Range Software

Area of use (physical models):

• Stress analysis: static and transient (linear elasto-dynamics) for line, surface (plane stress with thickness) and volume elements, including thermal expansion, gravity and weight loads
• Modal analysis (eigenfrequencies and mode shapes)
• Steady-state and transient heat transfer with simple, forced and natural convection
• Thermal radiation (hemicube view factors)
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD): steady-state and transient incompressible viscous flow of Newtonian fluids
• Heat transfer in fluids
• Contaminant dispersion in the flow field
• Flow through porous media
• Acoustics: transient and harmonic (frequency domain), with absorbing and impedance boundaries
• Electrostatics: electric field, current density and Joule heat
• Magnetostatics
• Multi-physics coupling, e.g. fluid pressure and temperature fields as loads in stress analysis, Joule heat into heat transfer

Advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows:

• Import of STL, STEP and RAW geometry, and export to STL, STEP, MSH and RAW.
• Creation of geometry from primitives (point, line, triangle, quadrilateral, circle, ellipse, tetrahedron, hexahedron, cylinder, sphere) and Boolean operations (union, difference, intersection).
• Repair of geometry errors: close holes, merge near or duplicate nodes, find and fix sliver and intersected elements, synchronize normals, coarsen surfaces.
• Scale, translate and rotate geometry.
• Automatic 3D quality tetrahedral mesh generation.
• Loads, constraints and initial conditions can be applied to points, lines, surfaces and volumes, optionally in local directions.
• Built-in material library.
• Monitoring of solver convergence and of values at user-defined monitoring points.
• Visually evaluate calculated results directly on the model (scalar and vector fields, cuts, iso-surfaces, stream lines) or as a graph.
• Record animations of results to video.
• Run solvers locally or in the cloud.
• Produce design reports in HTML and PDF.
