Advanced structural analysis directly in your browser
With the latest releases, SimScale's advanced nonlinear FEA capabilities are faster, easier and more accessible than ever
SimScale brings advanced structural analysis directly into product design by making high-fidelity simulation truly accessible for all engineers
Snap-fit analysis with just a few clicks
Simulate clips, fasteners, and other nonlinear contact scenarios with an automated workflow incorporating FEA best practices.
Thermomechanical shock with a 5-minute setup
Analyze transient thermal events with temperature-dependent nonlinear material properties.
Forced vibration without the fuss
Replicate physical shaker table tests using streamlined simulation templates.
Key features
SimScale's latest nonlinear FEA capabilities make analysis of separating contacts, large deformations, and nonlinear materials easier, more robust, faster, and hence even more accessible.
Get contact monitoring plots during simulation, keeping you in the loop on contact penetration and solution convergence, and giving you confidence and control over your result outputs.
Simplify physical contact problems by easily simulating snap, interference and frictional fittings, computing introduction and holding forces, contact pressure distribution and peak stresses on connected parts.
Push rubber-like and biological materials to high strains with the sophisticated Ogden hyperelastic material model.
Get higher accuracy and solution efficiency with hexahedral and prismatic mesh elements created using sweep mesh refinements.
Save time when creating nonlinear materials, by using company material libraries, that only need to be setup once before being rolled out to your entire organization.
Stabilize large deformations and nonlinear interactions with adaptive numerics requiring no user input.

How to get it
SimScale's nonlinear functionality is built directly into static, dynamic, heat transfer, and thermomechanical analysis. All SimScale structural packages come with our complete nonlinear functionality, as we believe everyone should have access to the physics needed for effective product development.
