SUCCESS RATE:
DesignSpace successfully meshed and solved 100% of the test cases (24 models) Cosmos/Works meshed and
solved 80% of the test cases and MSC/InCheck meshed and solved 42% of the problems.
MESH QUALITY:
When looking at mesh quality DesignSpace created no bad elements. Cosmos/Works had an average of 231 bad
elements per part. MSC/InCheck had 22 bad elements per part.
SOLVING SPEED:
Solving speeds measured in solved elements per second: Cosmos/Works was 1.6 times faster than DesignSpace.
DesignSpace was 3.5 times faster than the MSC/InCheck.
MESHING SPEED:
Meshing speed results in elements per second: DesignSpace was over 2.5 times faster than Cosmos and over 3.1
times faster than MSC/InCheck.
OVERALL SPEED:
On average problem speed, which is the combination of the mesh and solve. DesignSpace was 2.4 times faster
than Cosmos and 1.4 times faster than MSC/InCheck. These numbers reflect the average time per part.
