Getting your CAD geometries ready for FEA modeling is easier than ever with the CAD Import Module. It facilitates the reading of industry-standard formats such as STEP, IGES, ACIS® (SAT®) or Parasolid®. Extra add-ons support file formats for packages that have their own geometry kernel.
The CAD Import Module goes beyond just the reading of file formats. The interactive repair feature assures that imported geometries are mathematically correct for FEA modeling. And, in order to cut down on unnecessary details in your CAD geometries, defeaturing tools that remove fillets, small faces, sliver faces, as well as spikes or short edges are included.
The CAD Import Module also provides bidirectional interfaces to SolidWorks® and Autodesk® Inventor® that maintain associativity with these CAD systems. This means that geometric parameteric sweeps can be run using the COMSOL models, which result in automatically updating of the CAD geometry in the corresponding CAD system. Such parametric studies can also be run using clusters and can be set up directly from the user interface. For a list of supported versions, see the System Requirements page.

Driving Early Design Validation with SimDesigner Solutions for the CAD Environment
MSC SimDesigner provides analysis plug-in solutions for the CAD environment. The SimDesigner product line has now been expanded to meet the unique design requirements of engineering organizations. The SimDesigner Workbench Edition embeds simulation tools directly inside the CAD system, whereas the new SimDesigner Template Edition offers the ability to run SimEnterprise analysis templates which are developed and managed by analysis experts in the enterprise.
SimDesigner Workbench Edition
SimDesigner Workbench Edition provides a suite of CAD embedded plug-ins that offer native multidisciplinary analysis capabilities for linear and nonlinear structures, thermal, and motion simulation. Engineers benefit from native CAD associativity thereby speeding design-analysis iterations.
SimDesigner Template Client Edition – New!
SimDesigner Template Client Edition is new to the SimDesigner product family! This product provides a method for designers and design engineers to retrieve and execute expert-created simulation templates from directly within their familiar CAD environment – thereby increasing the accuracy of analysis performed by designers.

Inspection equipment and processes are both undergoing rapid changes as companies move from using 2D drawings to CAD models as the preferred method for product definition. This change, coupled with the rising demand for companies to prove the quality of their products, has led to a growing demand for inspection methods that can be used throughout the prototyping, manufacturing and assembly chain. With these techniques, any problems can be highlighted earlier in the development process and so be corrected more quickly and at lower cost.
The increased demand for inspecting parts and tools at multiple times in multiple places within the manufacturing chain requires software products that can be used on a variety of different inspection hardware platforms including Manual CMMs, CNC CMM's, Inspection Arms, Optical MMs, Laser Trackers and Line Laser Probes as well as on Machine Tools. PowerINSPECT provides a common user environment across all these hardware platforms ensuring operators can work flexibly whilst keeping the cost of training at an minimum.
Benefits include:
- Comparison against all mainstream CAD formats
- Rapid alignment even for complex freeform shapes
- Inspection of user-defined sections
- The ability to inspect along the edge of a part
- Full Geometric Inspection capabilities
- Automatic creation of inspection features from CAD nominals
- A step by step Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) Wizard
- Point, wireframe and surface export for measured entities
- CAD manipulation - including surface offsetting (e.g. reverse side for sheet metal, spark gap for electrodes)
- Fully-customisable reporting in easy-to-understand formats
