Femap is a ‘solver neutral’ advanced engineering simulation software program that creates finite element analysis models of complex engineering products and systems and displays solution results from most high-end industry FE solvers. Femap can virtually model components, assemblies or systems and determine product characteristics and performance for a given operating environment.
What Femap can do for you:
Femap enables you to create full finite element models with underlying data for virtually any industry standard Finite Element (FE) solver, allowing you to view, create or modify entities directly. Femap's grouping, layering and visualization tools help you to manage model display while creating and setting up the finite element model.
Femap includes specialized capabilities to help with modeling tasks including:
Besides solid and shell element models Femap also supports beam modeling and meshing. This technique allows models comprising long, slender components (for which a solid meshing approach would create a large, unwieldy model) to be represented by one-dimensional elements with associated properties.
A wealth of post-processing capabilities help you view and interpret FE solver results to quickly understand your products characteristics, performance and behavior. You'll find everything you need to view and interpret the output data, including:
Complete access to results data is provided through the Data Table pane, which you can use to gather, sort and control the amount and type of data that is visible to quickly and efficiently compile an analysis report.
Femap's open customization capability allows complete access to all Femap functions through an OLE/COM object-oriented Application Programming Interface (API), which employs standard, non-proprietary programming languages. Access to the API is through a development environment within the user interface where you can create custom programs that automate workflows and processes, and which can interact and exchange data with third-party programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
Femap is an intuitive Windows-native application. Femap's support of multiple graphics windows and specialized panes, such as the Model Info Tree and Data Table, allow complete access to the finite element model and results data and help promote efficient work flows. You can modify the appearance of the interface to suit your requirements, including repositioning panes, modifying the level of functionality exposed, and complete toolbar and icon customization.
