Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) has launched their unique automated CAE modelling tool, ConceptWorks, the latest and most innovative addition to their CAE legacy. With ConceptWorks, CAE engineers will now be able to bridge the gap between modelling design and analysis, which will help in optimizing the model, with faster turnaround times, and minimal effort.

Radha Krishnan, Founder & President, Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), said, “We are proud at DEP to keep developing innovative new solutions that makes the life of the engineer easier, and can help companies get to market faster. Every new addition in MeshWorks, is a reflection of the passion and effort the entire team puts in to create smarter solutions. We also ensure that the tools are simple and designed in such a way that engineers at any level can start creating concept parts after a single 3-4 hour training. We have started with ConceptWorks for structures, and we have more exciting upcoming modules in the pipeline.”

ConceptWorks is the latest addition to DEP MeshWorks, DEP’s legacy integrated CAE platform for pre and post processing, involving rapid concept CAE and CAD model generation, parameterization and optimization, advanced meshing, process automation, concept modelling and CAD morphing. ConceptWorks allows users to redefine the concept modelling phase by allowing CAE engineers to efficiently produce concept members for design and optimization studies. With ConceptWorks, drastic design transformations are made immediately at the CAE level. As a CAE tool for structural engineers, ConceptWorks enables the creation of structural members and joints without using CAD software, allowing engineers to focus on their core competencies.

Ray Chaney, Global Director of Pre Sales and Software Support, Detroit Engineered Products, said “We noticed that during the vehicle development stage, while creating concept parts, any ideas from the CAE team to generate new parts or improve design needs to be communicated to the CAD designers, who will then create or redesign the components. After this, The CAE engineers will need to spend time on meshing and assembly, and this back-and-forth process will continue until an optimal solution is achieved which is very time consuming, and inefficient. Hence, we developed ConceptWorks, which solves the problem, and gives the CAE engineers the power to quickly generate Concept members for design and optimization studies by giving the user the ability to make radical changes directly at the CAE level.”
