What Does ConceptWorks Do?

ConceptWorks, a specialized module within MeshWorks, empowers CAE engineers—regardless of CAD expertise – to rapidly develop and refine structural design concepts directly at the mesh level. By eliminating the dependency on traditional CAD workflows, ConceptWorks accelerates early-phase design iterations, allowing users to model and optimize structural members, joints, and components quickly and efficiently, ultimately reducing development time and cost.

Accelerated Concept Design

Allows immediate design modifications within CAE, reducing CAD dependency and enabling faster concept iterations.

Integrated Design & Analysis

Bridges the gap between ideation and simulation, streamlining product development from concept to analysis.

Time and Cost Reduction

Reduces modeling time by up to 70%, significantly cutting engineering lead times during initial design phases.

Multi-Domain Applicability

Supports concept modeling for sheet metal, castings, plastics, and more – expanding usability across industries.
