NEiFusion 1.4
Introduction
NEi Fusion is the perfect analysis tool for users new to FEA, consultants, individual engineers, and small companies. It combines the widely used Parasolid geometry engine for modeling with highly accurate NEi Nastran Solvers providing a high quality analysis package at an extremely affordable price. With NEi Fusion, you also have a direct migration path to higher level analysis when the need arises.
Parts and assemblies can be analysed for a wide spectrum of static and dynamic structural and thermal loading.
Why wait until prototypes are built, expensive test fixtures developed or actual field usage to find out how your design will perform? NEi Fusion lets you apply forces, pressure, thermal conditions, temperature, vibration, and impact loads and more. You see the deformation, stresses, strains, heat transfer, and modal shapes that your design will experience. Through a variety of highly visual images, contour plots, animations, graphs, and output data, you get the engineering insight you need to innovate and optimise, so you can achieve the best quality, lowest manufacturing costs, and fastest time to market in today’s hyper competitive global marketplace.
NEi Fusion Modeler
The NEi Fusion Modeler is built on an industry proven, Windows based, fully associative, parameterized, feature based, solid modeling engine that provides a full set of advanced and powerful tools for fast, easy, intuitive, and robust model creation. A wide range of CAD data import capabilities complements the 3D modeling tools to help you build your models quickly when existing CAD files are available.
NEi Fusion Pre Processor
A comprehensive element library, sophisticated meshing capabilities, and extensive material library insure you get real world fidelity and professional level simulation.
NEi Fusion Nastran Solvers
NEi Fusion employs the same industry regarded NEi Nastran Solvers found in all of our analysis products. That means you can expect solutions that are accurate, precise, and reliable. Nastran assures that you achieve the best possible real world representation along with extremely fast turn around time on solutions.
NEi Fusion Post Processor
NEi Fusion post processing not only provides a wide variety images, graphs and data by which to view your simulation results but also is equipped with wide file sharing and import/export capabilities so you can easily share your FEA models and results with vendors, design partners, suppliers, customers, and other segments of your organisation. An important consideration in today’s highly collaborative work environment.
NEi Fusion comes with the choice of two solver packages:
Basic - This solver suite allows analysis and simulation of Linear Statics, Modal Analysis, Buckling, Prestress, and Steady State Heat Transfer problems. NEiFusion Basic comes with NEi Nastran Modules L1 and L2, details>>
Expert - This solver suite comes with all the analysis types in the Basic package and adds Advanced Dynamics, Nonlinear Analysis, and Transient Heat Transfer. NEiFusion Expert comes with NEi Nastran Modules L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5, details>>
NEi Fusion comes in two configurations:
Designer Configuration: this is the lowest price option. The low price is achieved by coupling the NEi Fusion Modeler and the NEi Nastran solvers together so that they must be used together, that is, the NEi Nastran solvers cannot be used with any other pre- and post-processors. If wider level analysis capabilities are ever needed, an upgrade option exists that enables conversion to the Analyst Configuration for unrestricted use of NEi Nastran solver capabilities with other pre/posts.
Analyst Configuration: in this version, the NEi Nastran solvers are independent of the NEi Fusion Modeler and are available to work with any other pre- and post-processors. The Analyst Configuration arrangement is useful in environments where multiple pre- and post-processors may be needed or are in use (e.g. NEiNastran Modeler, FEMAP, Patran, HyperMesh, ANSA, and others). Also, the Analyst Configuration includes the NEiNastran Editor. This feature enables additional post-processing capabilities, model data editing, and access to real time solution data.
