Simpack 

Simpack is a general purpose multibody simulation (MBS) software used for the dynamic analysis of any mechanical or mechatronic system. It enables engineers to generate and solve virtual 3D models in order to predict and visualize motion, coupling forces and stresses. From initial concept designs, through to production and redesigns, Simpack is used to help engineers fully comprehend and optimize systems, vastly reduce the need for physical prototyping, reduce time-to-market and to improve product quality and lifespan. In essence Simpack enables manufacturers to gain a competitive edge by offering the ability create high quality products in a time and materially efficient manner thus reducing overall costs in design, production and maintenance. Simpack is the market leader for simulating transient non-linear system behavior with flexible bodies, even up into the acoustic range. Diversity and good connectivity to various control, hydraulic and FE software enable Simpack to be easily integrated into any manufacturer’s already-established development processes.   XFlow XFlow is a high performance kinetic particle based solver for efficient Large Eddy Simulation (LES) calculations. This particle-based technology is able to circumvent much of the time-consuming meshing and model development tasks typically associated with traditional Navier-Stokes approaches allowing engineers to focus more of their attention on design evaluation and optimization.  

• Unique, particle-based Lattice Boltzmann technology for high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• State-of-the-art technology enables users to address complex CFD problems involving high frequency transient aerodynamics,
• Real moving geometries,
• Complex multiphase flows,
• Fluid structure interactions,
• Aero acoustics
• and much more!

The SIMULIA Academic Research Suite has the same functionality as our commercial code, and is a powerful tool for conducting state of the art research. Students from Bachelor through to Masters and Doctoral level programs, as well as Post-Doctoral Researchers, are able to analyze and solve realistic engineering problems. Powerful, user-defined subroutines allow flexibility in modeling advanced research materials, and unlimited model sizes and parallel processing capabilities make all simulation jobs possible The SIMULIA Academic Research Suite may be used for research or teaching purposes. The SIMULIA Academic Teaching Suite also includes the same functionality as our commercial codes, but limits the model sizes of the Abaqus structural simulations to a very workable 250,000 nodes The Teaching Suite contains a license size appropriate for supporting a classroom of users, and is priced with teaching and educational budgets in mind. The SIMULIA Academic Teaching Suite is limited to teaching and project-based work and is not allowed for fundamental research associated with post-graduate level thesis projects. The Simpack Teaching and Research license contains commercial-level functionality and may be used for either Academic research or teaching. The XFlow Academic Research license contains commercial-level functionality and may be used for either academic research or teaching. The XFlow Academic Teaching license contains the following limitations:

• Model size limited to 5M elements 
• Solver run limited to 8 cores
• Contractually restricted for education purposes only

The SIMULIA Academic Portfolio of products:

• Use a floating network licensing system, in which a pool of licenses is shared among a group of authorized users. Each time an application is executed, one or more licenses are “checked out” from the pool, reducing the number of licenses available for others. When the application is closed, the licenses are “checked in” and made available for other users.

•   One computer on your network, referred to as the license server, is designated to keep track of the number and types of licenses used. Requests to run software are granted or denied depending upon current availability. The license server may or may not be the same computer you use to actually run the software. Large user groups should use a license server that’s consistently on the network and accessible at all time by all users. Conversely, a customer with a single-user license may choose to use their lap-top as both the license server and to execute the software.

• Common to all products, with the exception of Simpack, is the ability to purchase GUIs (seats) and analysis functionality separately. This allows the flexibility to control both the number of users and the processing power separately to support your specific needs.

SIMULIA offers academic licenses to accredited, degree granting institutions for use in teaching and fundamental research. Academic licenses are offered at substantially reduced rates compared to the commercial versions of the software. Eligibility for academic licensing requires that the software:

• is licensed to degree-granting, educational institutions only, and
• is used only by enrolled students and/or faculty dedicated to education and research, and
• is used for educational and/or grant research purposes only, and
• is used for non-commercial work, where results are non-proprietary and are publicly available, and
• cannot be used for work-for-hire under commercial and/or government contract terms.

Academic Licenses are governed by the Dassault Systèmes Customer License Agreement which will be provided to you with an official quotation or upon request. Several commercial licensing options are available for fundamental or applied research that does not meet all of the above criteria.

Did you know that SIMULIA offers free software to degree granting academic institutions for student competition teams such as Formula SAE, World Solar Challenge, and others? Visit the SIMULIA Academic Sponsorship page for more information.
