Scalable solutions
Simcenter Femap is available standalone or bundled with Simcenter NASTRAN with add-on modules that form a series of powerful, robust and affordable solutions suitable for companies that have a diverse set of analysis requirements.
Simcenter Femap with Simcenter NASTRAN
The Simcenter Femap with Simcenter NASTRAN package seamlessly combines the advanced functionality of the Windows-native Simcenter Femap pre- and post-processor with the powerful Simcenter NASTRAN solver. A series of advanced solution capabilities are available as add-on modules, providing engineering desktop solutions for even the most advanced NASTRAN analysis.
The following flexible solution configurations are available as below.
- Simcenter Femap with Simcenter NASTRAN - provides all of the capabilities that you will need in many instances, including linear statics, normal modes, buckling, steady-state and transient heat transfer, basic nonlinear, design sensitivity and unlimited problem size capabilities.
- Dynamic response - enables product performance to be evaluated in both the time and frequency domains.
- Optimization - determine optimal design parameters with sizing and topology optimization capabilities.
- Multi-step structural - facilitates large deformation; supports nonlinear materials, time-dependent loads, deformable and rigid contact.
- Multi-Step Nonlinear Kinematics - offers many of the same capabilities as Multi-Step Structural with the addition of Kinematic Joints and Flexible Sliders used for Flexible Body Dynamics.
- Structural analysis toolkit - saves postprocessing time by organizing results data and calculating additional results quantities.
- Aeroelasticity - determines structural response from aerodynamic loading for static and flutter conditions.
- Rotor dynamics - predicts the dynamic response of rotating systems such as shafts, turbines and propellers to determine critical shaft speeds.
