Femap Express
Created specifically for design engineers, Femap Express provides preconfigured, best-practice, process guidance to the user for simple finite element analysis. Using the same process-based approach found within other Solid Edge capabilities, finite element technology is presented to the user in an easy-to-follow workflow using Solid Edge’s patented SmartStep approach and detailed analysis tasks, which are undertaken within a single Solid Edge window. Analysis settings and results are stored with the component; if the part changes, the results are modified without needing to repeat the process of applying loads and constraints. Detailed HTML reporting capabilities and animations capture response-due-to-analysis conditions and full documentation of the results, containing meaningful images of stress contours.
