Femap
Simcenter Femap provides pre- and post-processing for finite-element modelling and solver workflows.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Idealise engineering geometry
Begin with the idealised geometry, material assumptions and analysis scope. In the intended Femap preview, idealise engineering geometry; the visible result is a solver-ready model view with mesh regions and constraints exposed. Review units, connectivity, mesh suitability and model assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Mesh and load the model
Use the selected load cases, contacts and solution controls. In the intended Femap preview, mesh and load the model; the visible result is a configured analysis state with loads and boundary conditions visible. Review load paths, restraints, convergence controls and applicable codes before accepting or exporting it.
Review solver results
Start from the completed result set and acceptance quantities. In the intended Femap preview, review solver results; the visible result is plots or tables that connect response values to the model. Review convergence, sensitivity, units and engineering reasonableness before accepting or exporting it.
