Streamline the Simcenter interface to Nastran

OptiAssist is an add-on for Simcenter 3D users and is designed to help you take advantage of the Nastran Optimisation module (SOL200). The software aims to provide a cohesive optimisation environment that extends the current structural optimisation features and streamline the Simcenter interface to Nastran. Using OptiAssist allows engineers to rapidly deliver high performance, lightweight products within a short timeframe.

Compatibility & Prerequisites

As a direct add-in to the Simcenter 3D environment, OptiAssist provides an optimisation environment for Simcenter 3D that works directly with the native model data. OptiAssist for Simcenter 3D supports Simcenter 3D releases 2019.1 onwards.

Composites capabilities work with both the standard Simcenter 3D composite model and the extended capabilities of the Laminate Composite Module. OptiAssist requires Simcenter 3D, Simcenter Nastran and its Design Optimisation Module.

A Platform for Unlocking Design Optimisation

Design optimisation techniques are not new, but their adoption into engineering developments remains relatively low; often applied by an ‘optimisation expert.’ OptiAssist for Simcenter 3D builds on GRM’s experience of applying design optimisation to real world engineering developments, providing an interface that guides engineers, allowing them to unlock the capabilities of design optimisation.
