DADS/FEA

DADS/FEA automatically extracts and formats model data for use in DADS analysis and animation from popular FEA programs including ABAQUS, ANSYS, NASTRAN, and I-DEAS. DADS/FEA uses component modal synthesis to superimpose flexibility characteristics on rigid body motion, which is critical for accurate representation of modern lightweight, high-speed mechanical systems. The resulting DADS simulation provides realistic system force and loading conditons for advanced FEA. Reviewing simulation results is enhanced by DADS/FEA flexible animation, in which deformation of system components is displayed, and can also be superimposed simultanteously on the rigid structure, during animation.
