    Simcenter Femap

    Tackle complex product design challenges with advanced finite element modeling and analysis software. Verify and optimize your design.

    In today’s fast-paced market, Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) is essential for companies looking to develop high-performing, reliable, and cost-effective products. By integrating CAE into your product development process, you can accelerate innovation, reduce costs, and optimize designs before production even begins.

    Why add CAE to your design workflow?

    Virtual testing – reduce prototypes and physical testing

    • Reduce cost – fewer prototypes
    • Speed time to market – product validation time shortens
    • Fast return on investment – overall time from concept to design to validation and production reduces

    Failure analysis

    • Improve product performance
    • Improve reliability
    • Reduce costly recalls

    Optimize the design

    • Reduce weight and material
      (10 – 30% typical)
    • Evaluate cheaper materials
    • Evaluate different designs
    • Evaluate cheaper materials
    • Foster innovation

    Latest release!

    Simcenter Femap 2401, includes new features and enhanced functionality based on user feedback.

    Simulation

    A built-in finite element analysis (FEA), allowing design engineers to digitally validate part and assembly designs within the Solid Edge environment. Based on Femap finite element modeling and NX Nastran solver technology, it reduces the need for physical prototypes, which lowers your material and testing costs, and saves design time.

    FloEFD

    FloEFD for Solid Edge is the only frontloading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool—fully embedded in Solid Edge.

    Moving CFD simulation early into the design process helps design engineers examine trends and eliminate less desirable design options.

    Technical Illustration

    Create high-quality 3D PDF documents and cloud-ready illustrations from your Solid Edge files and other 3D CAD formats. A complete image, animation and template-based 3D PDF creation package, making it easy to create high-quality communications from your 3D models.

    Harness design

    A wire harness design and layout tool that includes the creation of full-scaled, manufacturing-ready drawings, an automated bill of materials, and reports.

    Wiring design

    A schematic diagramming application, featuring integrated electrical analysis and simulation; allows design teams to overcome electromechanical design challenges.

    Electrical routing

    A dedicated, process-driven environment for the efficient creation, routing and organization of wires, cables and bundles in a Solid Edge assembly.

    PCB design

    Schematic capture and PCB layout tools that simplify the complex task of printed circuit board design.

    Sketch routing, hierarchical 2D/3D planning and placement, ECAD/MCAD collaboration.
