Validate Safety Margins Earlier
The earlier in the design phase you can assess product safety, the lower the risk once a product meets users in the real world.
SATK makes it simple to assess margins of safety for structures, regardless of their complexity, their materials, or the various loads they will be subjected to.
Get support for a variety of failure theories, along with benefits including:
- User-defined element groups
- Element stresses based on various material strengths
- Ability to process NASTRAN static, transient, and frequency response results
Save time, explore more scenarios, and innovate faster
Structural Analysis Toolkit (SATK) for NASTRAN delivers efficiency and accuracy where other software solutions struggle.
• 200 times faster
• Equal or better accuracy
• Computes composite failure metrics
With extensive applications in space systems, electronics and automotive, SATK provides advanced post-processing capabilities for general analyses and state-of-the-art analytical tools for base-driven dynamic simulation.
Test a Structure’s Random Base Acceleration
Simplify the computation of peak derived stress and strain, Von Mises, and shear with SATK’s parallelized random processor. It reads results from NASTRAN normal modes (SOL 103) and measures structural responses.
You can automatically generate the stress margin of safety, and the solution’s useful properties extend to:
- Accounts for modal truncation rapidly and efficiently
- Computes peak vector result magnitudes
- Provides 30% greater accuracy when accounting for non-Gaussian probability distribution
- Supports both Simcenter NASTRAN and MSC NASTRAN
- Runs in batch processing, on either Windows or Linux
Frequently asked questions
What is Structural Analysis Toolkit (SAToolkit)?
SAToolkit is Maya HTT's structural analysis and post-processing toolkit for NASTRAN. It provides specialized processors for random and sine base excitation, modal assessment, stress and margins of safety, energy, element forces and grid-point forces.
Which NASTRAN solvers does SAToolkit support?
The supplied product materials state that SAToolkit supports both Simcenter NASTRAN and MSC NASTRAN and reads their .op2 result files.
How does SAToolkit improve random vibration analysis?
Its Random Processor uses a parallelized modal approach, automatically determines excitation frequencies, calculates multiple output types in a single analysis, and directly calculates peak results at a specified confidence level—including derived quantities that do not follow a zero-mean Gaussian distribution.
Does SAToolkit support fatigue analysis?
Yes. SATK Random Processor supports a Fatigue output request using Dirlik, Narrowband or Steinberg methods with a stress-life approach. It also states that the Sine Processor supports fatigue analysis for sine dwell and constant-rate sine sweep excitations. This capability appears in the newer supplied brochure and is therefore treated here as a newer product capability.
Can SAToolkit run without tying up an engineer's workstation?
Yes. SAToolkit supports batch execution on Windows and Linux, and the Random Processor can be launched from the command line so analyses can use local or remote compute resources rather than requiring an interactive desktop session.
