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.

nTop
nTop is a computational design software platform that enables engineers to create, analyze, and optimize complex geometry using implicit modeling and field-driven design methodologies. Unlike traditional boundary representation (B-rep) CAD systems, nTop uses implicit modeling technology to represent geometry through mathematical functions, allowing for unbreakable parametric models that remain stable across large geometric changes and enabling direct integration with simulation workflows.
