Siemens PLM Announces Femap 10.3

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software announced the latest release of its Femap pre- and post-processor for engineering finite element analysis (FEA) running on the Windows operating system. Enhancements in Femap 10.3 make it easier and faster for end users to work with complex geometry models, and a new user interface feature further extends support for advanced functionality in the NX Nastran FEA application.

Features include a new automatic geometry preparation feature that reduces the time necessary to prepare complex geometry for FEM preprocessing (meshing); an enhanced user interface feature that supports interactive model set-up for the aeroelastic analysis capability of NX Nastran; and the Femap Postprocessing Toolbox has been extended to include the Free Body Tool, improving the ease and speed with which users can create free body diagrams and review interface loads.
