midas MeshFree 2023 R1

The Midas IT development team is pleased to announce the availability of MeshFree 2023 R1. This technology performs finite element analysis on the original CAD model without need for meshing or defeaturing.

MeshFree 2023 Release Note
In August 2018, we released MeshFree 1.0 with slight changes to the existing CAE technology. Smaller technological changes that are freer to create meshes have innovatively overcome FEM-based technical limitations that have occupied the CAE market for more than half a century. MeshFree leads the change in the CAE process in the design stage, which allows design engineers to perform analysis by themselves using the beautiful model prototypes designed by design engineers to verify the performance of design products and perform optimal design. In MeshFree 2023, to establish itself as a more reliable partner, the ease of use has been strengthened, and efforts have been made for continuous improvement to improve reliability.

Improved Topology Optimization Results for Shape Boundary Constraints


MeshFree is an algorithm based on the IBM (Implicit Boundary Method) that generates a grid for analysis. In previous versions, an issue was identified where the local topology optimization density calculations fluctuated in shape boundary regions with multiple surfaces. To address this, improvements were made to ensure that the density calculations during the computation process adhere to the normal range of 0.0 to 1.0, taking into account boundary recognition and stiffness density considerations. Further validation was conducted by comparing and verifying the trends and effectiveness of the results with the FEM (Finite Element Method) algorithm.


Additional Bug Fixes

Fixing CAD Interface Recognition Error


We have identified an issue in the web authentication method where the modules for SolidEdge and CATIA v4,5 in the CAD interface options were displayed and applied incorrectly. However, the problem has been resolved, and they are now functioning correctly

Improvement of 1000 Error Related to License Packing Module
We have identified an issue where certain security programs were mistakenly detecting and blocking the software due to changes in the license packing module. However, we have addressed this problem and made necessary improvements to ensure that there are no security issues arising from certain option changes.

Fixed Anomalous Termination Error in Result Curve Calculation


We have identified an issue where the application of the curve function for the result values was causing abnormal terminations in certain customer PC environments after completing the MeshFree analysis. However, we have resolved this error by modifying the curve function to perform correctly for the entire analysis module.

CAD Interface Update


Support for the latest version of the CAD interface may be delayed depending on the supplier's update environment. If the newest version is not supported, please convert it to a neutral file such as Parasolid or STEP file format. We will do our best to reflect on the latest version of CAD quickly.


midas MeshFree is a cutting-edge design and analysis technology developed through the collaboration with SAMSUNG Electronics. It performs simulation of the original model you have designed without any modification. Conventional FEM required tedious and time consuming model idealization and cleanup process. However, MeshFree has the latest, efficient and effective numerical analysis algorithm that can simulate using the original 3D CAD model itself.
