What Is Altair SimSolid?
Altair SimSolid is a structural analysis application built for rapidly changing designs and fully featured CAD assemblies. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, while tolerating gaps, penetrations and rough contact areas that commonly appear in assembly models.
Its computational method generalizes the finite element method with degrees of freedom associated with volumes, surfaces, line clouds and point clouds. A multi-pass adaptive solver refines the solution globally or around selected parts and features, which supports fast design comparisons on workstation-class hardware.
From CAD Assembly to Comparable Design Studies
- Import the assembly: Bring in a supported CAD file or use an available CAD integration without removing small holes, fillets and bosses solely to create a mesh.
- Review parts and connections: Assign materials, then inspect automatically detected contacts and assembly connectors such as bolts, welds, rivets and bushings.
- Create the analysis: Select a structural, modal, dynamic or thermal sequence and apply loads, constraints and solution settings.
- Solve and compare: Review contours, animations, frequencies, mode shapes, XY plots, reaction forces and other results across design studies.
Analysis Types and Result Scope
| Analysis area | Documented scope |
|---|---|
| Statics | Linear and nonlinear static response, inertia relief and linear superposition |
| Dynamics | Modal, frequency response, linear transient and random response |
| Thermal | Thermal and linked thermal-stress analysis |
| Connections | Bonded, sliding and separating contacts plus bolts, welds, adhesives, rivets, joints, bushings and virtual connectors |
| Results | Displacement, stress, strain, strain energy, safety factor, frequency, mode shape, reaction and contact-force outputs |
Altair SimSolid 2025.0 vs 2026.1
| Store offer | Verified release-family checkpoint |
|---|---|
| 2025.0 | The 2025 release adds result queries across datum planes, DMIG superelement import/export, temperature-dependent structural materials, CSV assignment for rigid bodies and skin thickness, coaxial-hole rivets and a direct NX connector. |
| 2026.1 | The 2026 release family adds complex-eigenvalue rotordynamics, electromagnetic S-parameter and modal solutions, orthotropic support for buckling and prestressed modes, reusable connections and expanded dynamic bolt-force output. |
Windows Compatibility by Release
The table uses Altair platform documentation that explicitly includes SimSolid. Release names follow the documentation's evidence granularity rather than extending support from nearby versions.
| Operating system | Confirmed SimSolid release |
|---|---|
| Windows 10 (64-bit) | SimSolid 2025 |
| Windows 11 (64-bit) | SimSolid 2025 SimSolid 2026 |
The 2026 documentation explicitly drops Windows 10. For the two offered release families, Windows 11 is the shared choice; Windows 10 is limited to the 2025 offer.
