New Product Offering: Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite Subscription Add-On.

We are excited to announce the launch of Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite, a new yearly subscription add-on designed to enhance the IRONCAD or INOVATE perpetual license with accessible, powerful static stress analysis capabilities. This product provides an entry point for design engineers to leverage the robust Multiphysics for IronCAD technology, tailored for basic static stress analysis needs.


Product Overview: 

Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite is a streamlined solution focused on delivering essential static stress analysis tools to IronCAD users. Key features include:

  • Static Stress Analysis Only: Focused exclusively on static stress, with no support for other analysis types or thermal analysis.
  • Boundary Conditions: Limited to deformation analysis. 
  • Auto-Tying Capability: Simplifies connections between assembly parts, with auto-tying included to address CAD tolerance issues.
  • Supported Loads: Includes pressure, force, acceleration (gravity), and spinning/centrifugal loads.
  • Meshing: Utilizes CAD gluing for meshing, without support for shell, 2D, or tolerance discrete gluing (available in MPIC Basic and Advanced).
  • Analysis Report: Comprehensive reporting functionality to document and share results.
  • Performance: Solving is optimized to use a maximum of 2 threads for efficient processing.

Why Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite?

  • Cost-Effective: A budget-friendly subscription model that complements the IronCAD perpetual license.
  • User-Friendly: Tailored for engineers new to simulation or needing basic static stress simulation, with intuitive tools and auto-tying to simplify workflows.
  • Powerful Integration: Leverages the proven Multiphysics for IronCAD technology, ensuring reliable and accurate static stress analysis.

Note: Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite Add-on for the IronCAD Perpetual license is the same offering found on the Enterprise Subscription but offer now as an individual yearly subscription to IronCAD perpetual license users.

Availability

Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite is available as a yearly subscription add-on to the IRONCAD or INOVATE perpetual license. Multiphysics for IronCAD Lite lists for $450 yearly
