Patran-Pre lets you model, develop and test a product using computer-based simulation and thereby reducing or eliminating costly prototyping and testing.
Modelling made easy
Patran-Pre is customised for a seamless integration with the Sesam modelling, analysis, and results program modules.
Major design companies around the world use Patran-Pre in their product improvement process, thereby reducing or eliminating costly prototyping and testing.
Designers can use the advanced geometry modelling features or import CAD parts to build the structure. A variety of meshing algorithms and a customized Sesam preference enables seamless submit of models for structural and hydrodynamic analysis and capacity checking.
