Design on the web. Run on the cloud.
Perform mechanical analysis of your products without installing expensive and hard-to learn software, nor buying expensive and one-time-use hardware, nor recurring to expensive experts (yet).
Generate an engineering-grade report with your name and your logo that gives the percentage of resistance your product has under working loads, supported by the finite-element theory.
Your projects and reports can be shared with your colleagues, suppliers and/or customers. Keep all your work always available and access them even from your tablet or smartphone.
A web-based interface for finite-element analysis running on the cloud based on a separation of the front-end from the back-end.
No need to install new software.
No need to install new hardware.
Both the front-end and the back-end are automatically updated and synchronized without needing user intervention.
No need to specify displacement conditions for every direction.
No need to completely restrict rigid-body motions.
External loads can be given as pressure, total forces or as the projection of the stress tensor over the outward normal of faces.
Volumetric loads (weight, centrifugal or general expressions) can be applied.
CAD models can be provided in either BREP (recommended), STEP or IGES.
Assemblies and multi-material bodies can be used.
A collaboration environment a-la-Google-Docs is provided.
Different users can have read, write or admin access to projects.
Each project maintains a full history of changes, and and it can be reverted to any particular revision using Git.
PythonOCC (which itself relies on OpenCASCADE) for analyzing and processing the CAD models.
Gmsh for the mesh generation (that also reads CAD models using OpenCASCADE).
Fino (developed from scratch by Seamplex) for the solution of the elastic and heat-conduction problems (using GSL and PETSc as the main libraries).
Different meshing algorithms can be selected for either two and three-dimensional entities (Delaunay, Frontal, MeshAdapt, etc).
Local mesh refinement from the curvature of the geometry can be performed.
Either first or second-order tetrahedral grids can be generated.
Provides a comprehensive material database with the possibility of adding new materials with tailored properties.
Post-processing can be done online (basic) or offline (advanced) by downloading a VTK file.
Generates high-quality PDF reports (using LaTeX) with integrated revision control (using Git).
Screenshots can be taken at any moment to be included either in the PDF report or in other customized media (i.e. presentations).
Sensitive data is encrypted both during transfer (TLS) and at storage (AES). User passwords are stored as salted hashes.
It has redundant, diverse and independent back-up copies of user data.
A simple tutorial illustrates the main CAEplex’ features.
Hexahedral, prismatic and pyramidal elements.
Fine control of meshing options and parameters.
Integration with Onshape. See this video for a preview.
Non-trivial spatial dependent (i.e. through a pointwise-defined temperature field) of material properties.
More complex boundary conditions for both loads and displacements.
Customization of layout and colors.
Lightweight PDF datasheets with main results.
