Simcenter Femap
Simcenter Femap is an advanced simulation tool for creating, editing and inspecting finite element models of complex products or systems. You can use advanced workflows in Simcenter Femap to model components, assemblies, or systems to then determine a model's behavioral response when subjected to real-world conditions.
In addition, Simcenter Femap offers a powerful data-driven graphical results visualization and evaluation tool, which, in combination with industry-leading Simcenter Nastran, provides a complete CAE solution, ensuring that products reproduce design performance in the real environments and makes it possible to improve this performance.

Reduce time spent preparing analysis models and get more time to evaluate results. Rapidly advance manipulation of multi-CAD geometries to prompt execution of CAE models, comprehensive meshing, FE assembly management, multi-CAE solver environments, and simulation data post-processing.
Efficiently mesh your models using comprehensive automatic and/or manual modeling functions of 1D, 2D, and 3D elements, as well as numerous techniques for applying loads and boundary conditions. User-defined geometry edits, meshes, and boundary conditions are all tied to the base design, which means that when the base design geometry changes, you can quickly update your model. This approach greatly reduces downstream modeling time , which results in huge time savings in the many iterations of analysis and design of a product.
In their quest to create lighter yet stronger products, manufacturers are increasingly using composite materials. It is at the forefront of component analysis through the continuous development of material models and element types. Simcenter accelerates the entire laminated composite simulation process through a seamless connection to composite design, accurate solvers , and comprehensive post-processing.
Simcenter Femap allows a view of the basic behavior of a fluid together with all associated physics in the FEA model.
Understanding how a product component or assembly reacts under stress or vibration is critical in any industry. However, as products and materials become increasingly complex, engineers need tools that go beyond linear-static analyses. Simcenter Femap provides the structural analysis software you need to simulate a wide range of applications in a single environment and in conjunction with industry-leading Simcenter Nastran.
Simcenter Femap includes first-class and complete thermal simulation capabilities that can help you understand your product's thermal characteristics and subsequently tailor your thermal management solution for optimal performance.
How can I reduce material in a component or change its properties, ensuring it continues to meet performance targets? Simcenter Femap offers engineering optimization techniques that can help you answer these questions by systematically looking for the best design that satisfies certain criteria. Reduce component weight or find the right combination of parameters to improve product performance through full topology, geometry and parameter optimization capabilities.
As companies increase their reliance on simulation, they are looking for ways to speed up the analysis process and increase simulation throughput. One of the ways to increase simulation throughput is to capture repetitive CAE processes, standardize and automate them. Simcenter allows you to capture the experience of senior analysts and make it available to junior engineers in your organization for use in the form of wizards or templates.
