte Carlo Ray tracing method for the calculation of view factors
for thermal analysis (SAMCEF Thermal).
SAMCEF V12.1 runs on Linux, Unix and Windows 64 bits platforms.
“SAMCEF is being used more and more by industry with extensive references
in all sectors. New developments in SAMCEF by SAMTECH are strategic in
helping its customers access state-of-the-art numerical methods thus
reducing the time-to-market and to lowering development costs”, explains
Didier Granville, Chief Marketing Officer of SAMTECH.
Depending on the industrial constraints, SAMCEF solvers can be run either
within the standalone CAD Based pre- and postprocessor SAMCEF Field or
within CATIAV5. Both user environments offer highly efficient and innovative
capabilities enabling our customers to be ever more competitive. Design
problems can also be solved by using jointly SAMCEF solvers and BOSS
Quattro, the Optimization platform developed by SAMTECH. Finally, the
extensive capabilities of the SAMCEF toolbox are more and more used as
internal solver for advanced Professional Products dedicated to specific
applications.
Through SAMCEF Field, the Integrated FEA approach of SAMCEF can also be
complemented by advanced Multi-Physics capabilities available in OOFELIE for
example for vibro-acoustics, electrostatics, electromagnetism, optics, phase
change and fluid-structure interaction.
