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 Femap version 10.3 is the latest release of the state-of-the-art finite element modeling pre- and postprocessor for engineering simulation and analysis. Femap works in combination with a wide variety of finite element analysis solvers, including the industry-leading NX Nastran application. The latest release of Femap, version 10.3, helps improve user productivity through a new automatic 3D geometry preparation capability. This removes the need for manual model cleanup, which is typically very time consuming, and prepares the geometry so that it can be easily meshed to create an accurate and efficient finite element model. The postprocessing 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. Version 10.3 extends the scope of simulation with the introduction of user interface support for NX Nastran aeroelasticity, which allows aeroelastic model preparation for statics and flutter analyses. Femap 10.3 ships with NX Nastran 8.0 and brings numerous enhancements. Performance has also improved for forced dynamic response analyses, and for many preprocessing functions. In addition, there are many other customer driven enhancements included in this latest version of Femap
