About

Adams helps engineers to study the dynamics of moving parts, and how loads and forces are distributed throughout mechanical systems. Product manufacturers often struggle to understand true system performance until very late in the design process. Mechanical, electrical, and other subsystems are validated against their specific requirements within the systems engineering process, but full-system testing and validation comes late, leading to rework and design changes that are riskier and more costly than those made early on. As the world's most famous and widely used Multibody Dynamics (MBD) software, Adams improves engineering efficiency and reduces product development costs by enabling early system-level design validation. Engineers can evaluate and manage the complex interactions between disciplines including motion, structures, actuation, and controls to better optimize product designs for performance, safety, and comfort.

About

Designcenter Solid Edge is a Siemens product development portfolio that provides tools for mechanical design, electrical design, simulation, manufacturing, technical publications, data management, and collaboration. It combines the speed of direct modeling with the control of parametric design through synchronous technology. The software helps teams create 2D drawings, 3D models, electrical systems, simulations, manufacturing outputs, 3D printing workflows, and technical documentation. Designcenter Solid Edge is designed to be affordable, easy to learn, and scalable for different product development needs. It supports faster design changes, reuse of supplier CAD parts, realistic 3D modeling, and collaboration across engineering and manufacturing teams. With its complete portfolio of connected tools, Designcenter Solid Edge helps companies bring better products to market more efficiently.

About

VPS-MICRO predicts the life of manufactured parts by simulating the behavior of the materials they’re made from. VPS-MICRO is built on three inescapable truths. Durability is not a function of applied stress, alone, but rather a combination of that stress and the material’s reaction to it. The materials we use to build complex components and systems are not homogenous. Computer cycles are shorter and cheaper than physical testing cycles or prototyping. Using these ideas as a foundation, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® is a computational software that accurately accounts for a material’s reaction to the stress imparted upon it, its variability and all its various damage mechanisms, its geometry, and the conditions of its usage over time. The result is a 3D, time and condition-based product simulation that accurately and efficiently reflects the real world physics of how, when and why damage occurs.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Everything works great. Easy to use and good pricing. It makes things easier. I love the support channel and the trainings.

Cons

  • Nothing so far. It could always be for free, I guess :)
