Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC) has released COSMOS/Works 5.0, a design analysis, optimization, and simulation software embedded in SolidWorks 99. This new release offers major new capabilities, including a world-class volume mesher and AccuStress, a transitional mesher that provides stress accuracy results and user controls never before available in the mainstream design market.

Key Takeaways:

  • COSMOS/Works 5.0 offers a world-class volume mesher and AccuStress, a transitional mesher that provides stress accuracy results and user controls.
  • The software provides fully iterative shape optimization, made effective through the availability of AccuStress's extremely accurate stress results and COSMOS/FFE's very fast iteration of solutions.
  • COSMOS/Works can analyze assemblies with contact and gaps, making it easy for designers to analyze press fits and bearing surfaces.
  • AccuStress automatically detects small areas of geometry and places small elements at those positions, then transitions the mesh smoothly to the global size.
  • The software addresses a wide range of applications, from conceptual designs to engineering large assemblies, and provides solutions tailored to specific user needs.
  • COSMOS/Works features native Windows integration and full associativity with SolidWorks.
  • The software offers intermediate and advanced bundles containing nonlinear, dynamic response, fatigue, and low frequency electromagnetic analysis capabilities.

Statistics:

  • COSMOS/Works 5.0 is embedded in SolidWorks 99.
  • The software offers a wide range of analysis capabilities, including stress, displacement, frequency, buckling, and both steady-state and transient thermal analyses.
  • COSMOS/Works 5.0 provides solutions for conceptual designs, engineering large assemblies, manufacturability, and Web-based visualization.
  • Over 100 interfaces to popular CAD/CAM/CAE programs are provided by SRAC.
  • The company has headquarters in Los Angeles and can be reached at 310/207-2800 or via the Web at www.cosmosm.com.
