Advanced Simulation vs. Stress Wizard
Advanced Simulation vs. Stress Wizard
(OP)
I'm trying to run some simulations in NX7. At this point I've been trying to get by on the Stress Wizard, but it really loves to crash on a fairly free-form part I'm trying to analyze. I do not have an Advanced Simulation license, and it would be great if I didn't have to shell out to get it. Am I correct in understanding that the Stress Wizard is a pretty basic solver? Is the engine in Advanced Simulation more capable of solving a complex part? To get a rough idea of what I'm trying to solve - It's a uniform wall thickness part - 816mm x 316mm x 24mm and needs to carry a load of 640kg distributed between 16 points. Is that too much for the Stress Wizard?

Anyhow I keep hearing that it's a weak solver and I'm trying to do more than it is capable of. The Advanced Simulation costs many times my budget. I tried Roshaz, but had very limited success in getting a solid model into it. It did work when it made a solid, but on complex surfaces it failed. I think I'm going with SolidWorks Professional (formerly CosmosWORKS) as it's about 1/6 the cost of NX Advanced Simulation.
