Why Femap
CAE managers overseeing analyst teams can improve overall productivity and simulation accuracy, as well as reduce turnaround times by up to 30 percent.
As a standalone simulation solution, Femap incorporates finite element modeling and analysis functionality within a modern user-interface. Supporting a full range of advanced analysis types, Femap can help you analyze parts and assemblies, model composite materials, and review simulation results quickly and efficiently. You can even customize Femap to suit your design processes. We’ve included some of the reasons why you should consider Femap as the first choice for your engineering analysis environment below, and what some of our customers say about Femap.

Femap Usability
Femap packs in-depth finite element analysis functionality into an up-to-date user-interface and presents advanced modeling techniques in an intuitive style. You’ll find Femap quick to learn and you’ll be up and running after only two day’s training. If you are an infrequent user of simulation, you’ll be able to rapidly pick Femap up as and when you need to. Femap lets you get on with the task in hand efficiently, makes the best use of your time and boosts your productivity.
Access CAD data from multiple sources
Open systems simulation is important particularly if you need to access data from multiple sources. Femap supports with all major CAD systems and modeling data formats, which means that you can transfer data efficiently, and reliably import the CAD model into Femap ready for finite element simulation.
Scalable simulation
Although you may not need some of the more advanced functionality initially, with Femap you can expand your simulation horizons when you need to. So as the amount of simulation performed increases and your requirements grow to take on more sophisticated analyses such as dynamics or design optimization, Femap can expand to provide advanced functionality as required.
Accurate assembly modeling
You can automatically set up an assembly model in Femap using the contact detection functionality to establish the components that are initially touching. Various contact definitions are available that let you define representative mating conditions between connecting parts. The solution in NX Nastran is iterative and updates to take deformation changes into account providing the true contact condition in the final results. Using Femap results for assembly models can be determined accurately and efficiently.
Composite material modeling
The use of composite materials has increased tremendously in recent years, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries where the need to design lighter components without compromising strength or function is vital. You can create, modify and view layups using Femap’s Layup Editor and Layup Viewer. Postprocessing you can take advantage of Femap’s global composite ply functionality to view results on individual plies across the structure.
Results interpretation
Post analysis the task of reviewing and comprehending the results can be overwhelming, particularly with the amount of data that can be generated for larger models. With Femap you have complete control over results data selection and a wide array of display tools to help you sort and visualize pertinent results and gain a quick understanding of the model behavior.
Femap helps you customize the simulation tasks to fit your design processes
Sometimes an off-the-shelf product doesn’t completely fit the bill, and a non-standard solution is required. You can use Femap’s Application Programming Interface (API), with its own built-in programming environment, to customize the way Femap works and how it interacts with other programs, and synchronize it with your design processes and workflows.
Femap value
Femap offers the greatest cost to performance ratio in the industry and provides exceptional value for money both in terms of initial purchase and ongoing maintenance. Also because it’s easy to deploy and use, IT and training overheads are low.
Fast and efficient simulation
With the combination of an intuitive, easy to use user interface and powerful modeling functionality, you can use Femap to produce finite element models efficiently. Post analysis you can take advantage of Femap’s efficient results data selection, sorting and reviewing capabilities to gain a quick understanding of the model behavior.
Wide customer base
Femap has thousands of satisfied customers in all industries and all sizes of company around the world, and the user base is continuing to grow.
