P3/TEAM(tm), PDA Engineering's Trimmed Element Analysis Method, is the first structural analysis system that uses the CAD geometry directly in an integrated manner. In P3/TEAM, analysis is performed directly on the geometry without the need to create a mesh. All analysis operations - application of load and boundary conditions, assignment of materials, results processing and all numerical methods - utilize the CAD-based geometry Model feature.
In addition, P3/TEAM employs a unique adaptive method that assures accuracy of results to within a user-specified value. The combination of operating directly on the geometry without meshing and ensuring accurate results, makes this tool a significant productivity tool for design engineers.
