LiveLink™ for SpaceClaim®

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING: The picture shows a thermal simulation of an exhaust manifold.

LiveLink™ for SpaceClaim®

LiveLink™ for the SpaceClaim® CAD system brings you the fusion of direct modeling and multiphysics simulation in a tightly integrated environment, enabling optimal designs and collaboration across CAD and CAE teams.

The LiveLink interface allows you to synchronize 3D geometry between SpaceClaim® to COMSOL Multiphysics. The synchronized geometry in the COMSOL model stays associative with the geometry in SpaceClaim®. This means that settings applied to the geometry, like physics or mesh settings, are retained after subsequent synchronizations. Full bidirectionality allows you to initiate a change of the SpaceClaim® geometry from the COMSOL model.

All LiveLink for CAD products include all the capabilities of the CAD Import Module. This lets you import and defeature files from all major CAD packages.
