Creo Elements/Direct Modeling
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (formerly CoCreate Modeling) provides robust, comprehensive direct modeling capabilities.
SolidWorks Simulation
SolidWorks Simulation is a comprehensive suite of analysis tools integrated within the SolidWorks CAD environment, enabling engineers and designers to virtually test and validate their designs under real-world conditions. By simulating physical behaviors such as stress, strain, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, users can identify potential issues early in the design process, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes and accelerating time to market.
