Customized Software Solutions
High-level engineering analysis software is designed to satisfy the most basic and the most sophisticated engineering needs. Every industry has unique analysis requirements and will typically utilize only a portion of the capability the software provides. In those cases, the standard user interface is unnecessarily complex and confusing to the engineer who is focused on the design of the part.
Kx has developed custom user interfaces and software to suit industry specific needs and to ensure the most efficient use of simulation in the development process.
Examples
Artificial Hip Design and Analysis
The purpose of this software customization assignment was to provide engineers with an easy-to-use tool to help design an artificial hip implant. The custom interface allows design engineers to conduct a variety of fatigue tests with minimal model setup in a virtual test lab.
A white paper about this customized analysis tool was presented at the NAFEMS 2003 Conference (click to view the paper in PDF format).
Web-Based Interface for Geometry Database
It was the goal of this project to convert spinal CT-Scan data into a usable CAE geometry database of patient populations for extraction and use by engineers during the development of orthopedic devices.
We developed an interface which provides engineers access to the geometry database via the internet where they may preview and manipulate the geometry in any HTML browser, and download the desired geometry to their computers for use with other engineering software.
