Femap is an advanced engineering simulation software program that creates finite element analysis models of complex engineering products and systems, and displays solution results. Femap can virtually model components, assemblies or systems and determine the behavioral response for a given operating environment. Using Femap’s digital simulation capabilities you can: * Predict and improve product performance and reliability * Reduce time-consuming and costly physical prototyping and testing * Evaluate different designs and materials * Optimize your designs and reduce material usage Last week, Siemens announced a new release of Femap - version 10.1.1. It is the latest in a series of more than 30 successful product releases for the product. Thanks to my colleagues from Germany @SiemensPLM_DE who tweeted this out last week. Driving the Femap 10.1.1 release is the inclusion of the latest version of our flagship simulation solver, NX Nastran 7. On the graphics and modeling side, Femap 10.1.1 continues the visualization theme of the previous 10.1 release, enhancing visibility control of solid parts, as well as adding the following capabilities: * New bearing load definition * Enhanced entity selection with keyboard shortcuts * Text based filtering for selection of titled entities
