Strength Wizard

(OP)
Has any used this, if so what are some opions.  

I am looking into using this as an upfront feas. option.  Our designs would still need our CAE depts. signoff but from a early stage is it easy enough to use and are the results on par with a full blown analysis?

Thanks.

RE: Strength Wizard

I have used it as an early design verification tool and it works good. I can say that for simple geometries the result is good but for more complex ones it ain“t as good as a full blown analysis but it gives you at least a hint what needs to be done.

A tip: When you constrain the modell you usually use an edge or a surface, but with the "subdivided face" feature you can split the surface to an userdefinied size and shape to replicate the load case more realisticly.

RE: Strength Wizard

I've used it too, and it works well. But only for preliminarey FEA - go/no-go situations. The FEA dept will still need to do final optimization.
