SimSolid Software | Meshless Structural Simulation for CAD Assemblies
Altair SimSolid runs structural simulation directly on original, unsimplified CAD—no meshing required—so engineers can evaluate designs faster and iterate more often.

What is Altair SimSolid?
Altair SimSolid is a meshless structural analysis tool designed to run simulations directly on CAD geometry, including large assemblies. Instead of spending time simplifying models and generating meshes, you can focus on what matters: loads, connections, materials, and design decisions.
SimSolid is ideal for teams that need fast answers during design iteration, when speed and practicality matter as much as accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
SimSolid analyzes CAD assemblies without the traditional meshing workflow, reducing model preparation steps.
Yes—includes bonded/sliding/separating contact (with friction) and an extensive connections library (bolts, welds, rivets, adhesives, etc.).
Altair lists a broad set, including linear/nonlinear static, thermal and coupled thermal-stress, modal, fatigue, and dynamics (time/frequency/random response).
Altair lists isotropic, orthotropic, elasto-plastic, rigid materials, plus gas and liquid bodies.
Yes—SimSolid is designed for large assemblies and can handle rough contact surfaces with gaps and overlapping geometry.
