CAC Announces Lumino 3D Model Builder

By DE Editors

Concurrent Analysis (CAC), a Southern California-based developer of CAE solutions, has launched Lumino, a 3D model builder and pre- and post-processor for finite element analysis (FEA), and the revision to its CAEFEM suite of FEA solver products.

Jointly developed by CAC and Visual Design Automation, Lumino offers a complete solution for direct importing of CAD geometries (ACIS, SAT & Parasolids Kernels), native 2D and 3D model building and automatic meshing, pre- and post-processing features and fully customizable menu for local language support.  

Lumino exploits 64-bit file addressing to manage large databases exceeding 2Gb in size while supporting 3Gb of addressable memory for older 32bit-based operating systems.  The codes in Lumino have been written using C/C++ and platform-independent strategies so that the user will not find any difference between Windows and Linux versions.  

CAEFEM developed by Concurrent Analysis, is written completely in C/C++, providing linear and nonlinear simulations of mechanical components for static, quasi-static and dynamic loads and heat transfer.  CAC also provides interfaces to FEMAP and NASTRAN Bulk Data.

CAEFEM/Lumino solution supports modeling contact in 3D assemblies as well as 2D problems.  APIs are available for immediate new application support and interfaces to third-party tools.

CAEFEM Revision 9.5 includes improvements and enhancements in the API for partners to access the CAEFEM database.  Support for very large problem sizes and processing of its input has also been improved.
