 This core package includes FEMPRO, an easy-to-use, single user interface for finite element modeling, results evaluation and presentation; and a suite of modeling capabilities.
Analysis capabilities include static stress analysis with linear material models; weight, center of gravity and mass moment of inertia analysis and linear contact.
Analysis CapabilitiesModeling- CAD support for 2-D and 3-D wireframe geometry in CDL, DXF and IGES file formats
- Superdraw 2- and 3-D sketching tools including capabilities to draw points, lines, rectangles, arcs, circles, splines and tangent lines and modify sketch objects with commands including copy, divide, fillet, intersect, rotate, mirror, move, parallel, trim/extend and delete
- Complex surface modeling
- Beam modeling including direct access to AISC section property data
- Capability to combine all element types available for a given analysis type in a single model
