Solid Edge ST7 Assembly Simulation

Siemens has created great software that allows seamless transition of geometry that may have once seemed impossible or very difficult to make useful as well as time consuming. Solid Edge with the latest release of ST7 has the ability to take a single body translated parasolid file and quickly modify it to have multiple bodies.

Application Engineer, Dylan Malek, walks you through the short steps to converts these bodies into sheet metal parts, which then allow to make mid surface faces. These faces can then be easily and accurately used in Finite Element Analysis or FEA.

Splitting the surface to do point load analysis in most FEA software can be very tedious. However, in Solid Edge ST7, the model in the video below took three simple steps for the part to be ready for a load to be applied.
