Ease of Use and Productivity Features Speed Adoption
SimOffice is designed for ease-of-use and maximum productivity, with features that save time and simplify the steps involved in creating models and running analyses. Standard, expandable property libraries, geometry-based loads and boundary conditions, and graphical tools for picking and creating sets of model entities make simulation in SimOffice fast and easy.

Taking productivity to a higher level, built-in connectivity with Microsoft Windows applications enables Excel-driven analysis, Visual Basic scripting for automated simulation processes, and MS Office result reports to empower design analysis for true business impact.

Interoperability Enables Better Collaboration
With SimOffice, engineers can directly import and export 3D solid models from a variety of popular CAD systems, including: CATIA, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, and any software using Parasolids or ACIS geometry. SimOffice also supports file exchange with other finite element analysis products to enable collaboration and knowledge sharing across the organisation and the supply chain. SimOffice is fully compatible with Patran - the leading pre- and post-processors for CAE simulation - and supports existing automation scripts developed in Patran Command Language (PCL) to leverage the knowledge of expert analysts.

SimOffice is powered by the MD Nastran solver, the industry standard for finite element analysis in automotive, aerospace, and other manufacturing industries. MD Nastran model compatibility empowers engineers working in complex supply chains to share models and data across their own enterprise and with other suppliers and OEMs. SimOffice's connectivity with Microsoft Windows also provides model and document sharing with SharePoint Services, and real-time collaboration using Microsoft Groove.

Scalability Ensures Investment Protection
SimOffice is designed to help you grow your simulation capabilities as your company's needs expand. Upwardly compatible with the enterprise MD Nastran solution, SimOffice provides a growth path towards more intensive, complex multidiscipline simulations. Large SimOffice models can be sent to high performance compute servers running MD Nastran and re-used with minimal effort for complete multi-discipline analysis.
