IronCAD Releases Multiphysics Integration

Earlier this week, IronCAD released a new seamlessly integrated Multi-Physics module. Multi-Physics for IronCAD (MPIC) is the latest generation of integrated CAD/FEA for general entry to advanced design simulations. The software focuses on ease of use and provides fully coupled Multiphysics with stress, thermal, and electrostatic analysis.
Traditional FEA solutions are not particularly well suited for quick, in-process design analysis. With MPIC, users at any skill level will be able to use full FEA capabilities. Seamlessly integrated, users can simply add material, forces or constraints, and the AutoSolve meshes and returns analysis results. Any modifications to the IRONCAD model enables an analysis re-solve in seconds.

As part of the IronCAD Gold Partner Program, a node-limited version of MPIC is included with full product capabilities with the standard IRONCAD solution. Beyond the included version, customers can purchase a full accuracy basic version, advance version, and add-on functionality. MPIC is available for purchase through IronCAD distributors along with product licensing and technical support.
Cary O’Connor, vice president of marketing at IronCAD says, “Our goal was to help our customers solve complex multi-physics tasks quickly and accurately. MPIC is an advanced multi thread FEA application with fast solver technology that can process large models with millions of equations in minutes. Even though the included version is node-limited, MPIC’s technology gives our customers extended capabilities to quickly and accurately test their product designs.We believe that all IronCAD customers can benefit from increased design productivity.”
Chuck Paulsen, business director of AMPS Technologies states, “We designed MPIC to deliver a video game-like experience to analysis but behind the scenes, the advanced and robust AMPS technology provides a true what-if analysis tool for designers who need to pre-check, concept-proof, and experiment with different design scenarios. Collaboration with IronCAD offers a win-win solution for customers with innovative and easy-of-use solid modeling combined with completely integrated multi-physics analysis.”
Multi-Physics for IronCAD and technical information is available for immediate download here.

Some basics and how it works in conventional CAD

1. Reverse engineer from scanned photo tracings. Sometimes, I wanted to reverse engineer a part where I didn’t need precise measurements for most of its geometry. Remodeling from a photo, along with calipers when I needed more resolution, has proven to be a very efficient approach. One particularly compelling trick is to put flanges and other flat interfaces directly on the glass of the office scanner. Sketching over those images easily achieves similar resolution to most 3D printers. Years ago, I modeled most of the castings on this ‘78 Beetle Transmission in SpaceClaim by tracing carefully taken photographs and scans of its flanges. 2. 3D sketch on top of images. The next step is to try actual 3D sketching on top of images. Below are some examples I did by 3D sketching on MC Escher lithographs using a technique substantially similar to the basic approach used in the video. 3D models from photos  Now let’s take a look on how to to accomplish this basic tric...

Altair Solid Thinking: Conceptual Design Inspired by Bone Growth

The concept of a part taking shape as it reacts to its environment may be new to engineers, but nature has been doing this for a long time. Take for instance the evolution of bones—long skeletal bones will grow and change shape as they are subjected to loads and boundary conditions. Altair’s solidThinking has programmed this bone-like behaviour into Inspire, a concept modeling application for mechanical design. Essentially, Inspire uses a bone growth algorithm to create the shape of a part from little more than loads, boundary conditions and a space that represents a maximum build volume. Inspire is an interesting example of early concept CAE design. Instead of bringing simulation into the initial CAD design, Inspire works backwards. It will “grow” a near optimal concept using FEA simulations. “Inspire is based on human bone growth algorithms developed at the University of Michigan in the mid ‘80s,” said Kroeger. “We mimic what nature would do. We took this high-end engineering...
