Review on Elmer by Victor Olsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good software for stress analysis: Elmer

The visual interface allows you to see clearly all aspects of your models, allowing it easy access even without technical knowledge from physics or mathematics background. You can design model easily with drag & drop functionality in 3D viewport window, while maintaining high level detail through multi-physics modeling tools. When editing complex models the performance may be slow when loading files such as meshes or solids which have very large number of elements (elements). There are also some minor bugs here and there that need fixing if user wants quality product instead just going cheap solutions. I'm using this tool mostly to study fluid flow problems by simulating water pipes network systems at house scale like bathroom drainage system. Also used it to analyze wind turbines structures under different loads conditions. This has given me realistic results about how these turbine will perform during operation period without having to build physical prototypes.

Pros
  • Clean Interface
  • Easy use for new users.
  • Simplify engineering analysis process; reduce effort spent designing simulations/experiments before actually starting simulation / experiment testing phase,
  • User friendly environment where people get more engaged because they feel safe enough not feeling so anxious anymore after seeing everything is well organized into one simple software package., eXplore what needs improvements within
Cons
  • Not bad
