The newest version of Siemens’ Femap software, Version 11,
was released this year. Users are already reporting measurable benefits from
the upgrade which allows for expedited finite element analysis without
sacrificing superior product and performance quality. With the creation of
geometry from a finite element mesh when no underlying geometry is available,
modification is simplified and enables legacy finite element models to be
updated in minutes, not hours. Engineering productivity will be noticeably
improved in product development simulation and analysis because of these capabilities
and also because of significant enhancements in data handling and graphic
performance.
release. A beta tester reported reopening of a large analysis result file as
being 200 times faster. Users of the Femap 11 release can expect:
- Significantly increased data access speeds
- Up to 80% reduced memory usage
- Significantly reduced processing time
- 5x faster dynamic rotation of large, complex models
major CAD systems including NX (Unigraphics), Solid Edge, Pro/Engineer, CATIA, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD. Companies can realize substantial savings by taking advantage of simulation capabilities with Femap 11.These financial savings along with the time-savings benefits fosters productivity while creating better product performance and reliability.
