Component Software for Engineering Analysis
VKI develops and supports DevTools, a suite of component software
development toolkits for computer aided engineering (CAE) applications.
DevTools is used by many of the CAE industry's largest
and most respected software companies worldwide to deliver applications for
structural analysis, heat transfer,
computational fluid dynamics and electromagnetics.
DevTools Version 3.5.3
DevTools is unique for the CAE industry,
providing component development toolkits to enable application developers
to build integrated, customized, low-cost,
end-to-end CAE analysis systems: from
mesh generation and pre-processing through solution
to post-processing and visualization.
|
Pre-Processing
- Finite element mesh generation tools
- Fully automatic curve, surface and volume mesh generation.
- Load and boundary condition management and visualization.
- Automatic beam section and shell laminate calculations
- Compute finite element shape and distortion parameters.
- Visualize all finite
element types, polyhedral cells,
gaps, welds, MPC's, coordinate systems, ...everything.
|
|
Solution
- Modern, high performance finite element formulations for solid, shell and
beam elements.
- Element independent corotational formulation for
large displacements and rotations.
- Material models ranging from linear isotropic and orthotropic to
plastic and hyperelastic.
- Both structural and heat transfer analysis supported.
- Large scale sparse matrix solver and block Lanczos eigensolver.
- Contact us for our results on standard industry tests such as the
MacNeal-Harder problems and the Raasch Hook.
|
Post-Processing
- Ultra fast contouring algorithms and finite element rendering
- Isosurface computation, cutting planes, clipping and capping.
- Streamline generation, vector field topology extraction.
- Discrete scalar, vector and tensor markers.
- Complete annotation, stroked text, coordinate system triads, color legends,
graph axes.
- Data structures for model and results probing.
