FEMAP

In the world of ever decreasing development cycle times, running digital simulations of design concepts has become a critical part of this process.  That's where FEMAP comes in.   FEMAP has been and continues to be the world’s leading Windows- based pre- and post-processor for finite element analyses (FEA).  FEMAP can use geometric data from virtually any CAD system in the development of FEA models and provides the user with a wide variety of element types, properties, material models, loads, and boundary conditions.  FEMAP can also output CAD-neutral, solver-neutral model files that can be solved using any one of more than 30 industry standard solvers - including ABAQUS, ANSYS, CAEFEM, LS-DYNA, and FLUENT - all using a common interface. 

However, the productivity of FEMAP does not stop there anymore as Siemens PLM Software has raised the bar once again.  FEMAP now has a full range of its own solvers that are available.  First and foremost is is NX Nastran.  Nastran has been the de facto solver for stress and deflection analyses for over 20 years and is now integrated into the FEMAP suite. Other solvers available include the Thermal Solver, Advanced Thermal Solver, and Flow Solver. 

FEMAP is one of the Siemens PLM Software Velocity Series products.  Because of that, it integrates seamlessly with the modeling software in the series, Solid Edge.  You can launch FEMAP directly from within the Solid Edge environment.   All import concerns are gone!  If you would like to find out more about FEMAP and how to take you digital simulation process to the next level, please contact us, and we will be glad to discuss it with you.
