Announcing Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 2016

[Sualp.Ozel]

Dear Simulation Mechanical users!

I’m very happy to announce that the Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 2016 product is live and available for download. This is a very exciting release year for us. With the 2016 release, we are rolling out several big changes to the software.

The 2016 release provides significant improvements in the following four categories

1) CAD Preparation for simulation

2) Advanced Nastran^® support

3) Performance improvements, and

4) Usability Enhancements

Most of our Usability and Performance improvements came from direct feedback we received from you on our IdeaStation page (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/simulation-mechanical/idb-p/81)

For a high level overview of the 2016 release as well as deep dive video demonstrations on individual features, you can follow the link to the SimTV (http://simhub.autodesk.com/tv) and search for “Simulation Mechanical 2016”

Note: We will continue to upload more videos to this page so make sure to visit SIMTV often.

We also released our first, fully integrated, free App for Simulation Mechanical 2016 on the Autodesk App store. You can download Version 1 of this App to gain even more functionality from the following link (Supplemental Result Support for SimMech 2016)

Note: We will continue to upgrade this App throughout the year so make sure to re-visit the App store to download all updates.

To gain access to your 2016 product, please log in to our new Autodesk Accounts page. Then click on the ‘management’ link near the top. You will find your Autodesk products on the right hand side of the page. Click on the arrow in front of the product you wish to download and select the release you want to download.

We are proud of the 2016 release and thankful of the extraordinary amount of support and input we have received from the user community throughout the development cycle.

I hope you enjoy the release and please let us know what you think!

Best regards,

Sualp & the Simulation Mechanical development team.

Hi Sualp,

Is this release only limited to standalone version or the Simulation Flex versions as well? 

I can't seem to find 360 version of Mechanical...

The new name for the cloud enabled version of Simulation Mechanical is "Autodesk SImulaton Mechanical Flex".

And yes, this update is for bot the destop version and the flex version of SimMech.

If your Flex subscription is still active, you should see the update available for download on your Autodesk Account page:
