  Advanced Simulation Technology Preview
  August 6, 2008, 03:18 PM Jay Tedeschi

  New on ‘Labs this week… the Advanced Simulation Technology Preview. For users who are currently using Inventor Professional 2009 or Inventor Simulation Suite 2009 “ASTP” will enable you to directly read Inventor parts and assemblies and analyze them from a stress and modal frequency standpoint.

  

  One of the biggest advantages of using the Advanced Simulation Technology Preview is the ability to optimize designs based on parametric model changes. 

  

  A design which exceeds the ultimate strength of the materials used may be driven through multiple iterations via model parameters until a version which meets the design requirements is found. In this example, the stresses in a support arm are brought to an acceptable level through the addition and sizing of a set of strengthening ribs.

  

  Automatic mesh refinement and contact detection will get you up and on your way quickly and greatly simplify the process of setting up the simulation environment correctly. It’s a good thing! And it’s over at ‘Labs right now.
