Why FEMAP ?

Real FEA Made Easy

Femap, published by Siemens PLM Software, is a standalone simulation solution that 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.

Femap is a professional level pre- and post-processor used for preparing models and viewing the results of engineering analyses for structural, heat transfer, and fluid flow problems. Femap can import geometry from all major CAD systems and can use a wide variety of solvers including finite element analysis (FEA) and computation fluid dynamics (CFD).

Who Uses Femap?

Femap is for product design and development professionals who need to do more effective analysis and have moved beyond the capabilities found in typical in-CAD simulation software or more limited FEA products. They need a CAE tool that provides them with more functionality, more control over the analysis process, and provides more accurate results. They have moved from simple parts to assemblies and more complex systems. They have moved from being primarily involved in CAD design with occasional need for validation to more involvement with engineering and analysis. They have climbed the FEA learning curve and are ready for the next level of analysis.

Femap With NEi Nastran Solver

HingeIntegrating tightly with NEi Nastran, this combination provides significant additional functionality for Nastran users. This includes advanced capabilities for composites engineering and analysis with tools for advanced failure criteria for first ply failure like Puck and LaRC02 and Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA™) for simulation of behavior beyond first ply failure. Automated Impact Analysis (AIA™) provides sophisticated simulation for drop tests and implicit impact studies. Productivity tools like Automated Surface Contact Generation (ASCG™) and Automated Edge Contact Generation (AECG™) help in industries with models having large shell like structures as found in ship building and automotive. See the Key Features of NEi Nastran for a full itemization of distinctive features.

Customer Testimonial

MIT"The NEi Nastran and Femap software suite provided powerful, yet easy to use tools needed to analyze the design of our CASTOR satellite. We were  pleased that such powerful modeling tools were simple enough for a novice to learn and use. We look forward to continued use of NEi Software products throughout our engineering projects".

- Massachusetts Institute of Technology Space Systems Laboratory

navsea"Both of the answers to my inquiries have resulted in success with my model. The results are excellent. Also, using NEi Nastran & Femap, for this analysis has produced a simulation that was not possible with MSC.Nastran. Prior to using NE, I was using MSC and had to run this model in linear mode due to the high number of contact surfaces".

New Release of Femap Version 10.3

The V10.3 release focuses more on improved user productivity through a new automatic 3D geometry preparation capability. The post-processing toolbox has also been extended to house an overhauled and extended free body tool that provides a detailed results reviewing capability for free-body diagrams and interface loads. Femap is tightly integrated with NEi Nastran and also provides integration to a wide range of industry-standard structural and thermal solvers.

These are just some of the Femap 10.3 benefits:

alt Improved user productivity through new automatic 3D geometry preparation capability
alt Extended post-processing toolbox and free body tool
alt Easier and faster way to review free body diagrams and interface loads
alt Nitinol and Shape Memory Alloys are now supported for NEi Nastran
alt Rigid element support for thermal analysis in NEi Nastran
