Femap: we’ve turned it up to 11

OK, perhaps not exactly like Spinal Tap’s volume control, but today we’re very happy to announce that Femap 11, the latest version of Femap CAE software, has been released to manufacturing.

Femap 11 brings improved performance, enhanced postprocessing capabilities, and extended analysis support – find out more…



The highlights…

External results files:

• You can now attach the Nastran results data file to Femap without having to import the results data which means data access is much faster, much less memory is used used during postprocessing and the Femap model file size is kept to a minimum.

Graphics performance enhancements

• Femap 11 graphics performance is significantly improved for dynamic rotation of large models, as Femap can now takes advantage of the graphics card memory directly.

Analysis extensions

• Femap now helps out with setting up external superelement creation and assembly runs making it easier to transfer model data confidentially.

Create geometry from mesh

• With this new geometry creation capability you can take a legacy FE model and use it to create new geometry. Then you can make any necessary modifications and updates and remesh to create a new model – a much easier and faster way of updating old models when you don’t have the underlying geometry.
