FEA simulation, right in the browser
Import CAD geometry in STEP, IGES or Parasolid — no heavy workstation software, no waiting on floating licenses.
- ✓Early access
- ✓Lifetime discount
- ✓Priority feature voting
Test WebCAE on real CAD models, share feedback, and help shape the solver roadmap.
Everything you need for structural analysis
WebCAE covers the full loop — from CAD import to a shareable report — inside a single browser tab.
Any CAD format
STEP, IGES, Parasolid and native exports from SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and Inventor.
Adaptive meshing
Automatic tetrahedral mesh with local refinement at fillets, holes and thin walls.
Linear & modal analysis
Static structural, modal frequency and thermal-stress studies out of the box.
Runs on your device
Simulations run right in your browser, on your own hardware — nothing to install, nothing to license.
Team collaboration
Share a project link, comment on a result, keep a full version history per study.
API & CI/CD
Trigger automated design checks from your pipeline with the WebCAE REST API.
From geometry to result in four steps
The same pipeline you just saw above — laid out plainly.
- 01
Import geometry
Drag in a CAD file — WebCAE reads dimensions and topology automatically.
- 02
Generate mesh
An adaptive finite-element mesh is built in the browser, no plugins required.
- 03
Set loads
Click on faces or edges to apply forces, pressures and fixed constraints.
- 04
Get results
Read stress, deformation and safety factor, then export a PDF report.
What we're building next
Built in the open — this is where WebCAE stands today and what's shipping next.

Questions engineers ask us
Which CAD formats can I import?+
STEP, IGES and Parasolid directly, plus native SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and Inventor files via our converters.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Geometry import, meshing, solving and post-processing all run right in the browser, on your own device.
What analysis types are supported?+
Linear static structural, modal (natural frequency) and steady-state thermal-stress today, with nonlinear and fatigue on the roadmap.
Is my model data secure?+
Projects are encrypted at rest and in transit and are only visible to your team. Enterprise plans support VPC or on-prem deployment.
Can I export results?+
Yes — export a PDF report, raw mesh/result files, or pull results into your pipeline via the API.
