ATLANTA, GA, Mar 27, 2025 – IronCAD has announced the release of Multiphysics for IronCAD 2025 (MPIC 2025), featuring new technologies and enhancements to streamline the digital prototyping process. The latest release underscores IronCAD’s guarantee to empower CAD users with advanced analysis tools that deliver exact, realistic, and rapid simulations to accelerate product development.
“IronCAD’s commitment to continuous improvement ensures that our users receive cutting-edge tools that enhance their design capabilities,” said Cary O’Connor, SVP of product and strategy at IronCAD. “With MPIC 2025, we are making advanced simulation and optimization more accessible, empowering designers and engineers to make data-driven decisions earlier in the product development cycle.”
Key Enhancements in MPIC 2025 Include:
Fully Integrated Design Optimization Tool
- Integrated within IronCAD, the tool allows designers to set precise optimization goals, improve product usability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
- The tool uses algorithms to choose suitable methods for different optimization tasks, such as reducing weight, minimizing deformation, improving thermal efficiency, and enhancing flow performance.
- Parametric studies can identify and analyze geometric variations, providing design sensitivity feedback.
Revolutionary Automatic MLS Tie/Glue Feature for Assembly Analysis
- The enhanced Moving Least-Squares (MLS) automatic tie/glue constraint detects and resolves gaps or interferences in complex assemblies, whether intended or not.
- By automatically applying mesh tying constraints, MPIC 2025 reduces preparation time for stress, thermal, flow, and electrical analysis, ensuring accuracy with minimal user intervention.
Enhanced Sefea V3 for Accurate and Efficient Simulation
- The strain-enriched finite element analysis (Sefea V3) leverages refined gradient enrichment techniques, enabling convergence and accurate simulations with coarse meshes.
- The new “Auto Solve” feature simplifies analysis tasks by automatically generating solutions based on predefined settings.
Advanced 3D Iso-Surface Plotting for Clearer Insights
- Visualize equal pressure, temperature, or potential distributions.
- Animated iso-surface plots help users trace flux propagation and pinpoint performance bottlenecks.
Accelerated Computational Performance with Analytical Polar Decomposition
- MPIC 2025 incorporates a new analytical polar decomposition method for strain tensors, accelerating computations during deformation and rotation analyses.
- Enhanced computational efficiency helps engineers achieve accurate results.
MPIC 2025 includes updates and fixes that improve workflow stability, internal cavity meshing, non-linear material property assignment, solver file handling, and multi-physics property management.
