DesignCheck

DesignCheck is a first-pass, fully integrated simulation tool that is designed to be used with Pro/ENGINEER — the integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE program from Parametric Technology Corp. DesignCheck is a time-limited finite element analysis (FEA) software that allows engineers and designers to perform linear static stress analysis of single-part CAD models. Users can virtually test the behavior of product designs, speed time-to-market, and make better, safer products more cheaply. The easy-to-use single-user interface FEMPRO offers direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with most CAD solid modelers, and allows engineers to choose among the following analysis tools: static stress and mechanical event simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models; computational fluid dynamics (CFD), including steady-state and transient heat transfer, and steady and unsteady fluid flow and mass transfer; linear dynamics; fatigue; electrostatics; full multiphysics; and piping.
