SAMCEF for Machine Tools
Machine Tools design and analysis with SAMCEF. Machine tool analysis is based on SAMCEF Field, SAMCEF Linear and SAMCEF Mecano and BOSS quattro. The common use of these software allows the users to perform analyses dedicated to Machine Tool Design combining structures, mechanisms, controller Design and analysis.

SAMCEF offers to right environment to Machine Tool Design combining structures, mechanisms, controller Design and analysis.

It offers a unique environment for the global design and the detailed mechatronic verification of Machine Tools. This Computer Aided Engineering tool is completely based on geometries defined locally or imported from well-known CAD systems. It offers a complete toolbox of components giving for the first time to the designer the possibility to use the same modeling environment during the whole design process from A to Z, i.e. from simple rigid body simulation to check the global kinematics of the Machine Tool to very detailed verification using Finite Element technique of the dynamic behavior of the machine tool interacting with its controllers.

In the past, the mechanical design of machine tools was mainly based on rigid body mechanism simulation and separate local structure analysis using Finite Element Method.

Your benefits:

SAMCEF proposes now the integration of these complementary disciplines into the same modeling environment with, in addition, the management of behavior laws of servomechanisms.

Machine-Tool design and analysis is based on the following software tools developed by SAMTECH s.a.:

  • SAMCEF Field, the associative object oriented modeling environment of SAMCEF
  • SAMCEF Linear, the complete set of linear modules of SAMCEF for structure analysis :
    • linear static analysis (SAMCEF Asef);
    • modal analysis and super-element creation/restitution (SAMCEF Dynam).
  • SAMCEF Mecano, the powerful non-linear module of SAMCEF for both mechanism simulation and non-linear structure analysis in static, kinematical or dynamic conditions;
  • BOSS quattro, the open object oriented task management and optimization platform, allowing also parametric studies, sensitivity analyses, statistical analyses, model updating with experiments, design of experiments and response surfaces.
