CAE Software Services

Convergent Mechanical Solutions develops, uses and supports Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software.

CAE Software Development

Convergent provides engineering, scientific and mathematical software development services. Examples of these services include Excel add-ins, Fortran libraries, Java or PHP web applications, stand-alone C++ desktop applications and algorithms optimized for parallel processing.

While most of work is proprietary to customers Convergent can provide a few modest samples that were developed as proof of concept applications.

CAE Analysis Services

Convergent provides consulting services with the finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS and Abaqus (a.k.a. Simulia). Convergent extends these applications and others with custom elements, material models and more.

Convergent's FEA results are of superior quality because of a familiarity with the mathematical foundations of FEA as well as the numerical methods employed by this class of CAE software applications. Convergent Mechanical Solutions can be considered a trusted complement to your engineering team.

CAE Software Support

Software support is a critical, but often overlooked component of software development. Convergent will be support you beyond development by answering users' technical questions as well as offering maintenance and enhancement upgrades. Convergent also provides support in North America for ESAComp, a sophisticated composites analysis application.

Convergent can also provide maintenance and upgrading support for your corporation's internally developed or open source CAE software.

Open Source CAE Software

There is an overwhelming amount of open source software available for CAE users. This software varies dramatically in quality and performance. Convergent can help you navigate these options and customize the right solution to meet your unique needs.

Convergent also contributes time and software engineering support to a few open source projects. A consultant at Convergent ported CalculiX, a finite element analysis application, to Windows and packaged it in an installer. It is available for download at:

Note that Convergent does not provide Professional Engineering services, but will work under the supervision of your Professional Engineers as required to get the job done.
