Geometry and meshing
Geometry from Designcenter NX, Designcenter Solid Edge, Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks, STEP or IGES, cleaned up with mid-surfacing and feature suppression, then meshed with tet, hex and quad tools and live quality feedback.
Simcenter FEMAP
The CAD-independent, solver-neutral pre- and post-processor for finite element analysis.
Simcenter Femap overview
Simcenter Femap is the most widely used Windows-native pre- and post-processor for finite element analysis. It is independent of your CAD system, open to any solver, and bundled with Simcenter Nastran for structural, dynamic and thermal analysis of components, assemblies and complete systems.
Capabilities
Assembly and contact
Components in contact are detected automatically and connected as glued or linear and nonlinear contact, so assembly models are set up in minutes.
Structural analysis
Linear statics, normal modes, buckling, composites and nonlinear analysis with the bundled Simcenter Nastran solver, or any other solver you already own.
Dynamic response
Transient, frequency, random and response-spectrum analysis, plus rotor dynamics and aeroelasticity in the advanced bundle.
Thermal and flow
Conduction, convection, radiation and coupled fluid flow with the Femap thermal and flow solvers, in the same model as the structure.
Postprocessing and reporting
Contour, deformation, cutting-plane and free-body views, charts and a programming interface that automates reports to Word and Excel.
Benefits
Model complex FE models
Mesh-centric modelling from 1D beams and shells to 3D tet and hex meshes.
Trusted Solution
Decades of use in aerospace, automotive and beyond.
