SVSolid 2D represents the next level in stress / deformation finite element modeling. Designed to be simple and effective, the software offers features designed to allow the user to focus on stress / deformation solutions, not convergence problems or difficult mesh creation.

Great care has been taken to model our geometry CAD-style input after the popular AutoCAD(TM) software. Boundary conditions may be specified as constant or free-form equations of temperature or gradients.

The finite element solution makes use of fully automatic mesh generation and mesh refinement to solve the problem quickly as well as indicating zones of critical gradient.
