The Finite Element Method (FEM) is an essential tool in modern design and product development. With Siemens NX and the NX Nastran module, a wide range of capabilities are available to precisely analyze mechanical structures and carry out optimizations already in the early development phase.
Methodological Fundamentals
NX Nastran enables a broad variety of simulations:
• Linear and nonlinear structural mechanics
• Thermal analyses
• Dynamic investigations (natural frequencies, vibration behavior)
• Fracture and durability analyses
Thanks to the integration into Siemens NX, modeling takes place directly from the CAD dataset, ensuring consistent and time-efficient calculations.
Fields of Application
FEM analysis with Siemens NX provides practical support in:
• Optimization of plastic and metal components
• Assessment of manufacturability and stability of injection molding tools
• Prediction of deformations and stresses in complex assemblies
• Integration of filling simulations in the design process
Benefits for Development
• Early detection of potential design weaknesses
• Reduction of iterations in the physical prototyping phase
• Increased product reliability and service life
• More cost-efficient design of tools and components
Practical Relevance
Our many years of experience in design and simulation enable us to apply FEM methodology efficiently in development projects. Especially in the area of plastic component design, FEM supports the evaluation of design variants and the safe dimensioning for series production.
