Advantages of SVSolid 2D
The SVSolid
automated stress/deformation modeling software package is not designed
to be just another stress/deformation modeling package. It is specifically
designed to bring stress/deformation modeling to "the next level". As
such, it offers the following significant advantages over currently available
stress/deformation modeling software packages:


- Automatic
mesh generation - Fully automatic mesh generation is provided
based on problem geometry. The automatic mesh generation allows
for simulation of extremely complex problems drawn manually or
imported from AutoCAD.
- Automatic
mesh refinement - SVSolid is the only stress/deformation
software package worldwide to provide automatic mesh refinement
based on any problem variable. For example, mesh refinement
can be set to respond to stress in the x or y direction, strains
in the x or y direction, etc.
- Customizable Solutions - This unique feature allows experimental formulations to be tested with no programming effort. For more information on this feature, click here.
- AutoCAD
DXF import - SVSolid allows problem geometry to be
imported from an AutoCAD DXF file thereby greatly reducing
the time required to design a model. The automatic mesh
generation automatically adapts to difficult imported
geometry.
- Database Driven - All created models are stored in a database.
This allows the user to develop a database of models. Models are organized
by project and model type for future reference. All previous models
can be used as templates in the creation of future models. The database
format is also ideal for multi-user environments. The database file
may be installed on a server and multiple users may "plug in" to the
same file. All model creation is therefore centralized and available
to the entire company.
- Increased
solution stability - The automatic mesh refinement
present in SVSolid causes the mesh to be refined around
critical zones of the solution mesh. There are two benefits
of this refinement. (1) The user is able to determine
the location of critical zones visually, and, (2) the
ability of SVSolid to converge around these critical
zones is better than conventional stress/deformation
software. The solver used by SVSolid uses the Galerkin
Integral method with a non-linear Newton-Raphson iteration
technique with pre-conditioning of the convergence matrix.
The pre-conditioning of the convergence matrix significantly
improves convergence stability.
- Problem
Customization - Models set up by the front end are written
in a scripting language (similar to MathCAD ™) prior to
being solved by the solver. The models may be modified and/or
prior to solution by end-users familiar with the mathematical
language. Coupling of models may be performed as well as additional
functions or problem variables defined.
- 3D
modeling capabilities - SVSolid2D can be upgraded to
SVSolid3D. SVSolid3D is similar to SVSolid2D and therefore
provides consistency to the end user.
- Metric and Imperial Units - All developed models may be built and viewed using metric or imperial units.
- Multi-User
Database functionality - All created models are stored
in a database. This allows the user to develop a database
of models. Models are organized by project and model type
for future reference. All previous models can be used as
templates in the creation of future models. The database
format is also ideal for multi-user environments. The database
file may be installed on a server and multiple users may "plug in" to
the same file. All model creation is therefore centralized
and available to the entire company.
- Internal
database of model soil properties - An internal database
of soil properties (required for stress/deformation modeling)
is maintained by the SVSolid software (separate from the
SoilVision database). The user therefore has a choice with
each new model to either enter new soil properties or pull
soil properties from a previous problem.
- Flexible
Boundary Conditions - Free form equations or tabled
precipitation data may be input as boundary conditions.
- Price
advantage - SVSolid is designed as high-end stress/deformation
modeling software while not breaking your budget! Click
