Revolutionize Your CAE Workflows With Spatial
Spatial’s Software Development Kits (SDKs) for CAE applications help companies create automatic simulation workflows, keeping a tight link with the geometry while remaining efficient. Let our technology elevate your technology.
Ensure High-Quality Software
With Spatial SDKs
Companies creating simulation software have customers with models to discretize, run simulations, and go from B-Rep CAD to mesh. Developing in-house solutions can be tempting and very rewarding as this ensures the quality of the software used by the customers and complete control over the workflow.
However, this requires significant effort and expertise to ensure robustness and accuracy in industrial use cases.
CAE software users need the software to understand the relationship between the multiple data sources used throughout the workflow and build workflows that adapt to upstream or iterative changes made to the designs and simulations.
Spatial’s SDKs enable application developers to build integrated engineering simulation solutions, allowing greater accuracy in predicting how product designs will behave in real-world environments. The value we offer is allowing you to focus purely on your solvers. Our SDKs are able to import data from a large variety of file formats, making it possible for you to generate high-quality meshes automatically for a broad range of applications.

This feature is designed for a bullet-proof simulation-driven modeling process capable of handling complex industrial geometries with ease and efficiency. It ensures a seamless, robust workflow for various industrial applications.
Surface Meshing
Sophisticated Surface Meshing from CAD
The Surface Meshing component transforms CAD designs into high-quality surface meshes. It allows you to control mesh size parameters and choose the type of elements, including quadratic, while preserving crucial entities. This feature is versatile, supporting various options like patch independence and periodicity. The Surface Meshing workflow remains consistent, ensuring the same mesh quality and controls. It offers local and global control over the size and shape of elements, with curvature-based sizing and gradation control, ensuring the creation of the right mesh for any application.
Comprehensive Volume Meshing
Advanced Integration from Surface to Volume Meshing
Our Volume Meshing technologies allow you to seamlessly integrate surface mesh details into the volume mesh creation process. It automatically generates a volume mesh driven by a precise, watertight surface mesh, ensuring CAD mesh associativity and supporting complex structures like inner surfaces and holes. This feature not only retains the precision and features of the original surface mesh but also incorporates advanced techniques like Proximity Detection to enhance the overall mesh quality, ensuring a robust, accurate and flexible solution for a wide range of modeling applications.
