1 NEWorks Overvew Hgh Performance Embedded FEA for SoldWorks. Fnte Element Analyss (FEA) As a SoldWorks user, you apprecate the ease-of-use, ntegraton, productvty and communcaton tools that let you produce hgh qualty, accurate desgns and get them to market faster. Smlarly, you want your FEA software to provde the same benefts n the area of engneerng analyss and smulaton. You want to gan nsght nto dfferent aspects of your desgn -- structural, thermal, dynamc, and verfy crtcal desgn elements on your desktop before you commt resources to expensve and tme consumng prototypes and test programs. s the most wdely used FEA software n the world. It has been proven over several decades and has become the establshed standard n aerospace, automotve and martme ndustres. However, for most of ts hstory, FEA has been a tool confned to hgh end analyss n very large corporatons because of the cost and sophstcaton of the hardware and software. Now Noran Engneerng, Inc. (NE) has developed a product strategy that allows FEA technology to move n a dfferent drecton makng t affordable, easer to use, and accessble to a much wder engneerng and desgn communty. NEWorks not only gves SoldWorks desgners easy-to-use embedded Fnte Element Analyss (1 and 2) but s unque and forward lookng n ts ablty to share ths data wth the world of NASTRAN analysts (e.g. NE, NX, MSC) va the Bulk Data Fle (3). NEWorks, Embedded FEA for SoldWorks NEWorks s a breakthrough product. Embedded n SoldWorks, NEWorks s able to ntegrate all the comprehensve hgh end FEA capabltes of NE wth 3D sold modelng. NEWorks retans the same look-and-feel, menu, and tree type structures of SoldWorks. Users experence the famlar envronment and ease of use they have come to expect whle gettng a comprehensve range of new engneerng analyss capabltes. Wth NEWorks you can start wth lnear statcs and move up to hghly advanced nonlnear and transent analyss or vrtual smulaton of structural, thermal and dynamc problems. Plus, NEWorks can share results wth the entre communty of users, lke NE, NX and MSC usng text fles for nput data and results va standard OP2 format - an mportant consderaton f you need to work wth customers, supplers or desgn partners usng. Recognzed, Powerful, Affordable FEA Introduced n December 2004, NEWorks has receved recognton from NASA Tech Brefs magazne, beng named as a fnalst n ts Product of the Year Competton. Desktop Engneerng magazne also pcked NEWorks n ts Edtor's choce. NEWorks has also receved SoldWorks Soluton Partner status. Most mportantly, SoldWorks users wll fnd NEWorks extremely affordable because t can be purchased n a confguraton that matches ther work envronment. For example, network nstallatons can beneft from sharng solvers over multple users wth mult seat dscounts. NEWorks comes n Basc or Expert versons wth affordable mantenance and upgrade optons.

