From virtual prototyping of shapes to virtual prototyping of performance: A comprehensive solution for designers in mechanism and stress analysis.
SimWise 4D for Alibre is a software tool that simulates and verifies the performance of mechanical parts and assemblies. In designs composed of numerous mechanical components, fundamental concerns arise such as "Will it function?" or "Will it break?" and obtaining answers to these questions becomes a challenge. By using SimWise 4D for Alibre, it is possible to clarify functional performance and strength performance at the design stage before manufacturing physical prototypes for laboratory or field testing. This allows for the exploration of many design options with high cost-effectiveness without the need to manufacture physical prototypes until the intended performance is achieved.

basic information
■SimWise Motion Mechanism Analysis Module By importing shapes, mass properties, and constraints from Alibre Design to SimWise and adding entities for mechanisms, you can easily create virtual prototypes that operate according to the design. The constructed virtual prototypes are simulated using advanced physical and mathematical methods, and the results can be displayed in various graphic and numerical formats. This allows for a quick assessment of how the design operates and whether modifications are needed to meet the design intent. ■SimWise FEA Stress Analysis Module Many operations in SimWise FEA are automated and can be performed with simple actions. By importing shapes from Alibre Design and adding structural and thermal entities to the model, a structural prototype that corresponds to the design is generated. The generated prototype is simulated using advanced physical and mathematical methods, and the results are presented in various graphic and numerical formats, enabling a rapid determination of whether the design meets the intended operational strength or requires modifications.

Company information
Currently, in the manufacturing industry, the adoption of 3D design has significantly increased compared to a few years ago, and a lot of 3D data is beginning to accumulate even in the upstream processes of product development. However, in mechanical design, 2D design remains the mainstream, and throughout the entire product development process, a large amount of 2D data is still being utilized. This may be due to the tendency for 3D CAD to remain limited to "specific users only." Additionally, the current situation may also reflect a lack of environments where potential users who need 3D data can feel its benefits. At Three D S, we aim to ensure that the "effective use of 3D data" is not just for a select few users, but rather to make improvements in operational efficiency and productivity more accessible to everyone by providing high-performance application tools that offer excellent cost performance.
