Two Editions
MECHANICAL FINDER has two editions, Standard and Extended. The main difference is the number of geometries that can be modeled. Standard Edition is limited to a single bone, but Extended Edition enables you to create complicated model consisting of multiple bones and imported geometries. In recent years analysis becomes diversified and complicated, therefore Extended Edition users are increasing. Please refer to the percentage of Extended users in your field.
Extended Edition
The Extended Edition provides a complete workflow for CT-based finite element analysis, including CT data import, segmentation, mesh generation, inhomogeneous material property assignment, boundary condition setting, finite element analysis, and result visualization. It supports not only linear static analysis but also contact analysis, geometric nonlinear analysis, material nonlinear analysis, and dynamic analysis.
Standard Edition
The Standard Edition also provides a complete workflow for CT-based finite element analysis. However, it is limited to analyses of single-bone models. In all other respects, it is equivalent to the Extended Edition, supporting linear static analysis as well as geometric nonlinear analysis, material nonlinear analysis, and dynamic analysis.