4 NEWorks Basc Hgh Performance Embedded FEA for SoldWorks. NEWorks Basc, embedded FEA for SoldWorks NEWorks Basc s a true Fnte Element Analyss (FEA) Program embedded nto the SoldWorks sold modelng program. You can carry out FEA on SoldWorks parts and assembles from wthn the SoldWorks envronment. NEWorks Basc s fully ntegrated, uses the SoldWorks geometry engne, and provdes the same look and feel as the host SoldWorks program, va an dentcal menu and tree type structure. NEWorks Basc has receved Soluton Partner status. NEWorks s embedded n SoldWorks and provdes the same look and feel. Easy to learn and use, covers the major analyses types One of the most common types of analyss needed by desgn engneers s lnear statc analyss. By far, lnear statc structural analyss represents the majorty of the analyses performed. NEWorks Basc makes ths type of analyss easy to do. Startng wth your SoldWorks part, loads and boundary condtons are appled usng a seres of pull down menus to defne the force or pressure on the structure and the drecton. Smlarly, constrants are defned. The materal s then selected from a materal lbrary or you can defne a materal by enterng approprate propertes, ncludng orthotropc materals and compostes. The part s meshed automatcally wth provsons for manual control. Results can be dsplayed n a wde varety of formats from contour plots of stress, stran and dsplacement, to graphcal outputs, tabular data lstngs, and anmatons. Context senstve Help s avalable to assst you at every step. NEWorks results dsplay of a lnear statc analyss wth a contour plot of stress. In addton to structural analyss, NEWorks Basc lets you perform heat transfer analyss provdng temperature and heat flux plots. Modal analyss s also ncluded whch s used to reveal vbratons n structures. See the NEWorks Product Chart for a complete lstng of Analyss Types and Post Processng capabltes of NEWorks Basc and NEWorks Expert. Saves Tme and Money, Connects You wth Customers and Desgn Partners NEWorks Basc lets you graduate from hand calculatons, elmnate successve rounds of prototypes and testng, explore desgn alternatves, and verfy your engneerng judgments. Plus, a major feature of NEWorks - you wll be able to pass your work on to a large establshed base of analysts who use NE, NX and MSC.. Ths can be a key busness consderaton n allowng you to easly communcate and work wth potental customers, supplers, or desgn partners. NEWorks lets you pass your FEA results to all other users usng common fle formats. Customer Drven Solutons

5 NEWorks Expert Hgh Performance Embedded FEA for SoldWorks. NEWorks Expert NEWorks Expert, the power of FEA Solvers combned wth SoldWorks ease of use NEWorks Expert brngs hgh end FEA to SoldWorks users and to experenced analysts who are lookng for the next generaton n nnovatve pre and post processng capabltes. NEWorks Expert ntegrates the sold geometry capabltes of SoldWorks wth the accuracy, speed, and power of NE solvers to gve users an FEA envronment that elmnates tme consumng and frustratng assocated tasks lke geometry cleanup and remeshng for part changes allowng more tme for true analyss and smulaton work. Plus, a major feature of NEWorks - you can pass your work on to the large establshed base of analysts who use NE, NX and MSC.. Ths can be a key busness consderaton n allowng you to easly communcate and work wth potental customers, supplers, or desgn partners. SoldWorks 3D Part NEWorks Expert also ncludes a number of features that wll appeal to experenced FEA analysts. The 3D Surface Contact capabltes greatly smplfy ths type of commonly needed analyss. The ndustry unque Edtor feature boosts productvty, saves tme and frustraton n settng up solutons and smplfes problem set-up by provdng control of program operaton, model edtng, trade off study generaton, and results analyss. NEWorks' Cause, Acton, Remarks formatted error and warnng messages make t easy to dagnose and quckly correct model errors. It s a welcomed change from cryptc and obscure error messages that can make software frustratng and unnecessarly dffcult. NEWorks Meshed Part NEWorks Input Fle Connecton wth the communty, at an affordable prce NEWorks Contour Plot A full complement of hgh end analyss types and features NEWorks Expert bulds on the lnear, modal, and steady state heat transfer capabltes of NEWorks Basc by addng lnear dynamcs and nonlnear capabltes for stress, stran, bucklng, and event smulaton. For thermal problems, temperature dependent materals, radaton, convecton, and heat power are ncluded. Plus NEWorks Expert ncludes Drop Test analyss and Model Reducton capabltes. See the NEWorks Expert Product Chart for a complete lstng of Analyss Types and Post Processng capabltes. NEWorks Expert wll gve you entry to the large establshed base of analysts who use NE, NX and MSC. allowng you to more easly communcate wth potental customers, supplers, or desgn partners. Ths s a great way to break down barrers between desgn and analyss functons, mprove communcaton, shorten desgn cycles and connect wth valuable busness partners. Addtonally, NEWorks s hghly affordable. You get the most FEA for your budget wth dscounts for multple seat nstallatons, the ablty to share solvers n network nstallatons, and the ablty to run SoldWorks smultaneously wth the NE solver.
