AMPSolid, the solid modeling front-end, is built on the industrial
standard ACIS solid modeling kernel including full model creation /
modification / featuring / de-featuring abilities designed specifically
for FE simulation. Full model creation history recording/retrieval and
forward/backward rolling to ease model creation. Automatic meshing
ability is at the press of a button, with advanced options to control
2D/Shell triangle, quad, mixed meshing, or in 3D tetra or hexa meshing.
Proprietary FlexMesh and Meta-Meshing hex meshing technologies provide
another option for a structured hexa/brick meshing directly from a solid
model. The post-processing part includes animation, contouring, vector
flow field, stram-line, user generated arithmetic results combination,
volume/area/side result integral inquiry, and all standard reporting
features. A dynamic real-time moving cutting plane feature allows the
examination of the results, and with many integral inquiry for
design analysis such as total shear/normal force/flux on the cross
section.

 The newest Meta-Meshing building blocks can be copied, rotated, joined,
swept, or extruded to create the desired shape just like the standard
solid modeling parts in an assembly operation. Meta-Elements have 1-D,
2-D, or 3-D formats and can be used to create beam/rod, surface, or
solid mesh elements all in the same model. Once the Meta-Elements are
created, it is easy to change mesh density. This change is
automatically propagated to other Meta-Elements for mesh consistency,
and the final global mesh density can also be scaled up or down if
desired. By associating the material and boundary conditions with the
geometry instead of specific finite elements, the models can be
re-meshed and re-analyzed without having to reapply material or boundary
information.
